    Hey Guys,

    Getting ready to travel to Asia from US and we want to produce at 29.97p with the F3. Will I have any issues with any interior lighting flickering? Or can I take care of that with the electronic shutter? Should I seriously consider shooting 25fps to account for the power system?

    It’s possible. You could set shutter to multiples of 1/25.

    It may depend on the environments you’re shooting in. It may depend on other video elements you receive. You could edit in 25fps and then just convert the final master to NTSC.

    If you’re really unsure you may want to do a test if you get the chance.
