Water???

[CatfishMan43]

believe it or not my uncle years ago was shooting a 38 snub down a creek and the sun was shining just right and we could see the bullet ..it was crazy.....

[lisolangka]

@CatfishMan43 thats pretty interesting..

[MysteryMixerMan]

11 people were being settled by a bullet!

[ghostavenger1988]

lol i saw it it looks like a black dot

[bowman580]

i have the ex fh20 and can see a .45 acp bullet a only 210 frames per second

[LikeAVideo]

upload video?

[bowman580]

ok i will upload a video and send you the link

[aw11ccc]

awesome video

[dkcheapo]

how about we try it on you and see if your sill alive

[ryanbinrichard]

@dkcheapo why you gotta be like that?

[wavelength1970]

how is this fake?

[RamboAmbo]

Great video - Thanks for posting

[taofledermaus]

The F1 doesn't record sound in HS mode. Was that added in editing?

[wavelength1970]

I had 2 cameras set up side by side, the F1 and an old Sony for the video with sound

[Leland1037]

Thats TOO damn cool 5*

[wavelength1970]

Thanks!

"Lethal Force expert Massad Ayoob has stated that the "Tried, Tested, and True" 115 grain +P or +P+ is the best self defense load in this caliber."

I was shooting regular FMJ 115 grain and 147 hollow points just to show the difference..the pointed FMJ pretty much zip through things like gallon milk jugs where as the hollow point seemed to hit it harder and knock it off the rock.

You don't have 1/40,000th of a second shutter speed in your videos. You would need artificial light to see anything. Sunlight is not bright enough. If you don't believe me, just try taking a photo in manual mode at 1/40,000s shutter speed. The shot will be black.

[wavelength1970]

I manually set the camera to 1/40,000th, and yes if you try to take a photo at that speed it will be dark.

In video mode, it cranks up the ISO, I was in full sunlight, and I brightened the video in Windows Movie Maker.

[wavelength1970]

You can see the slug in like 9 frames between the gun and the target and the slug is frozen in each of them. Assuming about 1000fps velocity, at a 1/40,000th shutter speed the bullet would only travel 0.24 inches per exposure, which explains why the slug can be seen frame to frame. Even at 1/4,000th of a sec it would travel 3 inches per exposure and would be a blur, so yes the Casio was filming at 1/40,000th.

[logitech4873]

i think you're wrong, i own this camera for myself, and the shutter speed is only for photos, atleast i'm pretty sure...

gotta try when its not dark all the time, maybe next summer...

[wavelength1970]

I'm not wrong, 1/40,000th is the only way to explain how I could freeze a 9mm slug going 1000fps. Put the camera in S or shutter-priority, put it on HS video, then press the function wheel on the back left or right, the shutter speed will appear. The faster you make it, the darker the video gets, and it goes up to 1/40,000th

[logitech4873]

hey, i know it goes up to 1/40.000th, but i didnt know it worked like that when capturing high speed vids.

i'll test it when it's sun outside.

[taofledermaus]

No matter what the shutter speed is, the frame rate is what's important. Let's say your bullet is going 600 feet per second. At 600 FRAMES per second, the camera will capture one FRAME every FOOT the bullet is travelling- that's IT. A fast shutter will only make the bullet look less of a blur, but will not cause the camera to take faster frames. You can crank up the shutter speed but images become extremely dark with our F1's.

[logitech4873]

got it.

wonder what speed that bullet had.

[taofledermaus]

You may have to switch to "S" (shutter priority) and bring up the shutter speed one notch at a time until you get a clear (ish) image of the bb. You'll probably get to a point where the images are too dark to see. Shoot against a contrasting background so you can see the object better.

[logitech4873]

i was thinking of measuring how fast they were going by having a some sort of ruler behind where i shoot so that i can measure more accuratly how fast it goes. (i'm norwegian, but you get the point)

[wavelength1970]

1st one, 1200fps, 2nd one 1000fps

[taofledermaus]

It makes sense. The fact we can see the bullet travelling along confirms your settings.

[taofledermaus]

I made this statement PRIOR to my owning this camera and I have tested my theory by shooting an air rifle perpendicular to the camera, against a white background with measured marks on it. An object going 600 fps is going to precisely travel ONE foot per frame if you are recording at 600 frames per second. Simplest way to explain it. Shutter speed doesn't make it snap more frames. At 1/40000 shutter speed, my images were black in very bright sunlight.

[logitech4873]

i'll test this out with a Ruger MKII airsoft gun.

it can fire at up to 950 fps, but i can in theory figure out the speed of the BB's by using high speed capturing.

[taofledermaus]

It's easier to capture a bullet/pellet/bb etc travelling away from the camera. Capturing it flying perpendicular to the camera is another story. I tested my camera at 600 fps against a stop watch and it did take 20 seconds for the watch to move 1 second. (or 100 seconds for the watch move 5 seconds in my test) You should be able to do a "visual chronographing" using the camera to film an airsoft bb.

[taofledermaus]

I shot some videos of my pellet pistol and was able to get a good estimate of the speed. The pellet travelled 6 inches per frame at 600 frames p/s. So it was only 300 feet p/s on a half dead CO2 cart. The quality got bad after 1/10000 sec shutter speed, way too much noise. Even with bright morning sun. I'm not sure how he shot at 1/40000 and it didn't show up black or extremely noisy.

[wavelength1970]

I had a sunny day and I brightened up the video in Microsoft MovieMaker.

[H34DB4NGER]

Ive noticed when you increase the shutter speed it gets a lot darker.. i was wondering what film sensitivity this was recorded on and what aperture size was used.

[wavelength1970]

I borrow this cam from my wife's work, so I don't know it super well, but I think the max ISO in high-speed mode is 400, and aperture wide open at f3.7-f5 maybe?

1/40,000th shutter requires direct sunlight to get normal brightness
