Lightning FAQ
En over het bekijken van verschillende frames (
bron: Terry Pallister):
"After you shoot your footage you will want to play it back on your VCR, to make a copy of a good shot, and/or to bring images onto your computer. For the stills you will pause your VCR and go through a strike frame by frame to find the best one. Sometimes everything seems to be there frame by frame. Other times you will stop on the frame before the strike with nothing, click to go forward one frame, see a flash, but not have it show up on the next frame either. The flash is in between the 2 freeze frames! Can you get that flash on a freeze frame or not? The answer is, yes! You will not find the answer in the manual that comes with a camcorder or VCR. In the manuals it is specified that playback is 30 frames/sec in NTSC format in the US and other countries (25 frames/sec in PAL format in Europe). If you ask a knowledgeable salesman or call technical support for your equipment you will get the same answer. But, because lightning is so fast an entire strike can show up in between frames. The following is a rare application that sales and tech support people don't realize needs further explanation.
There are actually twice the number of frames recorded (60 NTSC, 50 PAL). To get the other half of the freeze frames/second you need to copy the segment onto another VCR (or from a camcorder to a VCR). You may have to do this several times until the other set of frames become the freeze frames (My record is 12 tries on one particular strike, so don't get discouraged). Most of the time for day lightning (and much of night lightning as well) the freeze frame with branches of a cloud-to-ground strike appear on the first frame only. Without this tip you will only see branches on a freeze frame for 50% of the lightning strikes. Try it! You will be amazed at how much you thought you missed out on but had all along!"
