You are in PAL, you have to set it in NTSC to have 30/60 fps.

Extract from the manual :

Sets the regional frame rates that your camera uses for recording and

playing back video on a TV/HDTV. Selecting the appropriate option for your

region helps prevent flicker when capturing video indoors.

I just realised that too while I was looking at the Preferences last night. I live in South East Asia and PAL is the standard choice. Thanks for the replies guys!

if you are outside, using NTSC will give you higher frame rates 30/60 vs PAL 25/50, but remember if you live in a "PAL" country and film insdie with florencent lighting, you can get flicker if you have set it to NTSC....

when is 1080/120fps usually used for? I shot today on those settings and when I played it back it was like a slow motion... picture and tone were off... 1080/60 was ok!     ....thnx

Hello,

I have a small question. We will make a trip to Barcelona in the next month and we wanna do a short movie about our trip. Just normal stuff like walking through the city or at the beach. Some timelapse shoots and stuff like that.

What settings would you recommend?

And is it better to film with 30/60fps and turn the fps to 24 in final cut pro or is it better to film directly with 24fps for a movie look?

And I'm sorry for my bad English.

Greetings,

Sebastian

Splice on a iPhone or iPad is pretty awesome and will give you a great video at it if you want to try that. Of course you can also try Quik on Android or Apple.
