GH2 filming an iPad

[Kevin Lee]

I need to film an informative video on an ipad app, and may have to get shots of the ipad here and there. Does anyone know the refresh rate for those screens? Or what shutter speed would work best with them?

Shot a whole iPad piece last month. Stayed at 1/60th (project was 30p) and had no problems. That said I have shot at 1/48th and had no problems as well.

iPads and iPhones don't flicker. Use whatever shutter speed you like.

Excellent! Thanks guys!

You might want to try a circular polarizer as well, it may help reduce reflections.
