Eli5: max framerate on my phone

818 views

When I go to pro mode in my phone camera app, I see that the shutter speed can go all the way up to 1/4000 seconds. Why can’t I take slow motion video up to 4000fps? Would it simply take too much storage space?

Shutter speed refers to how long the light is allowed per image. 1/4000 of a second all the way to 2 or or 10 seconds even. It has nothing to do with videos frame rate.

Frame rate is how many of those images are shown per second of video.
