  • Hey it's me Destin. Welcome to Smarter Every Day,

  • and, a blood vessel exploded in my eye. It's pretty cool. It's called a subconjunctival hemorrhage.

  • I think it's pretty neat.

  • Anyway, so today I'm gonna show you a little experiment that I'm doing, right before we go to the hospital and have a baby.

  • I am, taking high speed video of a DSLR camera shutter.

  • DSLR is Digital Single Lens Reflex, and this is a high speed camera, a Phantom that I'm pointing directly at the DSLR.

  • I take the lens and the cover off here,

  • and you can see underneath there's a mirror, and the mirror jumps out of the way,

  • and then exposes the shutter which then, exposes the sensor.

  • And there's two types of sensors in modern DSLR cameras.

  • There's a CCD which is a Charge Coupled Device and there's also a CMOS sensor.

  • A CMOS is a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor sensor. So I'll explain what those are in a later video but for now,

  • enjoy some wicked cool high speed footage, and

  • sorry about the eye. eugh. It happens. Anyway, have a good one.

  • We're going to have a baby. Bye.
