FDR-AX33 stuttering movie when filmed in 4k

[puttekula]

Hi all.

Quite new to video shooting. Just bought a AX33 and when I film in 4k mode the film stutters when I pan the camera. All settings unchanged. In HD mode the stutter is gone.

Thx, Peter

Hi Peter, welcome to the Sony UK Community 

I imagine you are shooting at 24p? It will always show a degree of judder during fast pans. If you shoot at 60p it should solve the problem. HD Mode probably shoots at a higher frame rate by default, hence the lack of panning issues.

Cheers

Hi Mick and thx .

I have only 25p to choose at 4K. Is that so with all 4K cameras?

Hi @puttekula

There are several threads available on this forum regarding the '4K stutter' and also on the internet (Google it),

it is also apparent on the FDR-AX53 and the FDR-AX100. I cannot verify if it is so on the relatively new FDR-AX700.

I don't think there has been any solution to this other than to either pan slowly or use a tripod !

Here are a couple of threads to check out:
