Q2 EVF Frame Rate

Hello,

I’ve recently purchased a Q2 and have been setting it up.  I’m curious what setting you’re all using for the EVF frame rate?

Looking online, it seems that this setting was described as follows: “A Variable EVF frame rate menu was added, enabling users to choose between 60fps or 120 fps. For fast moving subjects set 120 fps for a more fluid display of movement (with lower resolution) or choose 60 fps for full resolution.”  Does using 120 fps significantly lower the resolution? 

Thanks,

Tom

I think that this one is about “ judge for yourself “. The numbers cannot indicate what visual effect of the viewfinder fits your preferences.

Just choose 120 fps no real downside

Thanks both. While I appreciate this is a matter of personal preference, I was curious to hear others’ insights.

I read in a review that 120 fps may hit the battery a lot.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. When you select 120, the screen resolution drops noticeably. To see this, try opening the aperture and focusing on jeans or some other fine-meshed surface. You will also get moire if set to 120. That's why I usually use 60.

At least on Q3 43 the difference is very noticeable
