OT - Web Cam Shutter Speed

Can anyone recommend a good HD web cam that allows the shutter speed to be adjusted?
I'm building a photo capture app that will grab images of people in motion - and we need to mostly eliminate any motion blur. I know there are web cams that allow modifing the shutter speed through the cameras control software, I'm just not having any luck finding one.
thanks

8110R Pearl Camera Shutter Speed Adjustment

Hi Folks......is there anyone who can please guide mehow to adjust shutter speed on my 8110R Pearl?
The problem is I am unable to zoom in or zoom out using the trackball, and there is one indicator of "slow shutter speed" is present all the time while in camera mode.
Please help?
Best Regards

Unless I am misunderstanding your question, I do not believe that is adjustable.
In the Camera > Menu > Options, you could try adjusting the light settings and see if that affects the shutter speeds.

Camera shutter speed?????

So I thought the camera was suppose to have a real fast shutter speed. I try to take a picture and it takes up to 5 seconds to get the shot. I miss everything this way. I cant keep my 3 year old still that long!!!

There are a couple of settings that minimize auto focus. Another trick I have learned with my 2 y/o and my Droid X camera: Hold the button down partially and it will Auto-focus, then wait for just the right moment and press the button in completely, using this method will give you a very fast response as the Auto Focus will already be complete.

Where to find photo shutter speed, F stop etc. in iPhoto

When I download Nikon photos to iPhoto library I was unable to find camera information such as camera shutter speed using Get Info button from the photo I clicked. But when I export the same photo out of iPhoto to Desktop and use the Get Info dialogue, I found the shutter speed information there, so the iPhoto must have store such info somewhere.
Question: is there an easy way to get shutter speed, F stop etc. directly from the iPhoto app without exporting the photo out of the iPhoto library?

in iPhoto select the photo and under the photo menu ==> show extended photo info
If you only have category titles click on the little grey triangle to the left of the category name to expand it

OT - High Speed Web Cam

Bit Off Topic, but hoping someone here has some experience - we're doing a photo capture project and many of the times the subjects will be moving. Currently we're testing three different web cams, two HD and one standard, and none of them are fast enough. We'd like to be able to capture people in motion but have a fast enough shutter speed to mostly eliminate any motion blur.
Thanks

I think I need to reword this - anyone know of a good quality web cam that allows the shutter speed to be adjusted?

I have a 6D. When I turn on my camera, the shutter speed display reads 00.

My shutter speed display on my EOS 6D reads "00". I have tried turning the camera on and off, charging the batteries and removing and replacing the memory card. Any suggestions for what might be the problem?

That sounds bad.  It could still just be some weird setting.  I have had odd things happen on a camera due to an accidental setting, and so I always try "Clear All Camera Settings" first.  In MENU, tab over to the 4th (the last) yellow wrench tabs, and it is about 2/3 of the way down the list.
 
Perhaps one of the moderators will chime in at some point with something that can help.
 
Failing that, at some point you might need to send the camera in to Canon for repair.  The mods always post the following link when something seems to be actually broken:
 
 
******* To start the repair process, you'll need to complete a Repair Request on our website. *******
 
Good luck.

Camera issue - stretch marks - Z1 in M mode, 8MP, iso 800-3200, indoor, hi-shutter speed

I tried to read some pages of the forum, but cannot find the similar issues. I am quite surprised if this issue isn't discovered since 6 months. (or it is common not a problem? please correct me.)
As mentioned in captioned, when in high iso and high shutter speed, there are serious stretch marks. The higher the more visible. Please refer to the photos below:
Photo 1: M mode, 8M pixel, f/2, 1/1600s, ISO-3200, in side a restaurant with no window
Photo 2: M mode, 8M pixel, f/2, 1/500s, ISO-3200, in side a restaurant with no window
Photo 3: M mode, 8M pixel, f/2, 1/125s, ISO-100, in my office at night
Photo 4: M mode, 8M pixel, f/2, 1/1000s, ISO-800, in my office at night
Photo 5: M mode, 8M pixel, f/2, 1/2000s, ISO-1600, in my office at night
From the Photos above, it is shown that my Z1 cannot take any photo properly INDOOR. When the light is stronger enough (in office/ factory/ laboratory), there are stretch marks even in ISO-100!
I had tried several Z1(s), from my collegues, friend, retail shop and even the display model in Sony's Customer Service Centre (Hong Kong), they all have this problem. The staff of Sony's Centre told me that all the Z1 have this problem and therefore they cannot replace / help.
I had tried with other cell phone / digital camera / DSLR, they do not have this problem. This is not common.
It is believed that Sony is professional in digital camera technology (refer to A7, A7R), and the 20M pixel DC quality camera is the selling point of Z1 and may be Z2. There should be an solution for this issue.

Hi, I had took some photos from my 7-year-old Fuji F100fd and 4-year-old Google Nexus One under same light source for comparison:
Photo Z1-1: Xperia Z1, ISO-400 , f/2, 1/160s, 8MP
Photo Z1-2: Xperia Z1, ISO-1600 , f/2, 1/640s, 8MP
Photo FJ-1: Fujifilm F100fd, ISO-400, f/3.3, 1/52s, 12MP
Photo FJ-2: Fujifilm F100fd, ISO-3200, f/3.3, 1/400s, 12MP
Photo FJ-3: Fujifilm F100fd, ISO-6400, f/3.3, 1/850s, 3MP
Photo N1-1: Google Nexus One, ISO-100, 5MP (No info provided in Exif)
Photo N1-2: Google Nexus One, ISO-1250, 5MP (No info provided in Exif)
From photos FJ-1 to FJ-3 by Fuji DC, no matter how high ISO and fast shutter speed, there is no stretch line in photo by Fuji DC. There means it is technically feasible to fix the stretch line problem.
From photos N1-1 to N1-2 by Google Nexus One, there are stretch lines only when ISO-1250 but very light and colourless. It seems more acceptable.
From photos Z1-1 to Z1-2 by Xperia Z1, stretch lines appear from ISO-200 to ISO-3200 and they are bold, dark and colour like stain. It is certainly unacceptable...
I hope I can get a solution on this issue. I wonder if other Z1 owners got the same problem?

Import shutter speed/aperture from camera?

I would like my macbook to import aperture/shutter speed of each photo. All I have is iphoto which imports the camera name I using. Is there any program that can do this?

General shutter speed of the camera in iPhone 3GS?

I'm well aware that the shutter speed in the above can't be controlled by the user, however, does anybody know WHAT the shutter speed of the iPhone is set to? Oeksen37

The aperture is fixed at f/2.8 with an ISO of 50 to 200 (but, one site reports ISO 70-1000), and the auto-exposure adjusts the electronic shutter in a range of 1/10th to 1/500th second (might go faster, not positive on the fastest possible speed).
If you have an EXIF metadata viewer, you can look at the specifics for pics you take on the camera - those values are stored with the pics.

G Series Cameras -- Longest Shutter Speed in Av Mode

Is there any way to get a shutter speed longer than 1 second using a G camera (I use the G1X) ?
I have been using Av and Auto Exposure Bracketing to get some twilight shots that I would like to process using HDR. I would like all to be taken with the same f/stop (so I don’t want to use ‘Safety Shift’). The problem is that, using Av/AEB (normally the easiest way to bracket for HDR) I am bumping into the 1 second Av Shudder Speed Limit.
Is there any way, using a G1X, that I can get 3 shots, taken with one button press, and have all 3 exposure shot with the same f/stop and ISO, such that the longest shutter speeds can go beyond the 1 second limit?
Thanks,
Harry

That is what I was afraid of. That is not a good option for HDR because it is virtually imposible to adjust the settings and reactivate the shutter without moving the camera a little (at least with the small gorilla pod that I use with this camera that I bought because I wanted somethig excellent but very portable.)
I hope Canon removes the training wheels from the G1X II.
This would not have been an issue 10 years ago (i.e., G3) becuae HDR wasn't really popular back then; it is huge now.

Slow-motion (high shutter speed) camera to video my golf swing with 240fps

What is the best model to choose? Would also like a shutter speed of at least 1/2000. I had a Canon SD4000IS that did the trick but was lost (don't ask how!).

Wali,
Some of our current models have the Slow Motion Movie mode that allows a 320 x 240 resolution video to be shot in super slow motion at 240 fps. Based on this requirement and the shutter speed requirement, I have put together a list of models that will work for you.
PowerShot G15
PowerShot S110
PowerShot S100
PowerShot SX50 HS
PowerShot SX40 HS
PowerShot SX260 HS
PowerShot SX230 HS
ELPH 530 HS
ELPH 520 HS
ELPH 510 HS
ELPH 500 HS
ELPH 320 HS
ELPH 310 HS
ELPH 300 HS

Old 430EX won't sync with 5Diii when used off camera, if shutter speed is over 200.

I am using a cowboy studio transmitter & receiver. Manuals for the 430 & 5d both indicate highspeed sync will work with higher shutter speed. 430 is set to highspeed sync.

The Cowboy Studios won't allow HSS. I'm not sure what model you're using, but knowing Cowboy Studios I'm guessing it's full manual only. The Yongnuo 622 triggers will allow HSS.
Again, I don't know the specifics of your trigger. But Yongnuo manual triggers (602, 603) will still trigger if you go above max sync speed, you'll just get banding due to the falling shutter.
Keep in mind that HSS significantly reduces the amount of power out of a flash. And since it's effectively a continuous light at that point, the faster the shutter speed the less the flash can contribute to the exposure. I'm not sure what speeds you're using, but if you're up in the 1/1000+ range the power output will be quite small.

1st Generation 2GHz G5 & Web Cams

I have a G5 dual 2GHz Tower from I think 2003 or so. Just purchased a Creative Live! Optia AF Web Camera. It seems to work with all my applications but not sure it is 100% in terms of speed. I believe my G5, all 3 USB ports should be USB 2.0. This camera is also USb 2.0. So, I believe it should be doing 480MB speed like USB 2.0 does. I am not sure what the iSights with firewire were but my guess they were 400MB speed so these USB 2.0 should be equivelant.
Anyway, I launch my Quicktime Pro 7 and do a recording with it. I talk and the mics pick it all up. Video looks decent. Just choppy when I play it back and watch it as I record. For example, if I move around, my lips don't look fluid so it does not look like a nice smooth movie would, looks more like I am playing it over the internet at slow speeds.
Is this how web cams look? They record but choppy or should the recording look smooth and lifelike and not choppy?
I do a few karate chop moves and move my hands around and it all looks choppy as heck.
Just curious if this is the norm. When I play it back in Quicktime and have it show data, it shows recorded 30fps and playback is normally around the same. Sometimes more like 27fps to 30fps. It changes around as it records.
So, does 30fps supposed to look fluid?

Is your camera plugged directly into the computer or is it through a hub?
I have an iSight with my G5. I just made a simple 15 second recording and it was fluid and chop-free. I used to have a Powerbook G4 (1.67) and movies on that were fluid as well. This is both in QT Pro and iMovie HD. So its either the camera or some USB camera driver issues. I mention the USB drivers because USB cameras were not always natively supported. So maybe there's still some bugs in there.
Hope that helps.

EOS 70D : Slow shutter speed when LCD screen turned on

Hi !
Need your help. I am beginner & I have new 70D camera. When LCD panel turned off, the shutter speed is quite fast. When I turn on LCD Panel, the shutter speed automatically slows down & sounds annoying. The pictures are same in both cases. Also, the high speed continuous photo shoot, the shutter speed slows down when the LCD panel is turned on. Please help me to fix this.
Solved!

There is nothing wrong with your camera. It is working as it should when using LiveView.
There are two different types of Auto Focus:
1) Normally with a Film SLR or Digital SLR, you look through the optical viewfinder and view your scene through the lens of the camera. Behind the lens a mirror reflects the image up into the optical viewfinder. When using the viewfinder the camera uses "Phase Detection" Auto Focus. With PD AF the image passes through a transparent part of the mirror to PD AF sensors below the mirror. When you half press the shutter button the AF operates and when you fully press the shutter button the mirror flips up out of the way to allow the image to reach the image sensor behind the now open shutter curtain. While the mirror is flipped up, you can not see anything through the optical viewfinder. This all takes place very quickly and makes a fair bit of noise from the action of the mirror flipping back and forth and the shutter curtain opening and closing.
2) When using LiveView on a DSLR, the rear LCD image displays the image. In order to for this to happen the mirror must be flipped up and the shutter curtain must be fully open. The optical viewfinder becomes useless and the only way to see anything is by looking at the rear LCD screen. Auto Focus is no longer done with Phase Detection sensors below the mirror and now used Contrast Detection Auto Focus is used by reading the focus right off the image sensor. This type of AF is slower than PD AF.
The difference in sound is only because the mirror is already flipped up as soon as you press the LiveView button and all you hear is the sound of the shutter curtain clsoing and then opening up again so you can once again see the image on the LCD screen . The actual shutter opening and closing speed is exactly the same.
Here is more info on how Phase Detection AF works:

Elements 3 WIN-file info shutter speed & aperture missing

Please forgive me if this is a duplicate but I haven't been able to locate this topic in help files, FAQs or on this forum. That doesn't mean it's not there-only that there is so much info that I can't find it.
I have a Sony DSC-H2 camera. When I open photo files from this camera in Photoshop Elements 3 and view File Info there is missing information on the Camera Data 1 tab-the aperture and shutter speed. This is supposed to be read only information.
Any ideas on why it's missing and how I can correct this?
Thanks so much, Lisa

Sony probably went with a non-standard EXIF configuration, so the data is not where PSE expects to find it...
