16. Shooting at Shutter
Speeds
Slower Than
1/60
Sec.
With
a standard
50
mm lens
on
your
AE-1
PRO-
GRAM, a shutter speed
of
1/
30
second or
slower
is
liable
to
result
in
blurred pictures
because
of
camera movement when you are
hand
holding the camera. Instead
of
using such
slow shutter speeds, it
is
better to raise the
shutter speed,
if
possible, add light or use a
flash.
If you cannot do any
of
these things, mount the
camera on a sturdy tripod and use a
cable
release.
Attach the camera to the tripod via the
tripod socket. A
cable release
is
an
accessory
which screws into a socket
in
the shutter button
and
allows you to release the shutter
without
touching the camera.

With
a wide-angle (less than
50
mm) lens, it
may
be
possible
to
use shutter speeds slightly
slower
than 1/
60
second
for
handheld shooting.
With
a telephoto (more than 55 mm) lens, even
faster shutter speeds
are
necessary
to
prevent
blurring.
Note
Canon offers
an
optional accessory called Tripod
Adapter
A.
If the tripod head is quite large, it may
be
helpful to place this accessory between the camera
and
the head. Otherwise,
it
may be
difficult
to
turn
the focusing and aperture rings. This accessory
also
prevents damage
to
the camera when the tripod
screw
is
too long
for
the camera's tripod socket.
