Filming In A 50Hz Country From 60 Hz Country Recommended Settings

Living in Canada and having NTSC T.V. and 60Hz electricity with cameras set for this, when you travel to another country with PAL and 50Hz do you set your camera to PAL or leave it in NTSC 29.97 fps and try to match shutter speeds to avoid light flickers from fluorescent light sources. I'm traveling to Australia and New Zealand soon and thought I would ask.

I always run into this issue going to germany, especially outdoor night shooting with street posts.

I usually just shoot at a less than 1/50 shutter, this helps get rid of it most of the time.

I've had it where I'm in aquariums and the lighting they use creates a slow 'roll' across the screen. It's a dark line that travels from top to bottom over a period of a few seconds. Sometimes noticeable and ruins the shot, sometimes not.

I've never tried to go to PAL...

Yes the regular lights you can work around with shutter speed but I have had problems with LED Christmas lights where I couldn't get totally rid of the black band. I have been doing research and this plugin seems to save some out of synch lights in video https://www.digitalanarchy.com/Flicker/main.html

I'm tempted to stick with NTSC as it is more saleable? As selling stock clips the U.S. Is the largest market.

I'm not sure what frame rate / fps is more sell-able. Recently I've been shooting more 24fps, seems that's the television standard that they are looking for.

Interesting I have only delivered 29.97 for stock, on the principle that 29.97 can be slowed to 24 / 25p successfully if needed. I think I'm going to stick with NTSC 60 Hz in Oz and only change if I run into problems with night shooting.

Checkout RED's homepage. There is a calculator for such situations. Of course you have to have a more PRO camera where you can adjust the SHUTTER ANGLE.

Thanks I have seen that, I have a BMPCC

Maybe I'm missing something , but shutter angle IS shutter speed. It's just a different way of quantifying the amount of time the exposure is taken based on what shutter speed you are shooting at.

HUmmm ... maybe a camera like the Canon 1DX MK II or 5D MK IV which has flicker eliminator menu choice. Probably more for photos.

I think Flickr eliminator is to stop you posting to social media:D

Shutter Angle has more adjustment (accuracy), than still camera shutter speeds especially on Red cameras
