    High speed refers to the shutter speed in a camera – how quickly it can take frames. Slow motion footage is taken in a high speed camera. It’s just a weird quirk of language.

      Stupidly enough, I actually know this, and know it very well :(

      I just took it as:
      High speed | camera footage
      i.e. camera footage, playing at high speed.

      Instead of:
      High speed camera | footage i.e. footage from a high speed camera

      I am ashamed.
