FRAME RATE ON A CANON 50D

[ponino170]

Hi,

I'm writting just to know if it's possible to shoot video in a canon 50d in frame rates of 24 or 25.

In the previous version it was possible to record video but ony al 30fps. Has it been improved with the new ML 2.3?

Sorry about my poor English

Yes, you can use any framerate between 0,25 (that's one frame every four seconds) and 30. It's called FPS override in the movie menu. Higher frame rates are not possible.
When viewing the video on your computer, it will always play at 30 FPS, so a video recorded at 24 FPS will play a little faster while 0,25 FPS gives you a true timelapse. To view it at the right speed, you have to load it into a video editing software and change the framerate there.

Ok. Thank you very much for your answer. I wasn't sure if it was possible to record video at 24 or 25p and
I wanted to know it before installing ML on my camera.

Great answer!!
