,How does higher frames per second like 10000 fps mean a super slow motion video??
In: 102
Let’s say there’s a car driving down a road at a fast speed, and you pull a camera out and take multiple pictures of the car and then play them in a slideshow.
The distance the car has traveled between the pictures will depend on how much time has passed between each picture you took with your camera. If you took a picture every five seconds, the car will have traveled a big distance between pictures. If you took a picture every one second, the car will have traveled a small distance. If you rapidly pressed the button and took multiple pictures a second, the car will have traveled a very small distance.
Now lets say you have super powers and managed to take thousands of pictures of the car per second. The car will have traveled pretty much zero distance between two pictures, and you will need to go through MANY pictures on your slideshow to notice a difference. If you scrolled through your slideshow fast, it will look like the car is moving in slow motion.
What a high speed camera is basically doing is taking thousands of pictures a second and grouping them together, and then playing through those thousands of pictures at regular speed when you watch them so that they appear to be a slow video.
Edit: changed my explanation a bit.
