The Van Wert Area Photography Club\u2019s 2018 Kick-Off Meeting will be today, Thursday, April 12, at 7 p.m. at 214 S. Race St. in Van Wert. Plans from now until Christmas\u00a0will be proposed for acceptance and suggestions will be received for implementation.\u00a0Whynot come and see what\u2019s brewing?<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s subject produces the opposite results of last week\u2019s\u00a0— it speeds up the\u00a0number of frames per second in order to produce a video of an action in slow motion. This\u00a0setting would be very helpful to reveal how an athlete could improve his\/her motion, how a scientist could observe a reaction, or to simply discover the novelty of seeing something we normally observe at high speed, such as a breaking ocean wave, at a slow speed.<\/p>\n

Remember, you may have to do a search for how to do this on your make and model of phone.<\/p>\n

Probably the first thing to do when you turn on the phone is to tap on Settings, scroll\u00a0down and tap on General, and scroll down and tap on iPhone Storage.\u00a0The next screen will\u00a0tell you how much storage is still available.\u00a0This is important to know because as you increase the quality of the video and\/or the number of frames per second, you will be informed\u00a0about the increasing amount of storage that setting will need.\u00a0Checking is good insurance for success, because if the first shot can\u2019t be saved, and you are not able to repeat the action,\u00a0failure may cause multiple consequences.<\/p>\n

Next is to select your resolution and Frames Per Second.\u00a0Return to Settings, scroll\u00a0down and tap on Camera, tap on Record Slo-Mo then select either 30 fps for slow and its multiple options or 240 fps for really slow and its options to select from, and finally, tap on Preserve Settings after making your selection.<\/p>\n

Before actually recording, here are some suggestions for the set up.\u00a0\u00a0Have as bright a\u00a0location as you can because of the fast shutter speed.\u00a0 Use the tripod, although not quite as\u00a0essential, for consistent, steady framing, and set your auto focus and exposure.\u00a0\u00a0Practice the shot and settings till you are satisfied with the results.<\/p>\n

When all is ready, press the Home Button and tap the Camera icon.\u00a0\u00a0Swipe left or right to position the Slo-Mo directly over the red Record Button. Tap the Record Button to begin and once again when the sequence is done.\u00a0\u00a0The clip will be saved in Photos as a MOV file.\u00a0\u00a0Sound will be distorted & low pitched, so mute the playback.<\/p>\n

Next week\u2019s iPhone content will depend on the length of the VWAPC report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
