Re: GH4 video judder/strobing - a solution

..I'm shooting outdoors, mainly,

but yes, fluorescent lights are another kettle of fish - if the shutter isn't synced they produce waves of bands rolling down the footage, but it's not that that I'm seeing.

I've googled GH4 juddering / strobing, etc, and got some hits, but think it's mostly camera operator faults. As I say 29.97 is so so so much smoother, it'll be my default for a while.

I doubt the camera is at fault.

I don't expect 24fps to be as smooth as 29.97 / 30 fps, but the judder is just not looking quite right, even with exact shutter angles 180d, and even 360d (which helps at bit, though footage then seems softer, and isn't a total solution, as is 29.97).

I don't think I'm being unduly critical, or misunderstanding the device, though I'm still hoping to hear from someone who has had this issue!
