5/6/2023 0 Comments Right zoom for d200 nikon![]() If you have a zoom lens such as the 18-135mm (for Nikon DX sensors), set the “Minimum Shutter Speed” to the longest focal range of the lens (135mm), which is 1/200 of a second. ![]() For Nikon cameras with a 1.5x crop factor, just multiply the result by 1.5, whereas for Canon cameras, multiply by 1.6. Keep in mind that this rule applied to 35mm film and digital cameras, so if you own an entry-level DSLR or mirrorless camera with a crop factor (not full frame), you need to do the math accordingly. For example, if you have your lens zoomed at 125mm, your shutter speed should be at least 1/125 of a second. ![]() If you have a zoom lens that goes beyond 100mm, I would recommend applying the general hand-holding “rule”, which states that the shutter speed should be equivalent to the focal length set on the lens, or faster. I suggest reading my article on understanding ISO. The higher the ISO (sensor sensitivity), the more noise you will see in the image. Remember that the camera base ISO will produce the highest quality images with maximum sharpness. Start with setting your camera to the lowest ISO “base” value (in my Nikon camera it is ISO 200). There are a few other causes of blurry photos, too, which I will cover below. In order to resolve these issues, you need to address them all at the same time, which will help achieve optimal sharpness. Your ISO could be set to a very high number, resulting in lots of noise and loss of detail.You might have a bad lens or a lens that is not capable of producing sharp photos.Poor focus acquisition would result in a soft image.Your subject could be moving and causing motion blur, made worse by a long shutter speed.A long shutter speed can capture camera shake, which would produce a blurry image. ![]() Let’s start with the reasons why an image might come out blurry: So, in this article, I will go through the techniques I use to make sure that my images always come out tack sharp. It is very disappointing when you take a picture of a special moment and images come out soft/blurry or out of focus. Sharp photos are much more appealing than soft images. One of the things that makes photography frustrating is softness and blur in pictures. An example of a very sharp photograph of Zabriskie Point, Death Valley NP ![]()
