High Speed video of Canon DSLR Shutter - Smarter Every Day 40

[fffffffffffffffuuu]

i like how you sneaked in the copy rights reserved

[freakypillow]

Now I understand how SLR's work! The application of science can be so fun and revealing some times :) Thanks for posting!

[MrDistancenow]

Umm..... Around 35.62ms from start of opening to full close,

and around 31.52ms full exposure to full close. Close?

[AandKCarrigan]

I've been wanting to see this type of video for some time now, thanks

[Desterado]

What's the red paint on your camera?

[destinws2]

@Desterado

Red Paint........ Watch the "high speed video of balloons...." video

[reubensugars]

if there was a smarter everyday video everyday, i would be so smart :D

[grettiron]

Why a mirror? Why does the shutter open to the bottom but close from the top? Was it heavy squats that busted your eye?

[OdinLorden]

@grettiron the mirror is there so you can look through the lens before you make the picture to see what you are actually photographing. the shutter opens on the bottom en closes from the top because than the light-sensor gets equally devided exposure of light.

[DarkGangMaster1]

Congrats on the baby!

Nice video by the way.

[kwazmokid]

this goes to show why a real nice cannon will cost you big money

[TheSolarShed]

I got 1/30th of a second for the exposure.

[MrComplement]

@TheSolarShed I also got 1/30th.

[LameoldTrooper]

did it hurt when the blood vessel popped in your eye?

[gbird79]

@joemel2 if destin doesn't quite get to the topic, vsauce has a great video explaining rainbows. Congrats on the baby!

[destinws2]

@gbird79

Yeah, Michael did a good job with that video. I recomend it.

[joemel2]

@gbird79 thatnks, that was a great vid :)

[gbird79]

@joe,

[joemel2]

Could you make a video explaining why rainbows make the shape they do? I understand that the water refracts the light so you see the different spectrums of light,but why does it make a bow shape and not a straight line or all drops being all colours?

[killiancoakley]

@joemel2 watch?v=7k85eD_tQZo

[Royalllllll]

unreal

[Chainslol]

Still waiting for the high speed footage of the birth. Also MIT had their one trillion frames a second camera that could see light move beaten by some Germans with a laser camera. Though you of all people would want to know. Also Bananas.

[Adamantium9001]

The shutter opens at about +90.5 (top line of text at the top-left), and closes around +124.5. But those are milliseconds. 34ms can't possibly be right.

[secretsather]

The best part about this is the shutter drops out and then drops back in, so the upper part of the image is not more exposed than the rest. I guess you do learn something every day.

[kswsquared]

is the shutter speed at 1/30 roughly?

[alanlock007]

I see some mechanical thing going on but... what am I looking at?

After this video, rather than smarter, I feel a little dumb.

[dayneok7]

happy baby day, my wife and i expecting also! hazaaa!

[Josh4x4]

Congrats on the baby! I work for Apple and we have a huge number of photographers that work for us. Bet they have never seen how their instruments actually capture a photo!

[76ers]

Save yourself time and just start watching from 1:00

[TigersPrettyBunny]

A sub-conjunctival hemorrhage usually indicates unchecked high blood pressure. I'd get it checked out the be on the safe side. The higher the BP the larger the hemorrhage. We see it in the office a lot and have to send people to their PCP for testing.

[destinws2]

@TigersPrettyBunny

Thanks for the info! I recently did something particularly difficult. I believe it was the result of that.

[pkWreck]

@destinws2 I so hope the "particularly difficult" thing was a huge poop. That would make my week.

[Supermassively]

@destinws2 An extremely large bowel movement?

[mkerikat]

Congratulations on the baby! I've been watching your videos for a while now (I'm one of the viewers from Mexico) because... well, several reasons. :) My point is, congratulations on the baby and I learn something every day from your videos. Thanks!

[xVeRSeii]

What name was the baby given

[1990kurder]

Does all cameras take pictures like that?

[ZiaUrRehmanFarooqi]

Hello. I've been subscribed to your channel for some time now. You posted a video about lasers a while back. Well, I am studying optical comm and it has a lot to do with laser. Yesterday was the exam and just before the exam, I was showing off my knowledge about lasers and everyone was like o.O where did you get all that from... I referred them to your channel.

Interestingly though, about a week ago we studied SLR cameras, too.

I love your videos even if it has nothing to do with my curriculum.

[destinws2]

@ZiaUrRehmanFarooqi

Thanks for the feedback man. Where do you go to school?

[ZiaUrRehmanFarooqi]

@destinws2 Institute of Space Technology in Pakistan.

I am doing a bachelors in Communication Systems Engineering.

[ProtagonistNonTheist]

You should have a contest where the winner wins your high speed camera....That is so cool!

[FISKHEJSAN]

Cant u do a sensor cleaning in slomo? :D

[trick58]

Can you explain the timing? The timing is given in the upper left corner and if the total elapsed time is .213 s as you say, the counter really is counting in ms. What I don't understand is that the info says the exposure is 150 microsecs - I roughly see the detector for over 30 ms. What am I missing? (And FTR, I do ns time-resolved spectroscopy so I think about this kind of thing often - so I'm guessing the more general audience is as confused as I.) Thanks.

[destinws2]

@trick58

You're looking at the info for the high speed camera. It has an exposure time of 150usec. Everything else should be self explanatory except I deleted some of the video between mirror up and first shutter motion to keep the video short.

[MyN0ob]

1/5 or 1/10 ?

[altenburger]

Hey Destin, really nice and interesting video :)

What I want to know now: The shutter moves at the beginning to the bottom, but closes from the top. When you take the next picture, will this happen again (so the shutter goes round and round) or do they switch the roles, so the top one goes up first?

Thanks!

[thebing37]

GZ on your son, and gz on your eye!

[johanreinink]

I guess it's 32ms open, which corresponds to roughly 1/30 shutter speed. Right?

And greetings from a familiar place in the Netherlands here ;)

[jetpiston]

No high-speed of the birth?

But seriously, congratulations!

[antony9721]

oh and excellent job on becoming a father... trying to be different doesnt sound so good but basically congratulations on your baby, enjoy the fun times!

[antony9721]

incase anyone wants to know what colour that photo was it was white

[Th3Ag3nda]

Neat!



[NOLAMarathon2010]

The eye itself merits this video a "Like" with or without all the camera stuff!

[majestyy2k]

congrats on the new baby

[FlyingTinCan123]

Congrats on the new kid!

[seadranx]

Can we have the real time footage please? :O

[LongStreamofNumbers]

Congratulations sir!

[jcims]

Congrats on the little one! Hope you're able to take some time off with mom and the kiddos...

The beginning sequence reminds me of NASA footage. Interesting thing here is that it takes ~3ms for the shutter to transit the sensor. I wonder if a 1/500+ exposures start to close before they are the whole way open.

[destinws2]

@jcims Yes they do. It basically becomes just a slit traversing the sensor. Are you familiar with ballistically synchronized slit/streak photography? It's a very specialized method that is used for researching very fast objects moving in a line. Google Andrew Davidhazy. I've spoken to him before about his amazing work.

[TMLTrevor]

what was the high speed camera?

[joeysdonkeybutt]

Does it affect your vision?

[TheDrocadile]

way to open up your sensor to air particles and dust. REAAAAL smart.

[destinws2]

@TheDrocadile

I also plan to let my new son play with sticks......outside....without a helmet.

[TheDrocadile]

@destinws2 cheeky



[destinws2]

@TheDrocadile

Haha. All in fun.

[TheDrocadile]

@destinws2 Cheers :)

[mmaaxx1198]

@TheDrocadile Did you not notice that it was an old camera with a ton o' dings? No matter what the cost, everything can teach a priceless lesson if you have an open mind.

[Parstices]

@TheDrocadile LOL You got owned!

[TheDrocadile]

@Parstices Hey! Way to contribute to the conversation! Congratulations!

[AwesomeBlackDude]

@TheDrocadile a Powerful air can... CAN flush those nasty out if I'm remember this correctly.

[tackN2Wind]

1/30 second.

[RawfleCat]

Congrats :D

[PMcMonty]

Congrats on your new baby boy!!! What did you name him?

[CharlineLikesC]

How can you be so cool and still film a video before going to hospital?

My congratulations! Hope the baby does well and also the parents :)

Welcome to this world baby and you have to know, your Daddy is really smart and does cool videos!

[alawrence89]

I calculated ~ 32 ms which is close to 1/30 of a sec.

[nachol]

Fantastic!!! Thank you, I never thought there was so much "movement" when the shutter curtain shut close. To me, it was more like a very "stiff" thing.

Congratulations on (about? for? Sorry for my english) your baby boy!

[BJBlitzstein]

Did simple subtraction wrong. Closer to .0033 Going for one three-hundredths of a second.

[simpleyvic]

I definitely could've done without the background music. The topic behind the video was enough for me...

-.-

[photographe06]

Going for extra credit: exposure time of 1/30 sec.

[trahman79]

Thumbs up if you noticed the upside down laptop!

[destinws2]

@trahman79

It's easier to operate it this way when I'm kneeling. Human interface & ergonomics are relative, right?

[IIEUPHORIAII1]

congrats :)

[alexxrus]

i would love to see a 1/500 or 1/1000 on a 1Ds mk III or d3X

[MrsOneWattle]

It all looks so flimsy and I can't really believe that it all works so fast and as accurately as it does, I'm going to be too scared to even pick up my delicate camera now!

[plasmabhai]

A fav and a share for the new kid!!! Congrats Destin!! :D

[sarahmbrown82]

such a simple video yet so cool. i love your videos.

[Maqqx]

Awesome videos!

And congratulations on the little one. 

[ASoggySandal]

roughly 34ms exposure time and congratulations on the baby.

[x0xpinkipodx0x]

Congrats on the baby! What's his name?

[tehLeecherer]

so uhhhh how'd you burst a blood vessel?

[bradleyg5]

Damn, wish you would have done highspeed shooting.

[ChevyTBlover]

So wait, front curtain happens then rear curtain, Where did front curtain go?

Does the curtain go down, down.. then up, up, down, down, etc, etc? (each shot)

Great video and congrats on the baby boy!

Oh and did your eye hurt?

[samqui323]

A good way to answer the question about the shutter opening off the bottom and closing from the top, and an intersting addition to the shutter study would be to repeat the slow motion video with the still camera's shutter set at faster speed. This would also answer the question as to whether were two shutters.

[MrAwesomeUber]

guys im pretty sure this is fake... i think he used photoshop to mess with it

[ChevyTBlover]

@MrAwesomeUber Yeah, Photoshop, cause that's totally used for video instead of images...

[Hynee]

30ms = 1/30. I knew it had to be slower than the sync speed b/c the sensor was completely exposed. Could you do one faster than the sync speed?

[Neebio]

I really enjoyed this one Destin, very very cool! Also, congratulations!

[duotrapeze72]

shutter speed= 1/2000?

[bananinhao]

35ms? thats like a 1/28~1/30 config?

[purdyboy63]

Congrats!

[TheShanestoneham]

Congratulations on the baby!

[Cassidybros]

congrats!

[bbenny0310]

Congratz on the baby. I hope you do go pro YouTuber.

[LRFLEW]

I got 31 ms. Good? Bad? Just wondering

[allieissocoollikee]

Congrats on the baby!! :)

[freshmaker15]

10th of a second?



[HotShoeShooter]

Awesome video

[xXcdazzo13Xx]

I can just see ur new baby becoming a photographer when he/she grows up

[Gringolocofrijolero]

You can buy babies at the hospital.. whats the payment plan ? or at least it sounded like you were going to buy one...

[098765432qwertyuiop]

Chicken Steadycam dude. We meet again.

[Percy777yebo]

I just get that "cool guy" vibe from you. Like your one of those people everyone loves to be around. Haha man-crush. Congrats on the baby Destin!

[TGIA0310]

Congratulations!!

[droopers35]

31 ms

[burg42]

Is the shutter speed 1/320 sec?



[StormyMonster]

Congrats!

[AirsoftShenanigans]

Congradulations on the baby.

[BJBlitzstein]

I think it was one-five hundredths. It seemed about .0022 ms.  The time jumped I'm assuming from your editing.

[charbby]

what do you work as? Like your formal job? Are you a professor or something?

I wish my dad could be just as cool as you

[charbby]

make a vlog about your kids next time!

[MrScientoLOLogy]

this video is fucking epic. definite like.

[davidberrueco2]

Congrats :)

[Vellyeza]

1:00 here you go youtube

[azmirreader]

I just like how he said "Today, I'm going to show you a little experiment before we go to the hospital and have a baby"!

You'd think he was speaking of going to grab a bite! LOL

BTY Congrats ;-)

was it a boy or girl?

[destinws2]

@azmirreader

Boy!

[grieske]

@destinws2 Congratulations! 

[nvahalik]

1/200 of a second?

[willpill45]

30ms?

[NobodysOffTheHook]

Good stuff!

[PlayerRespawn]

blood on your eyes, pretty cool? wtf

[godssonisme]

That copyright on the video was awesome.

[KodierungHerz]

What's with the crappy music, dude?

[Wetter02]

Nice with the copyright adition on the video, looks like its on the camera :)

Very sneaky!

[TheYozStudios]

In Canada, our kids go to University first and then college.

[brassmonkey555]

I noticed that you have been answering a lot of questions in the past few minutes; I would be really excited if you answered mine!

Do you play video games? Why or why not? Do you think they are bad?

[destinws2]

@brassmonkey555

I don't play that much. not because i think they're wrong, its just that i usually find more educational/productive ways to use my time. Games are certainly fun, but creating these videos usually consumes every ounce of free time... assuming you measure time in ounces!

[hobofuture]

@destinws2 FINALLY someone else who measures time in ounces!

[AGLAproductions]

Check out our Channel and watch an Actress-Stripper Raps

[MrJuicedman]

Da FAQ just happend?

[TheMrbunGee]

Exposure time is about 30 ms.. :D

Next time try not to put so loud music track, when you are speaking! ;) It is hard to understand you, even more if english is not my first language. :D

Hello from Latvia! ;)

[TheMrbunGee]

@TheMrbunGee

and it is not 35 ms..

[almcken]

woah... C A M E R A C E P T I O N

[joemel2]

Congrats on the baby guys, I guess you'll need to post even more vids for college money now. Everyone's a winner :) why does the shutter go down to the bottom but then close from the top? Are there 2 shutters or is it to make sure the sensor is is exposed for the same amount of time on all parts of the sensor? (does that make sense?)

[destinws2]

@joemel2

If it opened from the top then closed from the bottom the pixels on top would be exposed more than the pixels on bottom. This way provides almost the same amount of exposure for every pixel.

[tjohnston17]

@destinws2 that makes sense, but does that mean there are two separate shutters? do they switch positions once the mirror returns to its position?

[BJBlitzstein]

@destinws2 I noticed that and assumed it. I have an x-ray machine here in Ohio if you can think of any fun legal things to do with it.

[ashkibala1]

@joemel2 the first curtain goes down then the second curtain goes down with the same speed so the top pixels are getting the same amount of light as the bottom pixels. and then both curtains go up together while the mirror is coming down and the same process happens all over again.

[amazonman2009]

Great slowmo, great channel :)

[foxtrot1666]

If you had a chance to go to the Peruvian Amazon and shoot a video what would you do?

[destinws2]

@foxtrot1666

When my wife was there last year she shot videos about piranhas. There's an orphanage there we work with in Iquitos... I would talk about them. They have become a home for many of the "street boys". It's really a great work and should be encouraged.

[foxtrot1666]

@destinws2

Im the marketing director for a company in the Peruvian Amazon. It might me good if we could work something out where you could come down here and take some video.

[destinws2]

@foxtrot1666

Why do you ask?

[ignitingdesign]

Congrats

[Swiftclaw123]

wut

[coolerminds]

Greatjob!! btw congrats on the baby! :)

[Topgun67]

Good luck with the delivery.

[TastelikeChickenable]

i thought i will get shot in the eye watching this video, i dunno why

[geniusboy94]

Yup

[TheHiddenPart]

Congratulations!

[aljirvine]

Is the mirror there so that the viewfinder works?

[JustARunoftheMill]

And thats why if you ever drop a DSLR camera, you're probably boned!

[ThePunkkiller8]

I subscribed today yay!!!!!!!!!!!

[destinws2]

@ThePunkkiller8

High five yo. {smack}

[Tomsparely]

Happened to my eye too :D the sight on peoples faces is hilarious

[TakeaHandful]

Baby

[GalaxyRaiders]

Cameraception

[CountdeAll]

the shutter exposure is about 34 milliseconds but the entire movement takes 135

[ardotschgi1]

hey destin. i really think that you should lower the background music volume a little bit when you're talking :)

[destinws2]

@ardotschgi1

I considered it. But I figured, ah what the heck. We're in labor.....they'll understand.
