Camera shutter at 10,000 FPS

[Forkie]

This is a great video by The Slow-Mo Guys, who have a channel on YouTube where they just film loads of cool stuff like explosions and things in super slow motion.

This time though, they've filmed the shutter of a Canon 7D. Might be a useful video for any newbies and seasoned photographers alike to watch to get some understanding about how a camera shutter works.

Enjoy!

That video is pretty freaking awesome. I already knew how a shutter worked, but seeing it in slow mo is freaking awesome.

It is pretty awesome. I already knew how it worked too, but I've watched the video about 5 times now - it's mesmerising to watch!

Yes to all the above. It really brings technology home from knowing to seeing. I have a lot more respect for my cameras and the peoples who make them ... (especially P mode, lol).
