The answer to last weeks question

When shooting HD Movies with a DSLR at a frame rate of 24fps, what shutter speed should you normally use?

Congratulations! Well, that’s a first. Never before have we had a 100% success rate on the weekly quiz, so either you’re all totally clued up on HD Movie shooting, or you’re very good at using google! I’m gonna go for the former :-) If you think you want to learn a bit more about HD Movie shooting with DSLR cameras, drop us a line and let us know. We will be arranging some group courses over the next few months and can also organise 1-2-1 sessions if that would suit you better.

For those that didn’t answer because they weren’t sure, the solution is simple – you select a shutter speed that is double the frame rate you are shooting at. So, with 24fps being the frame rate your shutter speed should be 1/48th second. Since we don’t have 1/48sec we go to the next nearest which is 1/50sec. If you’ve set your camera to adjust shutter speed and aperture in 1/2 stops rather than 1/3rd stops, you’ll have access to 1/45sec which you could also use to film.
