Need help with settings on new camera

The thing is, motion blur is part of the look of video. Many video shooters demand a 24 fps frame rate precisely because they feel it gives the "right" motion blur, and higher frame rates and faster shutters with their lesser motion blur are "too videoish" as opposed to "filmic."

I'm simply suggesting that the 180 "rule" is a rule for film with its rotating shutter and not necessarily for digital imaging. And further that one would be well advised to experiment to see the effect of different frame rates and shutter angles on their own footage rather than accepting any "rule" based on a completely different technology. I have certainly found times when a slower shutter was preferable to a wider aperture or higher ISO.
