Best camcorder settings for shooting lightning in the day?

I was just wondering which settings would be best for shooting lightning strikes in the day?

I would assume 60i would be the best frame rate, but what about shutter speed? Would a slower shutter or quicker one be better?

I know when I take photos at night I use a super long shutter. Which makes me wonder if 24 fps would also work since I could set the shutter to 1/24, or is the lightning likely to flash between frames since there are less of them?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You will need 60p (progressive) and also a camcorder with global shutter with CCD instead of CMOS chips. I've got the Panasonic HVX200 and it's great for lightning and timelapse too. Im generally using a shutterspeed of 1/50 with framerate of 25p and it looks great. If there is enough light in the scene you can up the shutterspeed to 1/250 but it looks like documentary/videoish.

Global shutter definitely helps. Use as slow a shutter speed as possible and it should be a multiple or fraction of the frame rate, hence, if shooting 60fps, shutter speed can be as low as 30, then 60, 120 etc... the lower the better the results. However, you may need to use ND filters on low shutter speeds.

Thanks for the help guys! That's just what I needed to know!

If you have a camera that can do "over cranking" such as the Sony F700 (240fps) then you can get some pretty cool shots and run them back in slo-mo. You can actually see the lightning searching for the path of the final strike. That is the best during bright daylight. It is also very cool to watch.
