    NX5 Strobing in 1080p 23.98

    Posted by Richard Wirth on October 9, 2011 at 11:56 am

    We are experiencing some strobing on fast pans with our NX5 when in 23.98/1080p. Doesn’t seem to be a problem in 1080i.

    Anyone else experiencing this?

    Better, anyone have a suggested solution?

    Thanks!

    Richard,

    I hope someone else can explain the reasoning better than I, but in short, that is normal and to be expected with 24fps and progressive.

    When shooting in 24fps and/or progressive you MUST make your cameras moves slow and steady.

    Google search the question online and you’ll probably find a good technical explanation, but know that this is normal and not a fault of the camera and you literally just have to deal with it when planning your shots.

    Hope that helps.
    Eric
