effect or skewed lines common in rolling shutter cameras.<\/li>\n<li>Sync high-speed strobes with the global shutter to freeze microscopic action at maximum frame rates.<\/li>\n<li>Experiment with

high-output, flicker-free LED panels close to the subject to compensate for the light loss inherent in high-magnification bellows or extension tubes.<\/li>\n<li>Use the V-RAPTOR\u2019s internal ND filters (if using an adapter) to manage exposure without shifting your desired aperture or diffraction limit.<\/li>\n<li>Monitor the Goalposts on the RED interface to ensure the deep shadows of macro textures don&#8217;t clip, preserving the sensor&#8217;s 17+ stops of range.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>                        <!-- ========== COMPOSITION
