Re: Official Canon EOS R5 Mark II Images & Specifications
In the past it was best to shoot with a 180 degree shutter so that frames blend together well and show a nice smooth motion image. Since exposure times are long and often the lens is wide open for DOF, it was often necessary to use ND filters. That meant extracting frames to make still photos yielded motion blurred images. Today it is possible to shoot with short shutter speed and then digitally smooth the frames in the video processing. I use DaVinci Resolve Studio that has multiple sophisticated methods to achieve that (I think they are in the free version too) and the results look excellent. Stabilization in post processing is also often commonly done and shooting with shorter shutter speeds is desirable to avoid artifacts in the stabilized video. The fact that shorter shutter speeds can and often are used in video capture makes extraction of still frames more practical. I shoot wildlife video with relatively short shutter speeds (I don't use ND filters and I often stabilize in post) and can extract stills from 4K or 8K video clips. They are quite usable for many purposes. I consider that to be "non-bench, real world shooting".
Of course if you are shooting video for the single purpose of extracting stills, obviously you would use the same settings you would use for shooting stills.
Do you mind sharing your approach with DaVinci Resolve to smooth out inter-frame transitions with short shutter speeds? I use the Studio version with log files from OM-1mk2 and A1 but still learning the extensive Resolve features. Thanks!
