Here are some guidelines for the recommended shutter speeds when photographing train formations.
Please use the calculation results at your own risk.

The distance from the front of the train is assumed to be between 10 and several hundred meters.
This does not support shots taken directly from the front (such as at a 0-degree out-curve angle).

Speed

km/hThis is the train's speed.

Distance Traveled

mmThis is the actual distance the train travels sideways while the shutter is open.
As a general guideline, use 10 mm for a full-frame 24-megapixel camera and 15 mm for an APS-C 24-megapixel camera.

Angle

°This is the angle between the train’s direction of travel and the camera’s orientation.
Values are expected to range from 0 to 90°.

Margin

You can use a calculation result even if the value is 1,
but if you are particularly concerned about train blur, please enter a value greater than 1.
If the ISO sensitivity is high and there is a lot of noise, you can also use a value less than 1.
However, please be aware that setting the value too low will cause the train to appear blurry.

1/	secondsSince shutter speed is generally displayed as 1/x seconds, I have formatted the notation accordingly. Please set the actual shutter speed to a faster speed than the result shown here.
