High Speed Flash Exposure with Compact Digital Cameras
| Division: | Health Sciences / None | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Saskatoon | | City: | Saskatoon, SK | | School: | Centennial Collegiate | | Abstract: | A technique was developed to allow the use of external flash at shutter speeds higher than the maximum sync speed. A method to use camera to measure flash was developed by using a grey card. A mathematical model for the clipped flash output was developed by integrating flash discharge curve and validated by experimental data. A computer program was created to calculate correct flash exposure. |
