Is the "Shutter off" on the HPX500 180 deg. or 360 deg. ?

anyone know for sure?

It'll be 360 degree, as there will be no shutter involvement. 180 degree will be On at half your frame rate, ie 1/60th at 30P.

Hey Giuseppe,
Steve is correct. In the specs OM_AG-HPX500.pdf Page 146 the off shutter rates are published.
60i =1/60th
30P= 1/30
24P= 1/24
25P=1/25

I would not shoot most of my footage in progressive with the Off shutter speed. Half the frame rate is where I would start unless I had to push something or there is not much motion
