Canon manages it by strobing the flash repeatedly though the moving slit. This is called HSS flash as I recall.

It lets you shoot super fast exposures, get huge apertures and still use some fill.

And that's why you have a slowest "flash sync speed" - if you shoot at faster shutter speeds than the flash sync speed (typically 1/200s-1/250s), the whole sensor wouldn't be exposed at once, and the lower part of the frame would be dark.

The geometry of a movie scene

deathcow says...

Oh come on now, what about the rectangles of the bookshelves, the triangle of the table with the men in a row on top, the man talking with 1/3 of the chalkboard at left and 2/3 at right.... you can find these geometric shapes in any scene.

In one example (I hunted out in the video) at 1/1000th second the front curtain is moving faster than the rear curtain and looks like it would overexpose the bottom of the frame slightly.

What are those floaty things in your eye? (TED-Ed lesson)

deathcow says...

@Fairbs I have good days and bad days with them... but the good days are when I am inside not looking at blue skies : ) Or snowy fields, that can be bad. I actually switch my videosift to black and for my job (as software developer) I switch my editors to black backgrounds also. This minimizes their appearance.

For telescopes and microscopes , I use binoviewers which dramatically reduce the perception of floaters as two eyes are averaged out.

Mine are like this in both eyes:

I got them all 15 years ago when an insanely powerful flash discharged right in front of my eyes. (INSTANT pain ON) Over the next few days my eyes filled with them.

When I look at highly collimated light (like a powerful view in a microscope or telescope) I can see ALLLLL of them swimming in 3D.

A bright sunny day blue sky is like looking through egg whites.
