Rolling shutter issues?

[Ryan Hamblin]

Has any one had rolling shutter wobble on long lenses ? I will try to get a clip up from my DP ASAP.

With high frequency and amplitude vibration its conceivable on a very long lens. I don't often shoot over 200-300mm, but often do that handheld or just on a monopod without much trouble. I think I've seen hints of it where someone has clattered the tripod mid shot, but never in regular action.

I was involved in a quick test on this. Yes, there is rolling shutter with fast movements with long lenses. I would not say it is to the point of shutter wobble though.

The tests we did were with the Epic...I dont think the rolling shutter would be different...anyone confirm?

it's nowhere near the wobble that you'd get shooting handheld with a non-is lens on a Canon dslr, if that's what you mean. How long is the lens in question? Canon mount? Most likely you'll be on rails, with some sort of shoulder mount or hand grips, which stabilize even more, and if you're shooting Canon lenses, you can get a 70-200 with I.S. (image stabilization) and that will help substantially as well.

I was told by graeme that scarlet and epic rolling shutters readout speeds (and skew) will be identical.

Ok, well in that case, yeah, you wont have problems with rolling shutter wobble and jello-ing. But you may get slightly noticeable rolling shutter with really fast pans while using a long lens.

Thats exactly where it came into play. never gross jello, but quick pans on a 120mm and straight lines start to do the wave. Good to know. Cant see it at all on a 50mm. Just so I dont scare anyone. it was a short I was directing the past couple days and we had a crowd scene after an exposion extras running around... me riding a skateboard with main actress being followed in profile through the crowd. The actual tracking shots showed know real rolling shutter... just on tripod before the shots when we were goofing off.
