If you happen to begin to use longer lenses, then use the reciprocal rule with a view to do away with any digicam shake: be certain that the shutter velocity is a minimum of as speedy because the reciprocal of the focal duration you\u2019re the usage of (i.e. one divided via that quantity).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rule 5.
