    Sorry not the right forum,but thought there must be some ex SDX900 users here.Have never used the camera might have a job shooting 30p,in this case is it best to use the half shutter setting/any shutter setting.I always do with 24p/25p but not sure about 30p?

    Thanks

    Yes, your instinct is correct; always use the “half” or 180 degree shutter (at least) at 30 fps or else you’ll have too much motion blur per frame with shutter off (1/30th of a second). With video you should consider 1/60th of a second a minimum or default speed (or 1/48th at 24 fps).

    Hi John

    Thanks for your reply.Had a look at the camera this morning,but this model,unlike the HDX900 didnt have a half shutter setting I couldnt find it anyway!

    I can change the syncro one ofcourse.So should I set to 1/50 as with 25p,or is 1/60 better for 30p.Or 1/100 on the normal shutter setting.

    I,ll have it set to Film 1 gama.

    Thanks again
