That is pretty damn weird, but the "highly specific settings being enabled to even have a chance of capturing" is kind of a myth. Photographers often try to grab long sequences of shots, which is something you can do on your phone. The top-left thumbnail might even be from a video IIRC. If it was a very high shutter speed you'd see the bullet clearly and not a streak.
He had a Sony A1 camera and had the shutter speed set to 1/8000th of a second. I’ve heard back and forth on justifications for such a high shutter speed, but amazingly he was able to capture the 3 image progression of bullet>wince/hand raise>bloody hand
Ok you're right that is pretty specific. 1/8000 is the highest setting on most devices without going to more specialized equipment. Yeah, he must have had some reason to set it that high.(or maybe not, I'm not a professional) I hope we don't find out he frequently contracts for Blackrock.
