Shutter speed to freeze motion.

What is the rule of thumb for choosing shutter speed for Minox 8x11 camera or Minox 35 camera to freeze motion ?

g<h1> SHUTTER SPEED TO FREEZE MOVEMENT IN MINOX PHOTOGRAPHY</h1><p> Minox 35mm series camera is an aperture priority system, you set the

aperture first (base on film speed, requirement of depth of field ) and the system selects the proper shutter speed.<p> But in sport photography, the objects are moving, in order to avoid blurred picture, you must select sufficient high shutter speed.<p> One simple way to gage the speed of object is view through the view finder

of you Minox (be it Minox 35ML or Minox GT-E etc ) held horizontally, check to see how many seconds it takes for a car, or other object to move

across the viewfinder frame. <p> According to my calculation, the rule of thumb for Minox 35mm is: "two sec frame at 1/500 sec" ie if it takes two seconds for an object to pass through viewfinder then the shutter speed should be 1/500 sec. If it takes 10 sec, then a shutter speed of

1/100 sec is sufficient to freeze motion. <p> For Minox subminiature cameras which have higher shutter speed( except EC/ECX ) the rule of

thumb is "1 second frame for 1/1000 " <p> The rule for Minox EC/ECX is same as for Minox 35mm series.
