Optimum Shutter Speed for Minimal Rolling Shutter?

[fotobywes]

I haven't figured out how to empirically determine is there is a relation between shutter speed and the dreaded rolling shutter "jello" effect. I'm reluctant to just do walking tests- I'd rather devise a repeatable motion test.

If my D90 is set to Shutter-Priority mode prior to entering Live View, and then I hit AE-Lock, theoretically I'd think that the shutter speed would be locked, and the sensitivity and/or aperture would be used to compensate for exposure variations.

If that's true, then it would be theoretically possible to test various shutter speeds, with 1/25th of a second being the maximum shutter speed, and anything below 1/250th of a second straying into "stroboscopic" territory.



Does anyone have a gut feeling on the best shutter speed for minimizing jello?

There is no way that I'm aware of to know what shutter speed you're at while in Live View mode even if you think you've set it before hand therefore it would be very difficult to answer your question.

There is no relationship between shutter speed and jello. It happens equally at all shutter speeds. The only thing that changes is the amount of blur, but the lean/skew will be the same.
