MELLON SHOT -A high speed camera is a device used for recording fast moving objects as a photographic image(s) onto a storage media. After recording, the images stored on the media can be played back in slow-motion. Early high speed cameras used film to record the high speed events but today, high speed cameras are entirely electronic using either a charge-coupled device (CCD) or a CMOS image sensor, recording typically over 1000 frames per second into DRAM and playing slowly images back to study the motion for scientific study of transient phenomena.
A high speed camera can be classified as (1) a high speed film camera that records to film, (2) a high speed framing camera that records a short burst of images to film/digital still camera, a high speed streak camera that records to film/digital memory or (3) a high speed video camera recording to digital memory.

A normal motion picture is filmed and played back at 24 frames per second, while television uses 25 frames/s (PAL) or 29.97 frames/s (NTSC). High speed cameras can film up to a quarter of a million frames per second by running the film over a rotating prism or mirror instead of using a shutter, thus reducing the need for stopping and starting the film behind a shutter which would tear the film stock at such speeds. Using this technique one can stretch one second to more than ten minutes of playback time (super slow motion). The fastest cameras are generally in use in scientific research, military test and evaluation, and industry. An example of an industrial application is crash testing to better document the crash and what happens to the automobile and passengers during a crash. Today, the digital high speed camera has replaced the film camera used for Vehicle Impact Testing
. Television series such as MythBusters and Time Warp often use high speed cameras to show their tests in slow motion. The fastest high speed camera has the ability to take pictures at a speed of 200 million frames per second.


A problem for high speed cameras is the needed exposure for the film, so one needs very bright light to be able to film at forty thousand frames per second sometimes leading to the subject of examination being destroyed because of the heat of the lighting.

Even higher speed imaging is possible using specialized electronic charge-coupled device (CCD) imaging systems which can achieve speeds of up to or in excess of 25 million frames per second. All development in high speed cameras is now focused on digital video cameras which have many operational and cost benefits over film cameras.

Recent advances in the form of image converter devices are able to provide temporal resolutions of less than fifty picoseconds, equivalent to over 20,000,000,000 (twenty billion) frames per second.[citation needed] These instruments operate by converting the incident light (consisting of photons) into a stream of electrons which are then deflected onto a photoanode, back into photons, which can then be recorded onto either film or CCD.

  • LOL, this is from some anti gun commercial not that long back. It was a pretty stupid commercial. They showed a bunch of stuff getting hit by a bullet and then the bullet went at some kid's head and turned into a cloud of smoke. It was kind of an annoying commercial, especially since they acted like the gun pulled its own trigger. It would have been funny to do a counter add with something like an ax flying and hitting stuff, just to show that removing the gun does nothing.

  • your head would look like the same

  • @scheissaufGOOG2E nope.

    theres cartilage bone and tissue..it doesnt explode the same

  • A 9mm hollow point wouldn't even do that much damage. Probably a .50 AE

  • @scheissaufGOOG2E You're saying my head is green?

  • Slo mo will never get old.

  • wow thise it buteful.
