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

Extra Credit: Can you calculate the exposure time?
I make videos to save up for my kids' college fund. I now have a new kid, so I need you to share this with anyone who loves cameras. http://on.fb.me/DSLRShutter
We're going to have another baby!... better videos coming up involving pregnancy photos like you've never seen them before....

You can actually rent a Phantom if you have something to research or you just want to have fun. Use this form and tell them Smarter Every Day sent you! http://bit.ly/wQPlHd

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.

1s exposure? ^_^

[TheCountMomo]

wow that helps alot, but another question, does it work in reverse or does it reset to the way it was before he activated the exposure

[44R0Ndin]

two shutters, one is open one is closed to start, the closed one opens, there is a pause (exposure time) and the second shutter (the one that was already open) closes to end the exposure

Este vídeo debería llamarse : "Que estupidez puedo hacer para mostrar mi rostro otra vez en primer plano"

[sabredash]

the purpose of that mirror is to reflect the image you see through the lens in the viewfinder

[TheCountMomo]

@destinws2 hi, i have watched this video several times yet i still havent figured out this: how does the shutter retract downwards but then it extends in the same direction @ 1:16 and @ 1:24

[SamDeanPhotography]

How much was that high speed camera?

[destroyee123]

The mirror in front of the shutter is used to reflect the image to the the viewfinder
