The title won’t make sense if I don’t explain as I barely understand the basics. I have recently learned about the rolling shutter effect from this video:
I have seen several posts here on reddit illustrating what happens when the camera shutter is the same as for example the blades of a helicopter. I get that the blades appear to not move but why I don’t get is why the blades aren’t frozen and also bent as seen in the rolling shutter effect.
Example of helicopter blades for example:

The rolling shutter effect is only visible in certain conditions. Some more expensive cameras have a global shutter option instead of a rolling shutter. And whith a global shutter you do not get the rolling shutter effect. Another way to get rid of the rolling shutter effect is to increase the shutter speed so there is less movement in the frame as the rolling shutter is moving across it. So it is quite likely that they have used camera settings that does not show the rolling shutter effect when filming the helicopter blades. Either they are using equipment with a global shutter or they are filming it on a bright day with a faster shutter so the effect is not so visible.
