I tried the 25fps on a 50 hz TV - still the same... If there is a conversion going on then I do not know about it... The firmware issue was that of another user on this forum (daniel) - I got this camera just about 10 days back from a previous owner. I am not sure if the previous owner got the firmware updated before he gave it to me...

The monitor is a computer screen with 60hz native. I tried a different computer screen with 50 hz native but the problem persists. It does get a bit smoother at 60hz with 60 fps footage but a large amount of strobing/stuttering still exists. Would it be gone if I use an LCD TV screen instead of a computer screen or is it necessary to go in for PGM monitors?

Thank you for the response... Really appreciate it... What is the 'camera's scan rate'? I am viewing the footage on a 60hz (hp 3065) monitor via adobe premiere cs6. I shot footage on 25fps as well as 29.97 (30 fps) on the camera if that is what you mean by the camera's scan rate. I placed the 30 fps footage on a 30 fps preset timeline and the 25 fps footage on a 25 fps preset in premiere. The stuttering occurs on both frame rates. Is there anything else that I must do (or not do) ?

I just bought a used red1 mx camera and found out that it has the same issue of strobing in all shots where anything moves within the frame (even when the camera is fixed). I tried all shutter speeds and all bitrates, did the black shading too but nothing has worked. Even changed the lens mount and tried on a different lens :( I am not sure if my problem is related to any firmware upgrade or not because I have not upgraded the firmware and I am not sure if the previous owner did that. I have an urgent shoot coming up in 2 days and I am stuck with this problem. Would appreciate if you or anybody else on this forum could respond fast.
