59.94 greyed out

Hello all!

This is my first post here. Glad to be a member of the community.

I wanted to shoot at 59.94fps with by canon 80D but this option is greyed out and I don't know why. Is it because of some other settings?

thanks

Sometimes it is because you need to be in one of the "advanced" shooting modes, PAS or M. What resolution do you want to set?

Are you in PAL mode?

Does it show up with lower resolutions?

Are you making MOV or MP4?

MOV:
1920 x 1080 (Full HD): 30 fps (29.97 fps) / 24 fps (23.98 fps)

MP4:
1920 x 1080 (Full HD): 60 fps (59.94 fps) / 30 fps (29.97 fps) / 24 fps (23.98 fps)
1280 x 720 (HD): 60 fps (59.94 fps) / 30 fps (29.97 fps)

Aaaah, that was the problem. I thought the resolution was s2 1920 X 1080 2,5 M ... but it was 6000 * 4000

I guess the card cannot record all that info when the resolutio is too high.

I wonder then if it is possible to shoot raw and 59.94fps. I guess you need a card with lots of Gig

Many many thanks!!!

The 80D does not shoot raw movies, only MOV and MP4.

Are you sure? Because I have the option to shoot raw

RAW for photos, but not video.

Hi Dmc233,

Thanks for checking in with us.

I suggest that you check what resolution you are using on your EOS RP. The camera won't be able to shoot at 60 fps when the camera is set to shoot 4K resolution. You can check this in MENU - MOVIE REC. SIZE.

When shooting a time-lapse movie, you will also not be able to shoot at 60 fps, so make sure that feature is disabled, and try doing additional tests.

Have you tried the previous suggestions in this thread?

Is your camera set for NTSC or PAL?
