When shooting a 24fps project and needing to slow down parts of it,  does it matter if I shoot the intended footage to slow down at 60fps or 120fps? Can 60fps footage be used with either a 24fps or 30fps project and can 120fps be used with either a 24fps or 30fps project? 

 

Thanks.

Short answer - yes, all OK.

Cleanest high speed conversion to chosen project frame rate will always be a direct multiple of the frame rate, but modern editing systems are very very good at converting images so you can pretty much shoot whatever you want and get away with it to some extent.
Just note that, depending on your particular camera, if you are say shooting 24fps (NTSC mode) in HD 1080p, then 120fps might only be 720p, whereas 60fps will still be 1080p.

 

edit:  just checked the specs for the A7SII... noted it does record 1080p at 120fps... nice!

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
