Shutter Control
Shutter Control
To what extent does shutter speed control impact on an image?
Explain your answer.
@Photon – explain further?
It does effect exposure. But I don’t think that really has to do with the impact so much.
I think what you are looking for is how altering shutter speed can make an image more dynamic.
You can use a slow shutter speed to make waves dream-like and creamy, You can also do the same with waterfalls and fountains. You can also use a slow shutter speed to get motion blur which shows movement.
You can use a fast shutter speed to freeze motion. So you can catch an athlete in mid-stride and have the person entirely in sharp focus. You can catch a hummingbird with wings in sharp focus.
And with panning and using a slow shutter speed you can track your subject so that they are in relatively sharp focus but the background is a total blur.
Each of these uses of shutter speed makes a different impact and gives a different impression of movement in an image.
Shutter Control
Components of a Shutter
As shutters are probably going to new to you, here is the correct terminology for the components of a shutter.
Shutter Stiles
The sides of the shutters are called “Stiles”. The inner sides of these stiles are rebated (cut out) so they interlock with the next shutter when bi-folded together. This helps reduce the light coming into the room. The side-edge of the shutters that fits into and against the side-frame is flat. The light here is reduced due to the use of the frame in which the shutters are fitted.
Shutter stiles can also be made wider, which adds strength. If you are ordering some of our hidden rod shutters they come with a slighter wider side stile, so you may want to order any other shutters you have in your home with the same size stile to match.
Tension Screws
Located at the end of a small in the sides of the stiles are “Tension Screws”, these allow you to adjust the tension of the louvre blades, making them tighter or looser depending on your preference. Please be careful when adjusting this screw as over tightening will break the tread and this mechanism will not long work effectively.
Shutter Rails
The top and bottom sections of the shutter are called “Rails” these are jointed into the stiles to create a frame. These rails are adjusted in width depending on the overall height of your shutter. Where measuring over 1800mm, extra rails are fixed within the height of the shutter, to provide extra strength to the shutter. These are known as “Mid Rails” and are best lined-up with a feature on your window i.e. transom bar on UPVQ or door handles etc.
Louvre Blades
“Louvre blades” (known in USA as ‘louvers’) are fitted from top to bottom inside the frame created by the stiles and rails. Some companies refer to them as Slats. These allow you to adjust the amount of light coming into the room by tilting them up or down by using a “Control Rod”. The control rod connects all the louvre blades together using Stainless Steel staples. You can get 3 different sizes of louvre blades, small (47mm), medium (64mm) and large (89mm). We are also able to offer a 114mm louvre, but this is more popular in the USA. Each louvre size provides a different look and let differing amounts of light into the room.
Control Rod
The control rod is the wooden rod that runs down the centre of the louvres within the shutter and allows you to adjust the position of the louvre blades, and therefore the amount of light entering your room. When all the louvre blades are closed the control rod sits in a small hole in the top rail of the shutter, known as a ‘Mouse hole’. This allows all the louvre blades to fold flat when fully closed.
The hidden control rod option will obviously not have a control rod. With this option you simply more one of the louvers with your fingers and they will magical move in unison.
Shutter Frame
The outer shutter frame is shaped like an “L” and has a “removable insert” around the outer edge that can be removed to reveal pre-drilled holes for fixing. Such frames come mitred at the corners, like a picture frame ready to be connected together by “interlocking plastic keys”. The frame has the outer part of the “hinge” fitted on the side to make assembly very easy. The back edge of the frame houses strong, round “barrel magnets” which keep the shutters closed within their frame.
Panel Feet
Fitted underneath the shutter panels, up into the ends of the stiles, are small “panel feet” which create an even gap between the shutters and the frame when fitted. These help support the shutter when closed, as the weight of the shutter will rest on the bottom of the frame.

Is it possible to control shutter speed on a Sony CyberShot W290?
I am trying to photograph a moving object against a fixed background so that the moving object is blurred. If there is no concrete way to control the shutter speed, is there a way I can somehow “trick” the camera into using a slower shutter speed (maybe through adjusting aperture, exposure, or ISO sensitivity)?
Short answer to controlling shutter speed – no.
Yes you can trick the camera but you’ll need a tripod, your 10-second shutter delay and low light to do it.
If you can set the ISO do it at 100, the lowest. Then use lower light, the tripod and the 10-second.
(the 10-second delay is because even the movement of you pressing the shutter release will cause blur). If you’re object is say on a string that will swing back and forth just shoot it again and again.
The camera should try to compensate for the lower light and ISO by keeping the shutter open longer.
I say it should… I don’t really know on compact cameras since I don’t use them but it should work.
Hey just try it. If you shoot off 50-frames and get that one you’re successful.
