Low light.

Shooting at low light levels can be impressive but you can run into a few problems that you might have not considered beforehand. Typically when shooting hand-held your shutter speed can’t be allowed to drop below 1/60th of a sec, unless you’re in a situation where you can burn off a number of shots in the hope that you’ve held the camera steady enough in at least one photograph to be acceptable.



Slower shutter speeds are possible and you will happily shoot all the way down to 1/30th of a second without any camera shake blurring your shots.

However, subjects’ movement became an issue and you might have to override, switching to AV mode to ensure a slightly quicker shutter speed.
