[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 540976, member: 12496"] "frame rate" is the speed of the still picture Continuous shutter burst rate. This is not related to movies. 1080/60p is instead about movie mode, and 60p is 60 frames per second (of an extremely smaller 1920x1080 pixel frame). So the longest shutter speed possible of 60 frames per second is 1/60 second. We could instead select 30i and 1/30 second, but otherwise, video shutter cannot be slower (not if taking 30 or 60 pictures per second). If the light is strong, we can use a faster shutter speed with 30i or 60p, but not slower. Video quality is about the compression rate selected. Some Nikon cameras offer two quality selections, High is 24 mbps, and Normal is 12 mpbs (megabits per second). Normal is still very good. As a comparison, broadcast television (on the air) stations are often around 15 mbps, but cable TV is often much less, perhaps half of that rate and quality in many cases. [/QUOTE]
