FPS question?

x5yo · Dec 30, 2016

Does the X5R do 30 FPS @ UHD (3840x2160) or 29.97FPS?

I'm confused as inside the app it says 30 FPS.
When I bring the DNG sequence onto the auto composition panel it says 30 FPS.

But on the DJI spec page it says, 29.97, I have also read you should export the video as 29.97.

Not sure if makes much of a difference, but I would like to draw a line under this if anyone knows for sure.

Thanks

It is 29.97 FPS.

While I know of one camera that will do 24.000 fps (Panasonic GH4), I don't know of any cameras that do 30.000 FPS.

So 29.97 and 23.976 are the actual frame rates, and "30 FPS" and "24 FPS" are just common approximations.

I think the Arri Alexa SXT Plus will (and obviously the Phantom Flex line) but a bit out of scope for this forum.
