Motion and the SR11/12

From one of the threads posted on CCI it mentioned of motion trailing for slow moving objects like dog movement during a dog show

Then in the same thread where a video of a guy with his SR12 mounted on his bike also showed motion trailing when the road signs passes his bike. In this case the bike must be travelling at quite some speed.

I watched a Super NightShot video on Youtube of the SR12 when it pans across the room and the subject blurs itself out.

Now, is the SR11/12 only suitable for steady objects or what? Is it suitable say for shooting F1 racing? In this case, I not only need to pan to follow the racing car but I'll also be expecting trailing too?

Also, in the Super NightShot mode, if the videocam is steady and the subject moves fast vs the other way round (i.e. panning the videocam) will blurring of the subject takes place?

Thanks

Probably yes.


Sony "Super NightShot" claims 16 times increased sensitivity. It achieves this increased light sensitivity by slowing the shutter speed which can cause blurring of the image.

Hi!

Thanks for the reply here and on the other thread.

Another issue just come to my attention and that is - can the SR11/12 hard disk takes shock like bumps during writing (recording) if say fitted to a moving vehicle? Wonder what kind of 'G' shock is the hard disk rated?

Interestingly, now that a top-of-the-line motion camera (videocam) is having issues on handling motion itself

:rolleyes:

The manual does not state how many G's the hard disk drive (HDD) can take. It has a sensor to help protect the HDD from dropping, etc. But people have reported problems from vibrations when mounting in cars etc.

There also is an altitude limitation of 9,800 feet because of the HDD.
