Focal length & Stabilization
  • stoneystoney
    In photo there seems a simple rule for minimum shutter speed (SS). Just an inverse of focal length. e.g. 1/50 SS for 50mm lens.

    For 2x crop sensor, I guess a recommended minimum SS would be twice faster. e.g. 1/100 SS for 50mm. Or roughly 1.85 times faster for 16:8 ratio.

    If we use 1/60 SS for video, focal length longer than 35mm would need more stabilization... I guess. Or am I utterly wrong about this?

    IMO In photo this rule is to have good sharpness, it is not the same problem with video, where stabilization is more about avoiding handshaking
