The high speed camera transfers large amount of data. For color cameras, it is advices to store the RAW images stream, to reduce the filesize. The high speed recording software is ideal for capturing sports and other events that do not require an infinity recording. The highspeed recording can be reviewed in slow motion. Measurements and comments can be added to the high speed recording.
