How does the film relate to the shutter speed?

In: Cameras [Edit categories]

Answer:

Film speed and 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.
