How do you get Shutter Speed to 4000 without the screen getting black?

Question by Justyn Bell: How do you get Shutter Speed to 4000 without the screen getting black?
I have a Canon t3i, and i want to do a slow mo sequence in one of my films, so i was trying to put the shutter speed at 1/4000 with the frame rate at 60, but the screen gets really black even when the iso & f-stop are all the way up. So unless it’s like super super bright outside i dont know how to get this to work with a 4000 shutter speed. Is there a trick for this?

Hmmmmm, I think you’re doing something wrong.
If it’s on 1/4000, the iso is on like 1000 something and the aperture is about 4.5, then it should be super light?
Never have the ISO above 800. You don’t need it on 1/4000, lower it. You could put the flash on or have it about 1/1000
Also don’t have the aperture that high
