With a not very steady hand use 1/125 or, better still, 1/250 second . With moving subjects: Use short exposure times to avoid movement blur. As a general guide:
q
Motor races, tennis - 1/500 second. Horse races, cross country runners 1/500 second. Running children and cyclists -1/250 to 1/125 second. Walking figures, standing people-1/125 to 1/60 second.

In general: Movement at close range and across the viewing direction needs faster shutter speeds, movement from greater distances and approaching or receding from the camera allows slower shutter speeds. Longtime exposures The "B" setting on the shutter speed dial provides time exposures of any required length. Keep the release button depressed for the required exposure time. The shutter closes when you let go again. With longtime exposures you can also take shots in very poor light which is too weak for an exposure meter reading. As a special case, if you arrive at the "B" setting by lining up the matching pointer 17, the correct exposure time is 1 second (double the next exposure setting).
