Re: What shutter speed for pulling still photos from 4K video when shooting sports?

You're going to have to make a choice between the high shutter speed look and it being sharp, or smoother motion if you're strictly shooting video.

If you have the NX1 and NX500, why not just set one for smoother video and ramp the shutter speed on the other to pull stills from?

Or just shoot 2x the framerate with the NX500 in 4k for more natural motion and shoot stills with the NX1 at 15fps? You can use one of the smaller JPEG settings to save space and have more images in the buffer if you're only looking for 8mp stills.

Good luck.
