Bee's - European Honey Bee's (240 fps Sony HDR AX2000 1080i HD)

The bee's gather at the entrance to the hive fanning their wings to keep the colony cool. Amazing to see this evolutionary behavior, I can only speculate how many bee's perished before one 'poindexter' bee discovered this method of keeping cool.
240 fps is like time warp, everything slows down. Love my new Sony HDR AX2000....

How did you shoot at 240 fps on the HDR-AX2000? I don't see that option in the settings.

[JCVdude]

@ctvideo5756 Go into mode and you'll find the setting.

@bigmac573 actually since its in slow-mo it probably was shot over 60 fps at least. you would slow down something shot at 240 fps to like 60 or 30 fps to get a slow-mo effect and YouTube does display 60 fps.

[bigmac573]

You are not shooting at 240fps, and Youtube certainly will not display video at 240fps. Maybe your shutter speed is at 1/250, but that has nothing to do with frame rate. Shutter speed dictates how long each frame is exposed to light, therefore the clarity of the images.

Cooling the hive, what an awesome camera you have & wonderful capture, Love it! The Bee, so necessary in our daily lives & the reason we have fruit & vegetables. And one of the reasom we should all be very worried & concerned about the death of so many colonies of Bee's over the years, around the globe. Thanks for sharing your new advetures & having lots of fun in the process! lol I would be bored out of my mind if I had no camera. lol Have a great weekend!

WOW!!!! so its looks like you aren't wasting any time at all in putting that ax2000 to the ultimate test huh??? amazing. i am a huge fan of this camera and your video! i love the slow motion and cant wait to see you post more! i have a question though. are you limited in any way how you can shoot at 240 fps? can you be shooting at 30fps and then jump to 240fps instantaneously? how does it work? great video though. can't wait to see more :)
