Regarding Shutter Speed
I am shooting in HD - 720p on HVX202. Normally, the camera default shutter speed is 1/24. If I shoot in low light, and am using tripod, I can reduce the shutter speed to 1/12 - the lowest speed it will go.
Questions - a) How does 1/12 speed affect the motion of objects recorded on camera? b) Does it affect the "slow and fast motion" performance of the camera? c) Compared with "Gain Control" - which is better? Increase gain or reduce the shutter by 1 stop? I know Auto Focus will be slower - but, I am using mostly MF - so that's a non-issue for me. |

Anything lower slower will look very soft with any kind of motion. Whenever I have to shoot in low-light the lower I would go is 1/24th with 6 db gain. If at that setting you get proper exposure then you would get a good image without grain (noise). The HVX likes over exposure(1/2 f tops) better than under exposure. |

1/12 shutter = no noise, but blurrier motion Your choice. |
Thanks for the reply. I did some experiments just now. At 1/12 second, even panning at a very slow speed, I can see the image jumps - not smooth. Looks like I have to abandon 1/12 second shutter and stick to 1/25 (PAL) as the slowest I will go then.
