Camera shake and lp/mm
Is there a formula for relating shutter speed, maybe focal length, and
reduction in resolution in lp/mm for typical camera shake? I would be most grateful. Thanks |

Camera shake and lp/mm
Is there a formula for relating shutter speed, maybe focal length, and
reduction in resolution in lp/mm for typical camera shake? You can work this out by figuring the image motion in radians per second one might get. Just use a laser pointer against a piece of color RC paper posted on a wall in a dark room. Process the paper and measure the movement. Do test for 1, 2 and 4 seconds. Now all you need to do is use a number generator against the movement. Final results will be in chance per 10 images. So say at 100th of a second with a 100 mm lens you have 3 chances out of ten for no motion. At 1000th of a second it's 10 out of ten. At a 10th it might be 1 out of 10 meaning you must take 10 images to get one with little or no motion. Larry |

He attributed camera shake as THE single factor most likely to contribute to blurring of the image. I believe that he wrote that it could be as much as a 40% loss of sharpness, versus 2% for using a good filter, as a comparison. I was really impressed by that statement--to the point that I began using a tripod for virtually all of my shots--even those taken with my 2.3 MP digicam. The improvement was astounding. I did not realize how much of an effect a good tripod had on the image quality. It makes little sense to invest in fine equipment and lenses, only to compromise their ability to produce excellent images by failing to use a rock-solid tripod, in my opinion. The tripod, and lenshood, have done more to improve my lens' sharpness than anything else I could have done. And it didn't require any formal lens testing to confirm that--the difference was clearly visible just by looking at the prints. |
