High Speed Camera

High Speed Camera

The actual technology behind high-speed photography and cameras is quite amazing. A normal everyday-Joe camera usually records at 30 or perhaps 60 frames per second (FPS), meaning that the shutter must activate 30-60 times every second. However with a high-speed camera, the shutter must move much faster to achieve speeds of over 1,000 frames per second: a fairly common frame rate for slow-motion videos.Cameras don’t stop just at 1,000 frames per second though, they can continue upwards into millions and millions of frames per second at lowered resolutions. In fact, the supposedly “fastest” high-speed camera in the world can record at 200,000,000 (200 million) frames per second, making “even the fastest moving objects look like they are standing still.” Of course the image quality from this camera would not be very good, even though it demanded a $457,000 price tag.On the more reasonable side of slow-motion cameras, the company Vision Research manufactures many different types, including the popular Phantom Flex camera. The Phantom Flex is used by many ad companies and film makers on their productions (such as the recent Sherlock Holmes sequel), and can record up to 2,570 frames per second at a Full HD 1080p resolution. That is around 105 times slower than real motion if played back at the movie standard 24 frames per second.
