FS7: Hi Speed refresher

[NorBro]

What are the available increments of the shutter angles? (Do you see the grayed out choices?)

If they are limited (IDK), it's possible that the next angle is not available (anything above 80°) because it doesn't meet the minimum shutter speed requirement for 240fps in that camera. Or maybe there is a menu setting for minimum and maximum shutter speeds to make sure you never go below or above a certain number.

Just guesses.

And what's the highest shutter speed (not angle) you can choose?

Norbro, the available shutter angles at 240fps are 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 14, 22, 30, 42, 60 and 85. 120fps adds 120 and 170 degrees to the aforementioned. Highest shutter speed is 10000. Nothing I can see greyed out. Thanks.

Hm, that really doesn't make sense to me.

There may be some cameras in the world which allow you to dial in the exact shutter angle, but seeing available options in such small increments like 2, 4, 5, 7, 10...just seems very rare and not right.

Post a screenshot if you'd like?

Also, is this a S&Q mode or can you choose 240fps as a regular framerate? I'm assuming you can't, but you actually can do that with 120fps on the mirrorless cameras so just wondering.

But maybe you're right...maybe it's a bug. Or maybe Sony is doing some kind of weird math for the conforming process and the 85° is really the lowest shutter speed you can choose and is essentially 360°. (Doubt it.)

This was brought up before, but seems like no one really had an answer:

Thanks, looks like no real answer. Will just have to set shutter speed in HFR for now...

Are you sure your not in slow shutter menu.. ?.. I don't see how 2 /4 /7 etc are shutter angles.. let alone at 240fps.. where no shutter is 1/240th..

Slow shutter menu?

OK will do...
