  24 or 25 fps video shooting and the 1/50 parameter

  Posted by Steve Iskenderian on December 13, 2012 at 12:42 pm

  Hello,
  I’m really new to video shooting.
  I read on this setting in order to get the “film” look, and that the should be set at 1/50 (which is twice the fps for 24 and 25 fps) in accordance with the 180 degre shutter rule.
  People shooting at 24 fps should set a 1/48 but, since it isn’t available, the closest is 1/50.

  My question is:
  If the one wants to get the best quality film look, I understand that the best is to shoot at 25 fps in order to match perfectly the 180 degree shutter, since it’s exactly twice the fps. And is there a diminution in quality is it’s shot in 24 fps.
  24 fps VS 25 fps with 1/50, which is the winner?

  Thank you.
