I am a new HVX200a user, and camera owner? Can anyone tell me what changing the shutter degree will do to my footage and why would I ever change it? What are the advantages and disadvantages of changing shutter degrees?
Thanks,
Jay
 
you can think of it as a still camera shutter speed.film works this way so the put in the setting to simulate the exposer as if it was a film camera look at it as a 360 degree disk . open 180 degree would be open 1/2 the time. the thing to remember that at 24p the 180 degree setting is = to 1/48 shutter speed but in 30p the 180 degree setting is 1/60 th . might be easier for you to set the shutter speed buy 1/24,1/48, 1/60...... now what difference does it make? amount of motion blurr or at the other end frame stutter.(as in private ryan). buy greens book it is a great hand book to have for reference . lots of people have posted on this already try searching other posts.
 
Shutter angle is used to control the aesthetic and artistic look of the moving pictures (as jet posted). It is also used to control the amount of light hitting the CCD. If the camera is trying to capture low ight levels, a higher shutter angle and wider aperture is helpful.

My default is between 180 and 220. For high action stutter (zombie movies, skate videos, war scenes) I use 100 or so. For low light and/or 35mm adaptor, I use 220 - 350.

I was curious about this myself, so I messed around with it a little bit today. I took this video with the first half at the default 180, and the second half at 20, just for a big contrast. I didn't realize that the dof would be affected so much. I had lots of light, though, which is also a consideration when changing the synchroscan setting.

P.S. At the time of this post, it was not done converting, but it should be up in a little bit.
 
if you see at the secong half / at 20 happens so fast that to expose properly the camera irus opens more to compensate. you can do this ,kinda like a nd filter with different shutter speeds. but if you do this again and look at the irus setting you will see what i mean. shutter speed on its own would not give such a huge differance.
 
Sorry, I forgot to mention that the iris was open much farther, but I did forget the correlation with the iris and focus. I have not experimented much with this camera, since I have been so busy with my "pays the bills" job, but I'm learning a lot, especially on this board.

So, am I also to assume that if I have the ND filter at the higher setting and I open the iris, that I will also see a similar effect? I'll try this later in the week when I have more time.
