Fifty percent calibration movies

Post by sbl »

I am getting fifty percent or more calibration movies. Is this unusual? I understand the need for calibration movies, yet it is discouraging to know that half the time I am not looking at real data.

usually the rate is between 1 in 3 and 4, However it is somewhat randomised so that sometimes you get a lot of real movies with the ocasional calib. movie and sometimes you get a high percentage of calib movies. It does give you quickly a high score though ;)

I would expect it to level out in a couple of days or so

It would be 1 to 3 or 1 to 4 if there were not so many real movies that are out of focus.

Thanks. I have gotten a lot of out of focus movies lately. That would explain the persistent figures. sbl
