A 2-stage shutter release is a part of many current electronic cameras. Pressing the shutter release halfway activates the autofocus and the light meter of the camera, setting them so as to achieve correct focus and exposure. Holding the release halfway maintains the focusing point and the exposure parameters (AE Lock) and allows for re-composition if desired. Fully pressing the shutter release takes the picture. 1, record 2, English, - 2%2Dstage%20shutter%20release

La caméra haute vitesse permet l'enregistrement numérique d’images ainsi que le visionnement de celles-ci à vitesse beaucoup plus réduite afin de pouvoir étudier l'événement enregistré au ralenti. On peut donc enregistrer les tirs puis analyser la séquence des événements. On peut même enregistrer les images avant le déclenchement de l'événement grâce à un déclencheur automatique. La capacité de l'image dépend du mode de visionnement. 3, record 3, French, - cam%C3%A9ra%20haute%20vitesse
