Shutter angle to exposure time
Estimate exposure duration from a rotary shutter angle and frame rate.
Method and scope
Exposure time = (shutter angle ÷ 360°) ÷ frame rate.
Translate a shutter-angle setting into an exposure time under a constant-frame-rate rotary-shutter model. Intended for Filmmakers, Animators, Learners.
Inputs- Shutter angle — 1
- Frame rate — 1
SOURCE AND LIMITS
Assumptions: Shutter angle represents the fraction of each frame period for which the sensor is exposed. Frame rate and shutter angle remain constant.
Limitations: Electronic cameras may implement shutter settings differently from the ideal rotary-shutter model.
