Shooting in 24p (720p), switching the shutter on at 1/24 gives a brighter picture than with shutter off, however,..does it diminish the 24frame film look of the image at all? I would suspect not, as I have been shooting that way for a while now.
 
i may be wrong on this but thats due to the fact im to lazy to make sure i'm right.... i believe when the shutter is set to off you are actually shooting at the default 48. when you are shooting at a shutter speed of 24 you will get more of an exaggerated motion look, strobe look if you will. Please correct me if im wrong.
 
off means 180 degree shutter for 24p or at 30p it defaults it at 1/60

point is that the camera when shutter is set to off it defaults it to the recommended shutter for that particular frame rate
 
Yeah, on the HVX200 "shutter off" means "use the default shutter speed". You can choose to go to 1/24 if you want but you'll be getting smearier/blurrier footage (as well as brighter footage).

The default film look is 1/48 (or 180 degree) shutter for 24P. That is how a normal film camera shutter works as well. Some people say a 200 degree shutter looks a bit smoother on the HVX200. You are using a 1/24 or 360 degree shutter, which is as wide open as possible (I think 360 is not even possible on a mechanical film camera because you definitely need time to transport the film!). This is in no way a natural film look, it gives you lots and lots of motion blur!
 
I've got good results at 1/24 when the camera movement is kept to a minimum. I generally only shoot at 1/24 when I'm in a low light situation.
