Hi guys!
I've been reading in quite a few posts how many people are asking for 24/25p support, primarily for preventing flicker effects in Europe (25p).
However, shooting @ 30fps you CAN prevent flicker in both 60 and 50Hz electrical systems. It's just a matter of shooting at a shutter speed that's equal or a multiple of the electrical system's frequency. The problem is not the frame rate, but the shutter speed. We need to be able to control the shutter speed in order to prevent flicker,even when shooting 30fps in a 60Hz electrical system.
Best regards,
Salvador
