High Speed Sony Camera

Table of Contents

Objective

To meet the goals of the project, a high speed camera was used to capture the golf ball at high speeds. It was important to capture the golf ball at high speeds and capture a number of frames to get data that could be used. An average dSLR would not be able to capture the camera at high speeds and would capture a blur of the ball.  

More information on the specifics of a high speed camera can be found on the High Speed Camera page.

Sony DSC-RX100M7

An example of a high speed camera is the Sony DSC-RX100M7 which was used for the golf project. The fastest shutter speed for this camera is 1/32,000 of a second [1]. As well, it has a wide aperture of F2.8 allowing for more light to enter. Other brands and models may offer different speeds and technical features, such as different aperture size and fast shutter speed.
