Casio EX-F1 high speed video

[ThePafvel]

still best highspeed cheap camera....Canon, nikon, fuji - bad slowmo

[andrewdabbo]

Does the EX-F1 have an f-mount for changing over lenses?

[mumbojumbo766]

@nikjobs11 it's moby

[feola69]

I really like the last shot for the fakie tray. You can see how the the tail pops off the ground to get the board in the air.  Then you see you catch bolts on landing. Really sweet, I want one now.

[Foodfast123]

you used some frame blending/optical flow in this, right?

[watertower7]

What is the file format of the video that this camera takes?

[Trickscollection]

does this cam have autofokus? 

[ashomsky]

@Trickscollection Yes. It works fine for photos but for video it's not that great. When recording HD video it tends to "hunt", constantly changing the focus closer and further even in ideal conditions. In high speed mode, the focus is fixed before recording starts and cannot be changed while recording a clip. I manually focus it.

[theawakened2012]

Would you recomend this camera?

[ashomsky]

@theawakened2012 I would definitely recommend it for high speed video. It's HD video is so-so and photos are pretty decent.

[gatler05]

Nice tre ;D

[shoesarecoole]

dont u have new utube channel or is this stolen?

[ashomsky]

@shoesarecoole yeah this is my other youtube channel. I put camera equipment sample videos/reviews and stuff on this one.

[pizzarulesgood]

nice clean tre flip

[dymproductions]

does the camera look similar to an SLR?

[JonesSkateCrew]

How do you keep the quality so cleaneven at 300 fps??

[Mattyew]

Ok now I wanna see you fall off that thing moving at 600 fps

[HoodwinkedbyanAngel]

@Mattyew thats cold ...but its a great video...do u want him to land on his head also ?

[Mattyew]

@HoodwinkedbyanAngel No, I don't want him to be seriously injured, I just want to see how people manage to break their fall so quickly...it's amazing that we can do that as tall lanky mammals. I mean............yes I wanna see blood.

[HoodwinkedbyanAngel]

@Mattyew I know ya were just kidding and it is amazing what the body cans dos...lol i wish i had pictures of me doing judo like this slow motion ...

Heck 40 years ago we had Kodak instamatics and nasa did not even have digital... these cameras r so cool...

!~!

im thinking less than 1/2 quart of blood would be reasonable for starters...

ok then have a good one

[Mattyew]

@HoodwinkedbyanAngel fawk ya bud...........wanna see some twisted spinez n shit yo

[XmahzimX]

sick dude.. nice vid and editing

[IVIoNsTa360gaming]

how old are you

[wrxsavvy]

good job dude. Im not a skater but I say you nailed that move without a question.

[andros1984]

What are the resolutions for 3,6 and 12 hundred?

[orton1394]

are these videos shot normally and converted to 30fps later to make the playback slower or they originally get recorded in slow motion ? I Have a Panasonic FZ35 which has a shutter speed of 1/20000 (video ofcourse)

[cameratest]

@orton1394 Shutter speed is different from frame rate. You can shoot each frame in 1/2000th of a second but still only record 30 frames per second. The Casio EX-F1 can record 300 frames per second, and when played back at the standard rate of 30 frames per second, it's 1/10th real speed and still looks smooth. The smooth slow motion is due to the way it's recorded.

[orton1394]

@cameratest : if i record it @1/20000th , will my playback be smooth to some extent ?

[cameratest]

@orton1394 Using a fast shutter speed like that will reduce the motion blur of the individual frames. But if you record only 30 frames per second and play it back at 1/10th speed, there are only three frames per second to play back. Video editors can interpolate frames in between those to make it look a little smoother, but it won't look like this video.

[MydnightLizzie]

Yeah, this just makes me want the camera more. :P

[posertouch2]

nice tre flip haha

[mumbelchen]

moby... <3

[abdulbasitb]

i can see quality dropping down at higher fps. Is it always like that in the camera or there is another reason for this?

[cameratest]

@abdulbasitb The higher frame rates have lower resolutions. It's like that right out of the camera and there is no way to improve the quality. This is typical of high speed cameras.

[JoshBHC]

@cameratest the more expensive the camera the better the picture quality is at higher frame rates?

[chikotube]

"learn to skateboard and to tricks in 1-hour" should be another working title.

[Cypern]

I love my Casio EX-F1, its a fantastic camera.

[DaveIsParamount]

I've been tempted by the f1 but im holding out. I need a camera that can save the high fps shots in better quality and hope that casio or someone else pulls something out of their sleeve for us consumers soon

[teckcode1]

they check out all there produckts

[DaveIsParamount]

@teckcode1 what?

[KiwiShoot]

Nice camera ! I've got the baby version, EX-FC100 which does 210fps natively but the quality drops a lot when shooting 1000fps. After seeing this video, I might have to start saving my pennies for a new camera :-)

[AlexFromDownThere]

Which program did you use to edit your clips, and in which file format did you save the movie in?

Alexander (:

[cameratest]

I used Sony Vegas pro and saved as a .wmv 3MBPS.

[eitanyn]

how long can the camera shoot in 300 fps for?

[cameratest]

Until the file size reaches 4GB, which is about 30 minutes.

[vestrelado]

I know you need one and i have a Casio F1 also...but i can´t play the movies at that speed on the pc. which software did you use with the movies from the casio F1. Thanks. Happy new year for you. Greathings from Portugal

[cameratest]

The videos are .mov files and I can open them with quicktime. Make sure you are recoding in high speed mode if you want to play back the videos in slow motion. The camera can also record regular videos. If you record in high speed, they will play back in 1/10th speed on the camera as well as on the computer.

[vestrelado]

how do play the video in slow motion on the pc. What software did you use?

[PoiBoyProductions1]

Its not his software. Its the camera. Its a casio ex-f1, which is a high-speed camera.

[lexousa]

there is no such software to slow it down like that if u have crappy camera...

[carsick77]

my ex-f1 is coming tomorrow, got it for £409.98 free postage with a black leather case... you guys should try Park Camera's... make sure you select the leather case bundle as it makes the camera 1p cheaper haha so it would silly not too.

[ThatGuyFromYouTueb]

I don't like how the resolution decreases when the frame rate gets higher.

I don't know enough about the technology to know why that happens.

I'd personally be happy with a camera that had nothing more than 300fps, 16:9, Standard Definition (along with all the modern day luxuries that come with any given camera, of course).

Just my 2c worth.

[AEvision]

Speed vs Quality; it's a trade-off.

[RLfilmz]

its because the more fps it uses the more mem it takes up, and im assuming its a HDD cam, when it takes more space it lowers quality to lower file size... to make the vid fit on the HDD.

[skateelefant]

die holl ich mir jetzt dnan wohl^^

[freestylesk8r4life]

you are shomsky right??

[cameratest]

Yep.

[thebestevernikeman]

amazingly epic

[sktbrdfrk235]

your tre's suck ass

[sourfin]

hope ya got a spare $1,300 laying around

[sourfin]

bullshit...are you sure you got the same camera?

[marcuskeeler]

Bullshit you did.

[marcuskeeler]

I don't dispute you bought a camera, but if it was the EX-F1 you absolutely didn't pay $250 unless it was stolen or used/fucked. Don't play use all for fools, these cameras are like $1000

[marcuskeeler]

Oh you complete and utter Douche. This video was taken with e EX-F1 !! Not a fucking EX-FC100.

Holy shit, do you wear a helmet?

[geezeruk]

LOL Nice one Marcuskeeler, you scared the idiot away !! Right on !

[xTurnipTimex]

I can get it to up to 150 fps on Final Cut Pro :D

[cameratest]

I'm not sure what you mean. You can get what up to 150 fps in Final Cut Pro?

[staphinfection]

Your fakie heels look dope.

[laxmaxjeep11]

such a sick vid...makes it look like everything is floating on its own

[FactFinder22]

Awesum video; I want to buy this camera.

[nik282000]

I have the same camera and I love it. As you have shown, you get to see things in a new light without needing an entire camera crew. You have a steady camera hand too, good work.

[autopsiemorga]

casio exilim is the cheapest high speed camera , i saw a camera with 500 fps at 7000 $ and one at 17000 $ (no VAT) at 116000 fps. 17000 i can buy a nice car :)

and a phantom camera cost at least 50.000 $ :)

[VITTORE87]

but u have an awesome resolution dude i think full hd :) i think!

[aabm19]

hey nice video! can you please tell me the name of the song that you used??

[cameratest]

Porcelain by Moby

[lachat2007]

is there any ways of getting better quality out of the 600 and 1200? on the computer mabye? like cut and resize? i just got the f1 also.. and was just wondering..

[cameratest]

Not really, no. The low resolution is a limitation of the camera that you can't really get around with post-processing.

[mxpredator]

hey, could you tell me how long you can record such a video with 1200 fps? i mean the duration how many minutes oder seconds (real time not the slowmo time)

[Sisaphone]

i just won at the cebit wooooohaaaaaaaa !!!

[CalebTheGuitarist]

my ideal camera:

full high def 1080

60 fps

60 GB hardrive

shoots up to at least 300 fps

SD-card slot

Ability to record Youtube-Ready videos.

for under 600 bucks.

the day they come out with the camera above, is the day i withdraw 600 bucks from my bank account.

im sure 99% of the people here would fully agree.

[dorf4life]

how much was it?

[cameratest]

I bought it for $999 at a local camera shop.

[jwalnut]

do you know how it is possible to capture the video and then make a specific part on the video clip play in slow motion, and return back to normal speed?

or do you need to use software for this?

[cameratest]

This camera has a mode where you can record at normal 30fps and then when you hit a button it starts to record in slow motion 300fps and you can hit the button again to go back to normal. I normally just record everything at 300fps and I speed up and slow down the video with software on my computer.

[CalebTheGuitarist]

does this camera record in HD? if it does, than can you record in hd and still watch it on normal non-hd screen

[cameratest]

Yes, the camera can record in HD (though only at the normal 30 frames per second). And yes, you can watch it back on a standard-def TV. It comes with a cable to output an analog signal and it works even with HD videos, it's just a non-HD signal. Of course you can also output in HD if you have an HD TV.

[xxperoxidexx]

search ramped slow motion. i think thats what you are looking for.

[insanitystudio]

amazing, definetly a winning camera

[skeiter119]

this video blew me away!

[emilkje]

Author: How did you upload in such a good quality? I cant seem to find the right codec to use..

[cameratest]

I used .wmv 3MBPS for this video (that's windows media video, 3 megabits per second quality). It's pretty high quality, but youtube re-compresses it anyway. Part of the reason this video looks high quality is because the camera was on a tripod, so the background doesn't change. Video files can be compressed more efficiently when the background doesn't move.

[unokilo321]

hahaha duuuuude that's sick, nice camera, sick footage too. The nollie heels were dope.

[varialnilo]

Damn!

[timberwolves666]

O M G :O

[herofiscus]

does the 600 and 1200 fps have o be so small.?

[cameratest]

Yes, that's a limitation of the camera. 300fps is captured at 512x384 pixels, 600fps is captured at 432x192 pixels, and 1,200fps is captured at 336x96 pixels.

[Corvid]

What software did you use to compile the vid mate? Nothing I've got access too wants to open the files from mine! Yet they all play perfectly on things like VLC and Quicktime...

[cameratest]

I use Sony Vegas 6.0. There are newer versions of Vegas which presumably read these files as well. Vegas 6 will also read 720p HD video shot with the EX-F1 but not 1080i.

[pmgodfrey]

Sony Vegas, Avid, Pinnacle Studio 11 will work with the H.264 codec.

Adobe Premier will not...yet. I'm not sure about Final Cut.

[wolfenbreed]

Well done buddy.

[Georgeocurtis]

sick nollie heel dude. and thats an awesome camera too. if only i had a job. lmao im 14 so..........

[theaceofspades1x]

those tres are lookin good

[cszskater]

amazing dude keep skating!

[dSrKu8m]

its amazeing how good that camra can record videos, it looks just like a regular photo camra...

[cameratest]

Yes, it's quite the hybrid. It also records high definition video, but only at the standard 30 frames per second.

[dSrKu8m]

oh, but it has amazeing picture, so...

i like it:]]

[oopy111]

That's awesome how much did you pay the camera?

[cameratest]

I bought it for $999 at a local camera shop.

[taofledermaus]

I've seen this thing priced a few hundred less online, but when you do a few minutes of research, you find those stores being scams. I'm with you, I'd rather pay full price, locally, and ensure I get a good product, with a warranty.
