- This is the recording of a free Leica Akademie Australia webinar by Nick Rains, broadcast on July 7 2021. It is the second of a series of regular webinars which aim to examine one specific aspect of the photographic process, mostly from the point of view of a beginner. It's not dumbed down, but neither is it too technical.
This webinar was about Shutter Speeds - how different settings affect the 'look' of an image and some advice on choosing the right one.
Future webinars will be on the first Wednesday of each month at 7.30pm AEST (Sydney/Melbourne). You can see what is coming up here:

Excellent presentation .I`ve been photographing for over 50 years but we all get into bad habits .
Your series is excellent! as an "new" amateur photographer, your videos have taught me so much.
Glad you like them!
Fantastic….as usual.
Leica is lucky to have you and so too are Leica photographers!

Happy to help!
Shutter speed is very essential and Nick has well explained this concept. Well done and thank you.
Thanks a lot!
Hello Nick, I am really grateful to have found the Leica Camera Australia channel ! I enjoyed "Take better Photos 1 + 2" ! Great job ! You explain very well.

Great series, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Nicely done. Look forward to your next talk. For now, I will give myself a passing grade if I can get a score of 50% using my vintage Tele-Elmar 135 mm f/4 lens on M240 with the help of the EVF2.
Excellent explaint gona try with my Q3 thx a lot
Glad it helped
22:39 love that one, great shot
Leica CL with the amazing little 55-135mm zoom.
Very much enjoyed this, and your other videos! Thanks! One quibble, could you label the lens you used for these? Your Sugarloaf photo was beautiful and I'd have liked to know what you used to capture it. Thanks!
Hi Malik. That was taken on a Leica S(007) with the 28mm lens.
@@LeicaCameraAustralia Thank you!
With a Q2 used for street photography presumably it makes sense to keep the shutter speed at 125 except for something special. Is that a good idea
1/125 sec is too slow to freeze close movement. I'd recommend using 1/500 sec instead. 1/125 will certainly give you a sharp photo of a static subject from a hand-holding point of view, but is not high enough to deal with subject movement.
Please can you tell me how to restore to factor settings
30:04 Beautiful. I'd like to see that in black and white.
Hello Nick. I, too, shoot w an SL2. Mostly for studio portraiture. However, I've started taking it out on some doc work I'm doing. Two questions: 1) Why does the viewfinder show everything blown out until I compress the shutter button 1/2 way? I've gone back/forth changing P-S-A-M to P-S-A w similar results (I read changing these settings changes the viewfinder). 2) What's the trick to nailing focus w the tracking mode? I'm having one heck of a time. My Team Sports setting is -1, +1, +2 (in that order). Not a question ... but for a while I was getting frustrated w the buffer. I'm finally managing burst rates so the buffer doesn't hang up so quickly (and using the fastest cards on the market at the moment....Sony Tough SD cards). I hope the next firmware update addresses back button focus/back button lock. Man that would make for a better shoot day.
Hi Mathew. Hard to answer those questions at a distance, and there are a lot of variables you do not mention like what you are photographing, what lenses etc.
1. My SL2, nor my SL2-S, does not do what you describe, I cannot make it show an overly bright image in the viewfinder before I half press the shutter. I can do the opposite, an exposure preview after half pressing the shutter button if some plus exp. comp. is set (and Enhanced LV is ON), but not what you describe. Are you in M or A?
2. Tracking is tricky, a lot depends on what you are tracking and what its movement type is. Tracking mode seems to work best on the SL2 for more side to side movement. For front to back movement try normal AFc and Zone focussing. For portraits, face detect works well for heads and eyes.
Lastly, the joystick button can be customised to act in many different ways based on your AF mode. I always use Manual focus mode and focus by pressing the joystick to trigger AF.
@@LeicaCameraAustralia Thank you, Nick. I'll play around w the viewfinder some more. I shoot w SL lenses (35, 50, 90, 16-35, 24-90). Sometimes I will use an M lens because of the contrast it creates. I'm spoiled; I admit that. I really appreciate your response and I enjoy watching your videos. I can appreciate how time-consuming it is to plan, record, and edit them. Cheers!
