Shutter at 1/100th for 720/50

I'm a new Af101 user.
I shoot action sports and want to shoot at 720/50 and have always had good results with 1/100th shutter but i can't seem to set the shutter to 1/100th. Generally I try to keep the shutter at multiples of the frame rate - 1/50, 1/100, 1/150, 1/250 etc.

Am I missing something? Any advice?
 
Here in NTSC land, it is the same deal, we dont get to select 1/48 for shooting 24fps (it was the same with the HPX)... we just set it to 180degrees and forget about it. Would only be an issue if you could not dial in the shutter angle instead.
 
I spent my first few days with my AF100 wondering where I could find a 1/48 shutter for 24p. I finally figured it out with the 180 degree shutter setting. I get the 180 degree shutter as a concept from film as a medium. It is logical, but confusing at the same time. Does anyone know if the shutter actually works the exact same way as the video style shutter settings? That has been my impression at least. In that case, the 180 degree shutter would be the concept, but not necessarily how it is achieved.
