Shutter Measurement
Select whether to display shutter information as 'shutter angle' or 'shutter speed'. When using
shutter angle, the shutter conforms to the frame rate. When using shutter speed, the shutter is
given an absolute, real time value and isn't connected to your frame rate.
For example, when using a shutter speed of 1/48th of a second, motion blur will remain
consistent regardless of the frame rate as the measurement is always the same in real time.
Alternatively, a shutter angle of 180 degrees is directly applied to each frame, and therefore
influenced by the amount of frames recorded each second. This means motion blur will vary
based on the frame rate you are using.
It's worth mentioning the minimum shutter speed value corresponds to the frame rate. This
means 1/24th of a second is the minimum available shutter speed when shooting at 24p and
1/50th is the minimum shutter speed available for 50p.
Flicker Free Shutter based On
Use this setting to change the mains power frequency your camera uses to calculate flicker free
shutter settings.
When shooting under lights, your shutter can affect the visibility of flicker. Your Blackmagic Studio
Camera automatically calculates a flicker free shutter value for current frame rate and suggests up
to three shutter values. Shutter values are affected by the frequency of local mains power supply
used to drive those lights. In most PAL countries, the frequency is 50Hz, while NTSC countries
typically use 60Hz power. Tap '50Hz' or '60Hz' to set the frequency for your region.
Image Stabilization
Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Plus and 4K Pro has an 'image stabilization' option to enable or
disable image stabilization on lenses without a physical switch.
Timecode Drop Frame
Use the 'timecode drop frame' option to use drop frame timecode when using NTSC project
frame rates of 29.97 and 59.94. Drop frame timecode skips a small number of frames from the
timecode at set intervals. This keeps your project timecode accurate despite each second not
containing a whole number of frames at NTSC frame rates.
