What frame rate should I shoot video at?

The site doesn't go into choosing a frame rate for a particular look, so I won't pretend it does. What I can give you is the rule I use for setting the shutter. Keep the shutter at about twice the frame rate, so 1/50s at 25 frames a second. That keeps motion looking natural.

Holding that shutter speed in daylight with a wide aperture usually means you need ND filters to cut the light. That's the part people tend to overlook.

For the full list of what I look for in a video camera, see Video.
