Hey Rob,
That is a loaded question. If the Aircraft is sitting on a table with motors off and taking a photo of something that is not moving like a bowl of fruit then, there is no lower limit. However if it sitting on a table and taking a photo where the subject has significance movement (Plant swaying in the breeze) then there would be blur even at a reasonable shutter speed. The still photo rule of thumb to avoid blur in a hand held photo of a non moving subject. is to choose a shutter speed that is the reciprocal of 2 times the 35mm focal length of the lens being used. The Phantom 4 has 20mm {equivalent) lens so one may assume that 1/40 shutter speed is at the lower end. So this can imply that if the phantom is stationary (hovering) and there is little movement or the Phantom is far enough away from the subject then 1/40 may suffice. To add to this, it is widely recommended that video should be shot with a shutter speed of the reciprocal of 2 times frame rate. As an example 1/60 of a second is recommended for shooting at 30 frames per second. this is to INSURE that there is a bit of natural motion blur in your video. As with everything, I recommend that you go out a shoot photos using a wide range of shutter speeds and note the difference. For me, I will hyave my Phanto to shoot stills at a high enough shutter speed to insure a crisp still photo, and I will shoot video with a shutter speed that is low enough to look natural. (1/60 @ 30FPS) (1/120 @ 60FPS) etc. |
