Shutter Angle

I have just received my BMPCC 4K and intend to use it on my next dance show job as the C camera. My other two cameras are ageing Sonys that shoot 25i, 50Hz shutter. What would be the best setup for the 4K, I expect 50p for the frame rate that will then get interlaced on the edit timeline but what setting for the shutter?

You can change the way the shutter speed gets displayed in the menu under setup.

Would I be right in thinking that the Sony ENG type cameras shooting 50 fields/ sec with 50Hz shutter is effectively 360 degrees?

Thanks for all the replies, if you are shooting 25p with a 50hz shutter I would think that would be a 180 degree shutter angle, I was wondering how in a 25i situation this would change, looks like I will just have to try it.

If you’re thinking of old tube television cameras, you are scanning at 50i, the pair of two interlaced fields cover the complete sensor each 1/25” as they would for 25p. That’s two 180 degree fields combined to cover the equivalent of 360 degrees. But it’s continuously scanning the alternate lines with a very brief reset to go from the end back to the start (in which blanking gap other non-colour information is transmitted). Not the same concept as shutter angle but the speed is determined by the TV signal such as 25 Hz or 29.97Hz.
