When in doubt choose 23.98p.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s always worth researching or testing if a camera menu comes with a 24p option only. In such case it is likely the camera has a 23.98p option and is not capable of 24p!<\/p>\n 23.98p (to be more precise 23.976p) is certainly a strange frame rate<\/a> to use but it is more consistent with legacy video equipment that\u2019s in use in NTSC dominated regions like 24p may take over at some point in the future.
