high-speed camera

Slow-motion recording device

A high-speed camera captures images at rates far exceeding normal video—hundreds or thousands of frames per second rather than the standard 24 to 30.

When played back at normal speed, the footage reveals details invisible to the naked eye: a bullet piercing an apple, a hummingbird's wing movements, a water droplet's splash.

Used extensively in scientific research, sports analysis, and filmmaking.
