There has been some questions as to the uses of such a low framerate, for me its useful for low noise in low light shots for landscapes and cityscapes, in locked down shots this also offers motion blurring of moving objects like water or vehicles weather its night or day.

The January 26 version of ML unified allows lowering further the FPS to 3P, allowing even lower light possibilities and motion blur in moving objects.

Here's a comparison between 24P and 3P in lowlight shooting a road at dusk with cars.
