YSTV almost always uses a shutter speed of 50 per second. Any slower and things appear to move indistinctly, any faster and you reduce the amount of light.

* You're filming something that moves ''really'' fast and want the footage to blur less. If the view is still light enough after increasing the speed, go for it. | * You're filming something that moves ''really'' fast and want the footage to blur less.

* To stop on-screen monitors flickering, increase the shutter speed to 60.

The iris is a physical barrier inside the camera which can be opened or closed (by internal motors) to limit the amount of light entering the camera, in the same way as the iris of an eye does. Closing or opening the iris doesn't have any (significant) effects on the image recorded by the camera. (Having it more open will reduce the 'depth of field' of the camera, but this isn't something that needs to be known.) | The iris is a physical barrier inside the camera which can be opened or closed (by internal motors) to limit the amount of light entering the camera, in the same way as the iris of an eye does.
