The rolling shutter effect is a common problem with many cameras, especially those that use a CMOS sensor. It causes artifacts in video footage and photos when the camera is recording fast objects.
Rolling shutter occurs when a camera with a CMOS sensor uses one row of pixels at a time, rather than a single global shutter. When light hits the pixel, it will activate that row for a brief amount of time (a fraction of a second). Then, the row below will be exposed. This continues until it reaches the bottom of the pixel array.
How do you fix a rolling shutter?
If your CMOS camera has this rolling shutter problem, you can try shooting in a slow-readout shutter mode (e.g., “silent” mode on most cameras). You can also shoot with a tripod or Steadicam to keep your camera steady and minimize the resulting rolling shutter distortion.
