When you are just getting started with a 4K video it can be a little intimidating. This is why it’s important to know more about the image quality and frames per second that the camera captures. The quality of a picture is defined by its resolution and frame rate. Video is a series of still images that when viewed in order at a certain speed give the appearance of motion. Each of those images is called a “frame.”
Frame rate is the speed at which those images are shown, or how fast you flip through the book. This is called “frames per second” or FPS. So, when we say a video is captured and played back at 24fps, it means each second of the video consists of 24 distinct still images.
4K, also known as Ultra High Definition (UHD) has 4 times more pixels than Full HD picture quality. In UHD the image is 4096 pixels wide and 2160 pixels high. Today it’s possible to capture 4K with compact, mirrorless, and SLR cameras too.
Now coming to your question, 4K can be captured in both 30 or 60 frames per second to get a more immersive feel while watching videos. However, 60fps is preferred over 30fps as you can capture twice the data and creates a much smoother flow. There is no right or wrong selection for choosing resolution and frame rate. Both these parameters should be based on your needs.
As a professional videographer or creator, it’s important to understand what would impress the audience and evoke the emotions that you want.
