Hey, want a quick fix?

Stop using the 24Hz mode/true 24 fps, return to the 60Hz mode, and shoot in 23.976 fps... Why? Because video equipment in North America uses the NTSC standard, which supports 59.98 as a refresh cycle, and 24fps does not split evenly into 59.98, thus the dreaded judder/stutter that breaks up the image caused by frame rate and refresh rate conflicts.

Change out of true 24 fps, and ta-da! Instanta-fix!!!

That's an easy solution and it's super easy to do... except, you can shoot Cinema 4K (4096x2160) in 24 fps only, and not in 23.978. Some people need that resolution for their projects, and the only option is to be inside 24p mode.
