i’ve got a question, when you’re shooting video (HD or SD), can you zoom in and out like a camcorder while shooting?
Thank you so much!

Yup, You can zoom when recording a HD or a VGA Movie, but not when recording a Highspeed Movie.
And: you must decide wether you want to zoom or record audio. (I think thats because the motor of the zoom would ruin the sound recording, so one of this two features must be disabled)

Try the auto mode in a brighter situation. At highspeed mode the shutter is, of course, very fast, so there is not much light to fall on to the sensor in such a short time.
, professionals spend more money for the extreme bright lightning than the camera itself (it already happened, that a car startet to burn at higshpeed crash test because of hot lamps)
At evening you probably will only see the lamps. Check my indoor filmed highspeed perfume explosion.
This is normal with high speed filming

Thanks for the reply, i have tried it outside and it works great but it is dark inside due to the light, even though it is in a bright room. Thanks for the Advice as i was going to smash the camera in fast motion on the floor lol.

The Casio EX-FH20 helps you to capture an amazing 40 high resolution, 7 megapixel images in one second providing more images to choose from than a DSLR. Get close to the action with the 20 time optical zoom starting at 26mm wide-angle. A push of a button enables you to shoot high definition 720p video and switch to high speed slow motion video. You can capture in 30-210fps, 420fps and 1,000fps. At 1,000fps you can catch movement that you cannot see with the naked eye.

Everyone who sees this comment, if you noticed how the video on the camera with the ball. You noticed that it was very bad, well he was using slow frame mode (Not Actual High Speed Normal Mode). I have a video with it, on normal movie mode, it is extremly smooth. Thx for reading!.

you should get the EX-F1, it’s not that expensive at all.
top ten features:
1 – badass look.
2 – High Speed capturing @ 300, 600 and 1200 fps.
3 – Full HD 1080p video capture at 60 fps.
4 – high quality pictures.
5 – LONG battery lifetime.
6 – firmware updates.
7 – some kind of motion sensor. (will notice if you took your pictures upside down for example and rotate them.)
8 – powerful flash.
9 – HDMI output.
10 – you can connect it directly in your printer.

oh..
if you’re buying standalone high speed cameras, you’ll have to pay about 10 – 20 000 $
the EX-F1 is the cheapest high speed camera out there that is actually good.. i mean.. you will use the other features too…

The Casio EX-F1.
High-Speed at up to 1200 fps.
The battery time is very long. (one or two weeks of normal use).
Casio only made two high speed cameras as far as i know, and the EX-F1 is worth the 1000$ (varies from country to country.)
Also, you can take single-frame pictures at up to 40 000fps.
more than fast enough to take a clear picture of a bullet if you’re lucky :p
Google a “Casio ex-f1 price guide”.
PM me if it is something you want to know.
