You’re not wrong there, and shutter angle is a bit over hyped. It’s a convenience, but not a necessity. If your shutter angle is locked to 180deg, it will automatically adjust your shutter speed for you - when your framerates are adjusted. Useful for people doing a lot of variable framerate work, shooting 24p you get 1/48. Shooting 30p you get 1/60, etc. I agree that I prefer to adjust my framerates manually, as when shooting 120p slowmo of a bird in flight or bee, 1/240 is definitely not fast enough to freeze motion blur, and the slowmo footage will look blurry. So yeah, I’m with you on that.Not sure I understand the big to do over shutter angle. The math is about as simple as it gets. If you want to subsequently increase the frame rate with an interpolator, then a faster shutter will give better results because each frame will be sharper and for that calculation, shutter speed is a better choice than angle.
