Would you say the shutter speed range of 1/4 second (min) to 1/2000 (max)was too fast especially when I come to use the camera later for other occasions ? Many thanks in anticipation of your help..Paul I am looking to buy an Olympus SP 800 UZ camera to take on safari later this year.

I think you raise a good point that I did not go into thoroughly enough - concerning the doubling and halving of light. I will either update this article or create a bridge article between it and the aperture article in the near future. Thanks again. @Clive – Thanks for the comment.

I was trained in the old school of photography qualified in 1966 and I am sure it would be interesting to your readers that the shutter speed when adjusted from 1/125 to 1/250th it is letting in half as much light,and the f number lets in half or double the amount of light and the corresponding depth of field so as to make your background out of focus.I would like to submit a photograph to you that I took last year at a South African Air Force Museum flying day. The Silver Falcons the air forces aerobatic team. 4 aircraft trailing smoke are in formation and the remaining a/c comes from the opposite direction flips onto his side as he passes the other four,the impression given is that he flown between them, on closer inspection of the photo he is on the outside the trailing smoke from the outside a/c is in front of the wing.The the camera Nikon D5000 lens Nikkor 50 to 200mm zoom using auto focus and the VR ISO-250 f/7-1 focal length 135mm shutter speed 1/500. If I had used a faster shutter speed I could have frozen all the images thus negating the impression of the dangerous manouver. I followed the group of 4 and and snapped it as the other a/c came past it has movement and slightly fussy. We are having beautiful sunsets this year can you give me some explanation why? the faster the shutter speed the redder the sky and less of the other colors.Is there some quirk in the visible light spectrum that digital cameras are moving towards the infrared zone. regards Clive Lardner-Burke Hi, Thank you for a very interesting discussion on shutter and aperture.
