RE: FLASH: OT: photographing TV set for web/Flash use

[Tom Kerwin]

Each frame is indeed made of two interlaced fields, and they're both

displayed at the same time. A shutter speed of 60 will therefore show half

the scan lines, all in a block.


If the moment you're photographing doesn't involve much movement then there

won't be much difference between the two interlaced fields. In that case, I

think the shutter speed of 30 should get a decent image.


I've never actually photographed tv myself, but understand the above after

doing some video capture with some very odd proprietary software.


Good luck,


Tom
