"Shutter Angle" refers to rotary shutters used in motion picture cameras, a lower shutter angle (in degrees) means less light is allowed to expose the film and less motion blur is captured, higher angle and more light is let and more motion blur appear on flim. 180 degrees or 1/48th of a second (at 24 fps) is considered normal. The shutter angle is controlled by the shape of the rotary shutter, some cameras allow you to change the shape of the shutter or swap out for different shape shutters. Some newer or high-end cameras allow you to change the shape of the shutter while still in-camera. Your question was filed under Photography, so possibly you mean "shutter speed" if your camera allows for manual control of the shutter speed it will be in 1/Nth of a second increments. A shutter speed of 1/125th of a second was taught to me as a good shutter speed to start at for medium focal lengths for a beginning shooter - to avoid blurry pictures. Also, if you're trying to freeze water in motion, birds in flight or people in motion, a high shutter speed will work well. Above 1/500th or 1/1000th of second if your camera is capable will create the desired effect. To answer effectively we probably need to know the model of camera you are using, and the purpose, happy shooting!

What part of the camera provides the selection of shutter speeds?
If the camera has a "shutter priority mode", usually called "S mode", then the shutter speed is controlled directly by the user when the camera is in this mode, by moving a dial or pressing a button (or both). If the camera has a "manual" mode, usually called "M mode", then the shutter speed and aperture are both controlled directly by the user by moving dials or pressing buttons (or both). Some cameras have automatic modes which allow the user to control the minimum and maximum shutter speeds that will be selected by the camera when considering all other factors. If the minimum shutter speed is reached, the camera will increase the ISO or aperture size to compensate for under-exposure. If the maximum shutter speed is reached, the camera will decrease the ISO or aperture size to compensate for over-exposure.
What is a brief description of the camera?
Answer 1A very brief and very over-simplified description is that a camera is: 1. a "box"2. with a light sensitive media [film or electronic light sensing grid] at the back side,3. with an opening [lens or pin hole] at the front to admit light from a subject and to form an image on the media,4. and a method [a diaphragm to control the intensity of the light, and a shutter to control the length of time the light is allow to strike the media] of controlling the amount of light getting to the media.
How does the film relate to the shutter speed?
The slower the film -- that is, the lower the ISO rating -- the longer the shutter must stay open at a particular aperture (F-stop). In low light with slow film, the shutter may have to stay open too long for the camera to be hand-held without noticeable camera shake, even with cameras with optical image stabilization.
What is exposure in a digital camera?
Exposure is the combination of shutter speed and aperture used to expose the image sensor in a digital camera. When the image sensor receives the right amount of light, your picture comes out correctly exposed. The camera's light meter determines how big to open the aperture (the hole to allow light in) and for how long (the shutter speed). If the image sensor receives less light than it requires, your picture comes out under-exposed. If the image sensor receives more light than it requires, your picture comes out over-exposed.
How important is it for your digital camera to have manual exposure settings?
A camera with manual aperture and shutter speed settings allow for greater creative flexibility in your photography, as you can photograph in various light settings and create aperture and shutter settings typically not set by an automatic camera.Digital camera images also have less latitude and are more likely to lose detail if you don�t have the correct exposure setting. [Latitude is how forgiving the camera is before your exposure shows imperfections, like washed out areas].(For example, darker areas will �drop-out� easier and lighter areas will appear washed-out.)Manual exposure settings to consider include aperture, shutter speed and exposure compensation. [Aperture is the device in the lens that allows more or less light. Shutter speed is a measurement of how long the shutter is open when a picture is taken.Exposure compensation allows you to manually adjust the automatic setting up or down.](For example, you are taking a photo of someone in front of a light window and the person becomes a silhouette. You �compensate� by manually letting in more light, which will reduce the silhouette effect.)Over-riding the automatic pre-set camera settings is sometimes necessary just to be able get a picture at all.(For example, photographs taken of ballroom dancers at night in a hall lit by flourescant lights with a compact digital camera set to 'Automatic' will always be blurred and have a color cast, but by going to Manual exposure with light-type adjustment and setting the exposure speed higher to avoid blur results in a dark photo that becomes reasonable after lightening it in a noise-reduction program on you computer.)How important manual settings are depends on how 'serious' you are about using, and learning to control your camera. If you just want to point and shoot you don't need extra controls, just the usual automatic settings. If you're interested in photography as a hobby and want to take more control of your pictures, then manual controls are really useful. (I'm not saying you can't take great pictures with auto cameras, just that you will have more options with manual options.)

How can use The Shutter Angle in Video?
Shutter Angle refers to the length of time film is exposed in a motion picture camera, based on the shape of the rotary shutter. 180 degrees is considered normal (when shooting at 24 frames per second). This means the film is exposed for 180 degrees or half of the rotation of the shutter or 1/48th of a second. The primary purpose of changing your shutter speed is controlling how much motion blur is captured. The slower the shutter (the larger the shutter angle), the more motion blur. In some video cameras you can crank your shutter speed higher to create a stop-motion effect or slow your shutter to 1/30th or 1/24th and create a blurring effect for specific shots. I have also heard of people using a slower shutter because it looks more "filmic" this is a matter of taste. All video cameras (to my knowledge) that allow for manual control of the shutter speed give these controls in 1/Nths of a second (1/48th, 1/60th). If you are shooting with a conventional video camera in the United States or another NTSC country your typical shutter will be 1/60th, meaning each frame was captured over 1/60th of a second. For Europe and Asia, along with most of Africa, South America, Australia your shutter will be 1/50th. Some newer digital video cameras targeted towards digital cinema allow you to display your shutter speed in degrees, as if you were controlling shutter angle (Panasonic AG-HVX200 as an example). Also they allow you shoot at 24 frames per second and to use shutter speeds that fit closer with that frame-rate, like 1/24th, 1/48th.
What is a disadvantage of a programmable camera?
You mean a "program" camera? There are three forms of automatic exposure: aperture-priority (usually marked "Av" - aperture value - on the camera's control knob), shutter priority (usually marked "Tv" - time value) and program. When you use aperture priority you set the f/stop and the camera picks the shutter speed to give the proper exposure. In shutter priority you pick the shutter speed and the camera picks the f/stop. In program mode the camera picks both.The disadvantage of program exposure is it takes control of the image out of the hands of the photographer.The advantage - and there is a huge one - is it lets the photographer worry about composing the picture without worrying about setting the camera. I know newspaper photographers. When they go to a fire or a crime scene, they hang the fastest lens they have on their cameras, set them to "high speed program" and go shoot. This gets them the most usable images and leaves them free to worry about more important things, like not getting run over by a fire engine.
What is an iris shutter in a camera?
Most companies call these shutters "leaf shutters." It's a shutter that's built into the camera lens. It has two advantages and three disadvantages over a focal plane shutter.The advantages are every shutter speed is a flash sync speed, and every lens contains a shutter of its own so if the shutter on your 80mm lens breaks you can mount your 150mm lens and finish the job. The disadvantages are slower shutter speeds than focal plane shutters will give (Hasselblad 500-series cameras go to 1/500 second and Hasselblad H-series go to 1/800; my Nikon F4 goes to 1/8000), having the shutter in the lens means you have to buy a new shutter with every lens and they are NOT cheap; and at the same shutter speed a focal plane shutter will allow more light to pass, so if you have a handheld meter you have to adjust your exposure to accommodate this.

Why was the digital camera a success?
The best feature of the digital camera is that you can view images instantly. They are also easier to use and you have more of a control over the film camera.
What did fairchild invent?
An American businessman, investor and inventor, Sherman Mills Fairchild made significant contributions to the aviation industry. He held over 30 patents including inventing the first synchronized camera shutter.
Slowest shutter speed before using a tripod?
The general rule from the film days was 1 over the focal length as the shutter speed. thus a 28mm lens the lowest handheld would be 1/30 and for a 400mm 1/500. shake reduction schemes may offer a stop or two benefit.

In low light with slow film, the shutter may have to stay open too long for the camera to be hand-held without noticeable camera shake, even with cameras with optical image stabilization.
What does the program mode do on your digital camera?
It is bassically a kind of Auto mode but with some kind of flexibility and control over the settings. Here in this mode you can set certain settings like the colour mode, flash settings, exposure, ISO, etc. But the aperture settings and the shutter speed will be automatically taken by the camera. That's it. It's easier for amateurs to use the P (Program) mode than the M (Manual) mode to click with a little manual settings.
How do you turn off the web cam's blue LED light?
In most cases you do not have control over the light. It is a warning and reminder that the camera is on.
