Re: [TCML] Tesla Coil Video Problems



Digital cameras work fine and many of mine have been published. Just use a longer exposure or night mode and lock the focus. Much better options to adjust white balance (set for Flash mode to get the sparks right) .
Digital video works fine too but you may need to
1: shoot night mode,
2 fix the focus (auto focus will just hunt over the full range for variable sparks),
3 use a tripod,
4 use some illumination of the coil. Don't use complete darkness unless you have a specific goal.

Broadcast video works fine too.

I have tried several times to take video of the streamer from my TC but the sparks never show up. I have tried different things, total darkness, slightly light, black back ground, streamers to targets, nothing works. I can take still photos with my Nikon F camera on color film but the new electronic video camera will not show the sparks. What is the deal with that???
