There isn’t much you can do to get rid of rolling shutter artifacts, but there are a few tricks that can help ease the pain.
Here’s the video:
Takeaways
Remember, rolling shutter is not bad, it’s the slow sensor readout that causes the skew or artifact.
Follow these steps to mitigate rolling shutter artifacts:
- Shoot in APS-C mode over full frame mode.
- For 1080p work, increase the frame rate to 50/60p or 100/120p. But remember, this results in a loss in resolution and results in files that are worse for color grading.
- For 4K, shoot at 30p.
- When panning, try to pan right to left. If camera is static, try to get motion from left to right.
- Use wide angle lenses whenever possible.
Things that DON’t HELP:
- Changing the shutter speed either up or down DOES NOT HELP.
- Using a tripod or SteadyShot DOES NOT HELP.
- Tilting the camera DOES NOT HELP.
- Lowering the frame rate DOES NOT HELP.
