Q: How to freeze motion and get rid of blurred images? A: What you'll need is a fast shutter speed, here's how to achieve it. 1. Your camera will need light. If indoors, turn lights on & open shades/curtains, or go outside if it's daytime. 2. Put your camera in Shutter priority (usually marked 'S' or 'Tv' mode) and set the shutter speed to something like 1/300th of a second for children/pets or 1/1000th for moving vehicles. 3. If you are unable to set the camera to these speeds, there probably isn't enough light. One solution is to raise your ISO which is the sensor's sensitivity to light. Try setting it to 400 or 800 and see if that freezes the action. Caution: setting the ISO too high will start to introduce noise or grain into your pictures. Some cameras have an Auto ISO feature which can automatically raise the ISO for you when needed, others have a special mode for freezing motion called 'Sports' which may look like a runner figure sprinting off the starting line.
Experiment and see how sharp you can make your own photos of your kids, pets or even airshows & race cars.
