I live and work in PAL-land (mostly) but I have a client wanting me to shoot a project in 24P - we will be travelling to the location and the client will bring a DVX-100a 24P camera with him - so I have no chance of hands on beforehand (can only see the PAL version here).
Looking at the manual, I see that the standard shutter for the 24P set up is 1/50th.
Normally for 60i the standard shutter is 1/60, but shooting at 1/50th would be great to compensate for 50Hz lighting (and usually unavailable so we get stuck with 1/100th with nearly a whole stop lost).
But my guess is that 1/50th @ 24P is correct to compensate for 60 Hz lighting - am I correct?
If so, has anybody had experience shooting 24P in PAL-land? And if so, what shutter speeds work to compensate for the 50 Hz sine fluorescent and other light sources. And then what about different scans on computer monitors? (This client is a technology client so fluorescent available light spaces with computers will be big in the story!)

p.s. 25P is not an option.
