Re: Shoot at 50 fps and Don't Worry About High Shutter Speeds

Sorry Mark, I don’t follow, why wouldn’t I have to follow the 180 rule if I was shooting 50p?

I was actually thinking if I shot in 50p and was using it in a 50p timeline for normal speed footage I’d have to shoot at 1/50th, rather than faster shutter speeds.

Because at the high frame rate motion is captured smoothly and you don't need motion blur to gjve the illusion of smoothness. So, even high shutter speeds are ok. Try it and see for yourself.
