A video with a frightful secret that only your camera can see

If you like scary movies, you'll get a thrill out of this one. When I first started watching this, it definitely felt like a zombie was about to pop out at any second. However, this is a really cool thing to try if you have a basic DSLR or micro four-thirds camera.

"To the naked eye this video looks like nothing but a TV screen covered in colorful random static. But there's a secret message hidden in there that only your digital camera can reveal. Specifically, your digital camera with adequate manual controls so you can set your f-stop to 5.6 and your shutter speed to one full second. If all you've got access to is a basic point and shoot or your smartphone, the video below will spoil the surprise and show you what you're missing. Or not missing, if you're the easily startled type."


So, what does a photographer see?

Pretty neat!
