black shading for different frame rates

[Mike Dominic]

Apologies if this has been covered in another thread, but I could not find it...

When you black shade for 24fps, the shutter is usually at 1/48. Then if you want to do some shots at high speed, your shutter changes dramatically and the exposure warning light turns yellow (or orange) to let you know your current exposure is not matching the black shading profile. The same can be said for shooting timelapses with very long exposure times.

How do people deal with this when shooting projects with different frame rates from shot to shot? I'm wondering if there's a convenient way to store two different black shade profiles and switch between them? Or do most people just ignore the yellow warning light?

Thanks for your feedback!
