  • Gav shows you how insanely quick the inside of a DSLR camera moves when it takes a picture, by filming it at 10,000 fps.

    Camera filmed is a Canon 7D.
    This video is a good demonstration of how a rolling shutter works.

    1:11 For those who didn't notice, there is a second mirror behind the first one. The first one is semi-transparent and directs light up towards the viewfinder while the one behind it directs light down into a suite of sensors which detect focus and light intensity at various parts of the frame.

      @ Shaggy Dawg The shutter does indeed jiggle (on all SLR cameras with that type of shutter), you saw it in the video. It's just a matter of scale and speed. It still niggles at the back of my mind when I'm handling cameras how fragile they can be, but I've been using an F100 and F5 for decades with no problems... yet. Though I understand it when they blow, just that fractional difference or misalignment.

    Many people call Gavin an idiot, but I personally think he plays it up a bit in RT/AH stuff, just for comedic value. Not saying that some of his questions aren't really weird and dumb and oddly worded, but I think he's way more intelligent than people give him credit for. The dude could easily teach a Bill Nye esque motion photography class.

    Gavin is possibly one of the most humble guys you will ever meet. I think he puts on an act a lot of the time and purposefully takes the censor off all those silly little moments you get in your brain and lets them loose when with Rooster Teeth but he is actually a genuinely super smart guy. this stuff is so fascinating, and if you ever said to him "Gavin, you're actually really smart" I think he'd deny it until he was blue in the face. It's one of the main reasons why he's one of my favourite guys, he's just genuine and awesome and adorable. Thanks for showing this, I hope it didn't ruin your camera too much taking pictures without the lens on dude!

      Even without shutter speed issues, the shadow would appear to hit the face first because of the issue of perspective from the sun, and the way the shadow is cast. This was a horrible example. Try it outside, you can make it look like you're slapping your face when your hand is 2ft away, it's all about perspective.

    All I gotta say is thank you. About an hour ago, I realised that today is the moon eclipse and my dad has a pretty good camera and he was asleep while it was happening, so I got it and tried to take a picture of the moon as the eclipse was just starting and all I had was a big white dot with a black background, I had no clue what I was doing wrong then I suddenly remembered watching this video when it came out and I instantly remembered what Gavin said about the more time it is exposed to whatever it is you're taking a picture of, the brighter it is going to be (something along those lines), so it instantly made sense in my head and I got a few decent snaps of the moon eclipse (decent for a camera noob anyway). Who said RUclips wasn't a place for education? Even though It was a long time ago I watched this video, I instantly remembered all the info provided in which i used to take the moon when it was bright using fast shutter speed and when the moon was red I used slow shutter speed and it all worked. So once again thank you!

    • @ydna
      @ydna 8 лет назад +132

      somebody once told me the mechanism that causes movement in these can't control the "speed" of the shutter because it's driven by a super fast spring. So rather than controlling the spring, they control the size of the gap, which is more cost-effective. It's possible to control the actual speed (with global shutter systems) but it's a different type of tech.
