->> hello,
My boss just gave me permission to make some high-speed-recordings of a SLR after work. Just for my blog.
The question is, what to do?
Off course, I'll make the standard stuff:
- Shutter release in single, burst and silent mode (canon 1D)
- Flash on first and second curtain
- The closing leafs of an aperture
But what else?
- Use of external flash triggered bij Canon 7D
- high speed flash
- ....
Do you have any suggestions? |

->> Since some people seem to be confused... is this the situation:
You have access to a high speed SLR camera? Like a Phantom?

You want to shoot footage of how a DSLR works, then slow it down so you can see how cool the little things like the mirror flipping are? |

->> I have acces to over 20 high-speed-camera's. But a little bit faster than the one you subscribe. The fastest we have is 100.000 frames per second, but the resolution is 64x64 pixels. I want to shoot footage with the high speed camera and show the process of things that happen with a SLR camera.
I've experimented with one today:

Discoverd a small hair between the back of the mirror and the curtain. It's in the upper right corner.
The image quality of this recording is not so great. I know I can do better. I will do better next time I find the time for it. But setting everything up was taken me 2 hours and I was getting tired and wanted to go home.
Lighting the thing was a bit hard, because you have to light directley in the deep hart of the camera without to much shades of the sides.
The recording was made wit a Redged 100K with a Nikor 105 f/2.0 lens at 2000 frames per second.
Hope I explained it a little bit better |

->> Nice!
Does the shutter just cock back up to the top between frames? What shutter speed was the 10fps one?
The high speed sync would be cool too - I've heard that speedlights fire multiple pops as the shutter travels across the frame/sensor; that'd be pretty cool to see. |

->> Those were a great start.
The first really illustrates the benefit of using mirror lockup for long exposures. |

->> In 10fps-mode: http://vimeo.com/18541470 the shutter speed was 1/2000.
I think Canon can speed it up bij moving the curtains from down to up. Instead of going downwards. That way they could move the shutters even when the mirror isn't stable. I don't know if there is anything happening in the time that the mirror is up and the shutter is still closed, but in my opinion, it could be less.
I'm now gathering ideas of things to do. The pitty is that it takes quite a lot of time to make these movies. I spend two hours for the two movies so far. Getting it sharp was a pain in the ... And I think the image quality qould be better (Next time I think I use another type of camera)
I did this last friday. But next friday soccer season starts again (after the winterbreak) and soccer is more important than playing around with high speeds. Mayby I can do this on a saturday. |
