and this blog:

Are that if you come from the world of photos going to video:
- When it comes to exposure you're boxed in by FPS. Think about it, if you are shooting 24 fps, the most amount of time any frame of video could get would be 1/24th of second.
- So when it comes to shutter speed, it can't be longer than your fps. It can only be smaller than your fps.
- We're all used to seeing shutter speeds that are at least 1/2 of the fps (as explained nicely in the blog). Going to smaller than 1/2 of the fps make the picture look stuttery (think Gladiator). You never want to go longer than 1/2 fps (too smeary).
- See this Lynda.com blog entry to see another example of less and more than 180 degree shutter.
- So when it comes to me taking video on my DSLR I'll likely choose FPS and its default shutter speed, and the really use aperture and ISO as the variables to get the right exposure.
