    Shooting in China with NTSC DVX100A

    Posted by Reddye on June 25, 2006 at 8:26 am

    Hi,

    I’m heading to China to shoot segments for a documentary.

    I’m shooting 24P with a Panasonic DVX100A.

    My question is about shutter speed and light flicker.

    I’m going to be using artificial lights obtained in China. It’s my belief China runs 220V at 50hz. I the US runs 120V at 60Hz.

    I read the info on page 29 of the manual. Should I change the shutter speed to 1/50 to avoid flicker when shooting under artificial Chinese lights? Or leave it at 1/60?

    Any info is truly appreciated for I won’t have the luxury of NTSC monitors in China. I’m not sure I’d see the flicker in the LCD camera monitor.

    Thanks

    There’s no easy fix for this- you may just have to live with it if PAL DVX100 or an NTSC monitor is not in the plan.
