How is this different from shutter speed (Q349600)? I propose we merge the two items. The-erinaceous-one (talk) 06:28, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nw520:, I see that you removed that statement that exposure time (Q815600)said to be the same as (P460)shutter speed (Q349600). Can you clarify the difference between the two? The terms are used synonymously and descriptions of the two items are nearly identical. — The Erinaceous One 🦔 09:54, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @The-erinaceous-one:, German Wikipedia makes quite a strict distinction by defining shutter speed/Verschlusszeit as the duration the shutter of a camera is closed. In contrast, exposure time/Belichtungszeit is the duration a film or sensor is exposed to light. Although shutter speed directly correlates to exposure time and both terms are usually used interchangeably by photographers for meaning exposure time, the underlying concepts are disjunct. However, shutter speed (Q349600)'s labels in languages except for German and English are a conflation of both concepts (e.g. Durée d'exposition, temps de pose, Expoziční čas,… would actually belong to exposure time (Q815600)). --Nw520 (talk) 12:58, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
