24P what are the best shutter speeds to work with in General?

[Silton Buendia]

To avoid rolling shutter as much as possible?

A safe shooting tip is to always shoot double the frame rate. So for 24p since theres not a 48 shutter. Set you shutter to 50 or higher. For rolling shutter avoid quick pans and you'll be fine.

You know.. I keep hearing this, and I just can't make it happen... How fast do you have to pan?

[Mitchell Yazdani]

I believe not too fast or too slow, it has to be medium speed pan so you can notice it.
Please some one correct me if I am wrong.

I've heard 5-8 seconds, that's the fastest stuff can move across the screen and still give a nice pan. There's also the theory that if the viewer has a subject to focus on, you can pan faster because the viewer won't notice as much.

If you can get a hold of the American Cinematographer's Manual, it has a really nice chart on recommended panning speeds for 24p in 35mm. Unfortunately my copy is buried in a moving box somewhere, but I've been meaning to find it and do a conversion for the 5DMarkII and 7D.

And I wonder if the 24p recommended panning speeds will help to alleviate some of the rolling shutter problems, not all obviously, but some.

When I do freeze frames from my videos where I am panning significantly faster than this, I just don't see the issue. Wall edges look straight, and I just don't see these rolling shutter problems.

Maybe I just don't know what I'm doing and can't make it happen.
