TECH SUPPORT Blur Buster Q. To avoid blur when shooting handheld, a rule states that the shutter speed should match the reciprocal of the lens’s focal length (e.g., 1/200 sec with a 200mm lens). When using this lens with an APS-C sensor with a 1.5X lens factor, would the correct shutter speed be 1/300 sec? A. Yes. The reciprocal rule—we’ll call it a guideline—is valid only for the full-frame format, or equivalents. To use an extreme example, a normal focal length on a small digital compact is typically around 9mm. Your safe speed at that setting wouldn’t be 1/9 sec, but its full-frame equivalent, 1/50 sec. We demote this to a guideline because there are many other factors in getting unblurred shots: Your own hand steadiness, ergonomics of the camera, effectiveness of image stabilization (if present), movement of the subject, and so on.
