I just spent quite a while looking around old posts to find an answer but didn't really get what I was looking for.
I'm fairly new to the canon A1 and am starting to use the 30f mode a lot more. I'm really curious as to what the best setting for shutter speed is for 30f ....and even for 60i while I'm on the topic. Now I know light is a factor but I typically find other ways of working with light than just slowing down the shutter, so let's assume lighting is always optimal or workable and I don't want to change shutter speed during an event...and this will primarily be for shooting weddings.
So visually, what are some of your settings or preferences for shutter speed at 30f or 60i to get the best image. I have been using 60i at 1/60 and have shot 30f at 1/120 but I've seen others set 30f at 1/60. I'm just curious if this is going to be too choppy. Now on the other end, if I set 30f to say, 1/300, do I still get the 30f look or does it become more fluid like 60i ?
Thanks!
