    Q3 is deffo C.

    I'm a photographer and the slower the shutter speed the more motion blur it creates. The other settings are fractions of a second ie; 1/1000th of a second would freeze motion like a ball in the air, whereas 1.5 seconds is really slow and would capture running water making it look silky smooth. Hope that explains it a bit :)
    :jPlaying is fun...winning is a bonus :j
