hello folks,
i have the following problem. i bet it's very well known but i couldn't find the right searching terms to dig how to solve it. therefore this thread:
i did a video recording with gh2 and canon fd 1,4f 50mm at an event. they use led lightning surfaces on the ceiling (blue,green). i patched my cam to one of the driftwood patches which are 24 fps ntsc and i'm located in germany. i know when shooting 24 fps - 1/50 shutter should be the shutter (1/48 in fact, but my gh2 only delivers 1/50s). while recording at the event with this setup the banding of the led lightning was horrible! i changed the shutter speed from 1/40 to 1/120 and the banding was "best" and less obvious in 1/40 shutter speed mode. i switched in camera from ntsc to pal in the main menu BUT i do think that it didn't affect the recording because i used the hacked driftwood patch. right? i know germany (eu) uses 50hz power, usa 60hz and all this stuff).
Can someone direct me to get this problem solved? the banding was still obvious when i used 1/40 shutter and of course i want to use 1/50 shutter with my 24 fps recording for best results...do i need to record in 25 fps in this environment to get the problem solved?
all the best
