24P Technical Whitepaper

Post by Paramvir Singh »

The advent of 24P offers an important new acquisition tool to the cinematographer. Video cinematographers, however, are trying to adapt to a lingua franca of the film community and to operational practices long-honed in the film world. The film cinematographer, on the other hand, is trying to decipher published performance specs that are still in “video” language. It is useful, therefore, to begin our Technical Seminar series with an expose on the most fundamental aspect of any camera – namely, its sensitivity. Called Exposure Index by the film community, the sensitivity of the camera relates to its ability to capture quality pictures under a wide variety of scene lighting conditions.
The good news for all cinematographers is that the 24P camcorder is very sensitive. In film terms, it will be shown to have an effective Exposure Index (EI) range that endows a single 24P camera with the combined equivalency of very slow speed, medium speed, and high speed 35mm motion picture film.
