[Leica] Bat Bending Strength: The Ted Gran Effect? - JIM

[Philippe]

Bob's X-T1 has a dual shutter, or two shutters if you prefer, Jim.

The e-shutter captures light scanning as an old TV set created an image - which leaves time for a fast movement to trigger the effect.
It is the one shutter that is used when shooting in silent mode. Hence my question.
The phenomenon may also happen when the e-shutter supersedes the mechanical one i.e. for speeds above 1/4000 if I remeber well.

The rest is chronophotography.

> Ha!  No electronics involved in that one.  I was thinking of those images as well.  The Leica handbooks of the 1950s, which I have somewhere, use a similar image to demonstrate what can happen as the horizontally-traveling slit passes across the film opening, recording a moving wheel-type image.  All purely mechanical.
