Slow-motion video using Canon Vixia HF20 - Plain-bellied Emerald (Amazilia leucogaster)

I have the same camera, but last I checked, mine only did 30fps, so how did you do this?

@shelbyfanss

Use the TV setting. The shutter speed can be set from 1/2 to 1/2000. See pages 63 & 64 of the manual.

What was the shutter speed?

[nps1000]

I think it was 1/1000.

How did you set the camera to do this? Can you also do stop action for claymation, etc?

[majestixblue]

it's not as smooth but it's a nice result!

Look they have really skinny long tongues! Good camera as long as you have good knowledge over the navigation of the menu and controls. :)

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nps1000]

Unfortunately, I can't remember. I believe the shutter speed value was 1/1000. I also used a tripod.

@nps1000 sounds more like kind of a shutter feedback but in a positive way....slo mo with a shutter that fast would look like crap...this is just a fast shutter speed at normal duration.

[digitalnow]

what settings did you have on the camcorder to shoot this? (shutter speed, program settings and so on)

[burfcontrol]

Even though there aren't like 1000 frames slowed down or some super highspeed camera, it looks really nice..

[arcitejack]

[nps1000]

No. The time of the film was increased. Is there a better term?
