Shutter Speed
The arrow buttons next to the shutter display let you change the camera’s shutter speed.
Pressthe up arrow to increase the shutter speed and down to decrease. For general
production use, the shutter speed is typically set to 50, meaning 1/50th of a second, which
produces a pleasing motion blur. If you want crisper images with reduced motion blur, for
example when shooting sport, a faster shutter speed may be preferred.

Blackmagic SmartScope 4K.
