Freezing a fast subject or deliberately blurring it both come down to shutter speed, and the right value depends on how fast the subject moves, how far away it is, and whether it crosses the frame or moves toward you. This calculator estimates the shutter speed needed to freeze a moving subject so its blur stays within an acceptable amount at your resolution. Enter the subject speed, its distance, your focal length, and sensor, and choose whether it moves across the frame or at an angle, since sideways motion blurs far more than motion toward the camera. It returns the shutter speed to freeze the action and a slower speed for a pleasing motion blur or panning shot. This helps with sports, wildlife, cars, and running water. Every calculation runs in your browser with nothing sent to a server.
