180 Degree Shutter – Learn It, Live It, Love It
I’ve received a lot of emails after posting my “How to Setup Your 7D”video tutorial asking what the 180 degree shutter rule is and why it’s so important. To be completely honest, before these Video DSLRs came around I didn’t really understand the principles of the 180 degree shutter rule myself. Video cameras I’ve used in the past always defaulted to a 180 degree shutter automatically so unless I went into the settings to change my shutter speed or frame rate, I was always good to go! However, this all changes withVideo DSLRs hitting the market because they have no preset shutter speeds to rely on and most of the manufacturers of these DSLRs don’t find this rule important enough to make it a primary feature. Therefore, I figured this would be a great opportunity to consolidate a few articles and resources on the web to answer this question once and for all.
