Non-Drop or Drop Frame?
Going to film my short this weekend. Canon Canada generously lent me a 5D body until I find out why my camera has the image stutter.
I'm recording audio to a separate 744 multi-track. Does anyone know for sure if the 5D records 30P, non-drop frame? t |

Hi Tony, your camera doesn't record 'timecode' - in other words, your problem is a non-issue. If you run a 744, as a general rule, don't select drop frame except for (very) specific situations. You'll have to sync via slate ( clapper board ).

29.97 can be drop frame or non-drop frame. The Canon shoots exactly 30p, so there are no frames to drop. (But it is not 29.97 non-drop frame; it's 30.00 fps.)

Thanks for the replies. I'm a little (o.k. a lot) confused. So should I tell my audio guy to record non-drop on his 744? We'll be shooting the slate with time code and clapping for sync.

If the menus only offer 30 drop and 30 non-drop, then by 30, they mean 29.97. Again, use drop-frame, if that's the situation.
