Shutter Speed changes when using Off speed frame rate?

PostThu May 25, 2023 11:46 am

Hello
If I am shooting in 25fps and my Off speed frame rate is set to 60fps. When shooting in 25fps, my frame rate should be 1/50. But if I use the off speed frame rate, will i have to manually change the frame rate to 1/120?

Thank you

Depends on the aesthetics you want. If you want slo-mo to look similar to regular shots, 1/120 would be right.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.

I always have it set at angle and at least in that setting you don't have to mess with it manually. I assume it'll work the same with duration, but you could just set it to angle instead if not.

Shrenok,

In the menu, the first page of <SETUP> there are settings for "SHUTTER MEASUREMENT".

<Shutter Angle> = shutter angle can be set which will remain constant for any frame rate.
Example: you are at 50fps, 180 degrees and if then changed to 100fps the shutter angle will remain 180, which will result in a shutter speed change of 1/100 sec to 1/200 sec.
