Shutter Angle: The Devil Is In The Details

[@NivBetsalel]

11:17 The Sony FX30 can shoot beyond 360 degrees, so I assume the FX3 can too. After 360 degrees it turns into 2F, 3F, and so on. I assume that means it exposes for that number of frames, so each additional F is an additional 360 degrees. It's kinda cool actually, can be used for those weird dream sequence effects where everything is blurry and weird looking. Thanks for the wonderful video :)

Ah good to know, thanks!

friend tell me what iso should I use to shoot clothes in a shopping center, if the distance to the object is 2-3m, lens 16mm T1.2 sirui, and what aperture so that everything around and the girl are in focus, camera Gh7? I just wanted to shoot a girl's blog about clothes, I need a monopod, I think she will talk for about 10 minutes at each angle, I think I'll get tired of holding the camera in my hands? Or since I won't be using additional lighting is it better to use a full frame? Will the Gh7 be too noisy when illuminated by the store's lights?

I think the almost always 180° rule applies less than in the past. People are used to the look of smartphones and action cams with much smaller shutter angles and expect less motion blur in action shots. The very short exposure is also important for the e-stabilization because it allows to compensate the rolling shutter distortion within each frame. It might even help the latest Lumix cameras to get even better e-stabilization. I made some tests with heavy vibrations with the G9-II fixed on the bicycle and the results where amazingly good. I have to do more tests with different shutter angles to check if the IBIS is that much better or if they are actually using the e-stabilization like in action cams. On the other hand, I use 360° shutter angle if it is very dark. The human eye sees blurry in this situations anyway and with an F1.4 prime at ISO6400 and 360° the result is usually better and more realistic than ISO12800 and 180°.

Indeed there are times where you want to “break” 180 shutter angle BUT that’s assuming you have 180 as your default. Which it should be. It’s the baseline to make those creative decisions of when to follow and when to do something else. My frustration is simply because MOST “video” cameras don t even include shutter angle as a mode or function. It’s just assumed shutter speed is enough and “let people figure it out” - some may say shutter angle is “confusing” but I think that’s only because we aren’t giving this very useful tool to most shooters over the past 10 years. When you don’t learn it, yes it’s confusing and many think “I don’t need it, what’s the big deal?” And they are indeed “video” cameras. Anything shooting 4K 10bit should have shutter angle at this point as an ADDITIONAL function as well as shutter speed. The “it’s fine” mentality holds us back and creates so many hidden problems behind the scenes. Opens us all up to human error and silly mistakes. Why accept the status quo when the solution is so simple and already available? I’m not telling users to ALWAYS follow the 180 degree shutter angle rule. I’m just asking for the shutter angle function to be included on the cameras from the start.

Love shutter angle 😅Because when I’m in a rush and I’m feeling even the simplest job and I forget about shutter speed is always nice to have shutter angle and that’s something to love about Lumix. recently Sony included total angle in the FX 30, which is very welcome, but I would like to see it more in Sony, Canon, Nikon cameras 😊 thanks for the video very instructive 😊very inspiring. Keep the good work.

It’s really not important anymore at all. The reason it was a standard was because that was what they could do with equipment before. Today, you’re much better off using the same shutter speed if you bump the frame rate up because it keeps the exposure consistent. There is no reason to crank the shutter if you increase the frame rate to 60.

So, I wrote lenghty comments in your other videos about this shutter angle topic, didn't get an answer to my point in this video too. Yes shutter angle should be in every video camera. But, someone enlighten me, how is it possible shuttle angle utilization will provide 180 degree blur under ever-changing lighting conditions, unless camera has auto ND feature to make your frame transition consistently?

Viva shutter angle 🎉

Facts facts facts! Stronz I wanted to ask, if you could point someone to the perfect LUMIX camera for video (and photo where photo isn’t an afterthought) and is full frame which would you recommend in the $2500-$3800 price range? I’ve been away from LUMIX since the GH5 and I’m considering switching back, but being away for so long I have no clue what lumix has made in full frame that has incredible autofocus, the best in body stabilization and ffs SHUTTER ANGLE! 😂 Any recommendations?

[@_tographer]

Lumix S5II all the way. Huge bang for your buck. Finally phase detect autofocus plus all the great lumix features you know and love. It’s an immense value. Used you can find them for around $1500. The only issue can be moire on really tight fabrics and patterns. The S1H is other obvious choice but that’s still pretty expensive considering how old it is: $3000 ish. And it doesn’t have phase detect autofocus so you’re kind of stuck in the past with that one.

[@JeffBourke]

180° at 120 frames? Why? You’re halving the available light.
