relationship between Shutter and FPS

[Format_Foreigner]

this confuses me

if i set camera to 24p is the shutter supposed to be set to 1/24?


if i set camera to 30p is the shutter supposed to be set to 1/30?



what is the relationship between the two?

(one reason i ask is because it seems setting the fps can change cam to same shutter speed)

You can set the shutter to whatever you like, each different setting will result in a different look. The standard setting is 180 degrees, or 1/48 for 24p and 1/60 for 30p. Any slower may result in smearing but will let in more light, any faster may cause a stuttered or strobing look but will be very crisp and will result in a darker image. Increasing the shutter speed is usually only done with high action.

On the 150, when the shutter is turned off it is at 180 degrees.

On the 150, when the shutter is turned off it is at 180 degrees.

I thought that OFF means 360 degrees.

I thought that OFF means 360 degrees.

On 2/3" cameras, it does. On the AG series, OFF means "go to the default setting", which is 1/50 on 24p and 1/60 on 30p and 60i.

Off means 360 on my Sony also. And Barry, is there a shutter off on the DVX? ANd if so, does it mean 360 or does it mean "default" as you've alluded to here? I haven't shot regularly with the DVX for some time, and I cannot remember.

so given that,


if i set camera to 30p is the shutter supposed to be set to 1/60? (as a general default setting?)

Correct
