This should help:



The rule for stable image quality is: use a shutter speed faster than the focal length of the lens. On zoom lenses, set the speed for the maximum focal length (200mm for an 80~200mm zoom, 35mm for a 17~35mm zoom). For simplicity, I’ll give whole-stop examples. Third stops could be an obvious choice for those using professional cameras with digital fractional settings. Use the rule above to find the correct third stop for the lens focal length.

35mm = 1/60
100mm = 1/125
200mm = 1/250
300mm = 1/500
600mm = 1/1000
