~Shutter Speed is the amount of time the shutter is open

~In the camera, the shutter is open and closing in any setting to capture an image. In a picture, a slower shutter speed creates a blur effect while a faster shutter speed captures the image quickly. (For example, a faster shutter speed is better if photographing sports.) It also controls the amount of light so also could make a picture more or less bright.

~In the "Exposure Triangle," shutter speed is the tool which captures movement easiest. It controls the amount of time the light gets through the aperture and ISO settings.
