When diving into videography with your favorite digital camera \u2014 whether that\u2019s a Canon DSLR or a mirrorless offering \u2014 you\u2019ll have some decisions to make about the frame rate you\u2019re going to record at. If you\u2019re planning to eventually export your final projects at 24fps or 30fps (the former being your most cinematic choice), shooting at 60fps or higher offers some interesting possibilities for your project, but also a few workflow issues.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s explore the five things you need to know about shooting at 60fps or higher in your video projects.<\/p>\n

1. Know Your Pixel Drop-Offs<\/h3>\n

Camera technology is\u00a0advancing at crazy rates. What once seemed unthinkable has now become the norm: ridiculously high-quality recording at high frame rates. Panasonic\u2019s new GH5, for example, actually offers 4K recording at 60fps, while other comparable cameras offer high definition where they hadn\u2019t before.<\/p>\n

So, when looking at your camera\u2019s settings,\u00a0check your pixel drop-offs. For example, here are your drop-offs for the Sony a7S II, which shows pixel recording sizes at different frame rates. If you\u2019re going to record at 60fps (or in this case, up to 120fps), your drop-off is going to still be HD at 1920 x 1080p.<\/p>\n
