Max Field Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Well every Canon DSLR I've ever used would list 24p but ended up being 23.98, has it been different with the Sony DSLRs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin R Probyn Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Thats what Im wondering.. they use Canon 5D Mk III.. which seems to only have 24p as a choice.. but their frame rate requirement says 23.98p.. wonder if Sony is the same..

Max Field Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I had a friend with a cheaper Sony NEX-5 or something and I remember his footage being 23.98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Drysdale Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Use Mediainfo to check the frame rate on the recorded video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Field Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Wait... I assumed you didn't have the camera in hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin R Probyn Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 I have to admit I did.. but I don't know much at stills/video cameras.. I had used it in 25p only a couple of times.. but didnt know if the 24p was actually 23.98p.. hadn't thought to shoot a clip and look at the metadata .. I don't edit either .. if thats any sort of excuse :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Keith Walters Posted March 2, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted March 2, 2018 I've never found a "24 fps" consumer camera that actually produces 24.00 fps, it's always 23.98. I suspect it's simply because 23.98 isn't going to mean anything to the average punter. Some HD TVs can handle true 24.00fps, but most are only comfortable with 23.98, which is what comes out of Blu-Ray players offering "24fps" Then again, manufacturers seem to have no problem using incomprehensible lens sizes such as 1/2.6" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin R Probyn Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 I had the a6300 HD XAVC S clip passed for broadcast from the US prod co.. as a B camera.. I believe the files are the same as the A7 series.. but they are FF camera,s and the a6300 is APS-C.. but thats the same as my F5 anyway.. The new A7III looks good ..might be my first FF camera for gimbals..B cam etc Ive avoided DSLR type camera,s them as an A cam.. but I can see they have uses for gimbals..
