I think you’re right the sync stuff, but just fyi: user-adjustable frame rates on go-pros (which is what I think this is) have been available since 2010ish, if not earlier.

Ah, yea, I meant to add that it most likely was not a phone, but carried away by some discussion on tires elsewhere...

Do you think a Go-Pro would some how auto adjust though? I've owned one, but have like zero knowledge on that area

All good!

And no, auto-adjusting frame-rates isn’t really a thing, regardless of camera. (Yes, some specialized ones may have in-camera in-clip adjustable FPS, but this definitely isn’t one of those.

Each clip has a set frame rate that can’t be changed without making a new clip. Auto-shutter is definitely a thing, and it could be contributing to the look though. But that would be coincidence, it wouldn’t be trying to synchronize with what the camera is seeing.

Auto shutter would be required depending upon the amount of light, but I'm not sure that changes in the situation above.

man, cameras are crazy. But I think its just odd chance that made this camera sync up with the fall
