That is the value of the fastest shutterspeed in any 35mm format DSLR camera. It is one of the few settings ever done by any professional, amateur, and enthusiasts alike for photography.
1/8000sec
Today, I learn something new. I’ve been shooting with manual mode on my DSLR camera. Never tried shooting with Shutter or Aperture priority before till now. I’ve never given any tips on using those two extra priority modes. Only managed to understand how it actually works but never tried on implying to shooting anything with that mode on.
I browsed through a photographer’s website, Manuel Libres Librodo Jr. == www.pbase.com/manny_librodo…
Browse through his photos, and he provided access to view the full camera settings information called the EXIF. I was intrigued by his techniques of capturing moments of portraiture and landscapes. I never have thought of anyone would use Aperture priority mode for portraiture outdoors before. No one even my mentors ever mentioned it.
At first, I tried to set the mode on Aperture priority on my camera up to 1/8000s but to no avail. Not be able to get while at low light. The camera had to be pointed in bright sunny day, then the camera will sense the exposure is at its brightest which will automatically set the camera to the highest shutter speed. It was a cloudy day in KL, and my camera could only set to 1/3200sec. When further studying the Mr. Manuel’s EXIF information, he provided an exposure bias value. That gives me a thought which made sense in order to increase the value of the shutter speed is to adjust the exposure bias value.
And it works. The result was priceless.
