As a wedding filmmaker who deals with a ton of different and often dark lighting conditions, I've learned there's only 2 ways to adjust light - add more, or take it away. Either take away using Aperture, ND filters, or turn the studio light down - or turn the light up, or stop up the aperture - DON'T touch the ISO - it adds noise to your footage. If shooting LOG footage, get correct exposure using zebras or false colors, then overexpose to taste to make sure your shadows aren't noisy. If you want to shoot handheld, make the camera heavier - I rigged out my camera with a cage, top handle, side handle, mic, and monitor - instantly made my handheld footage look professional, rather than amateur and shaky.

NTSC and PAL are 30fps and 25fps respectively, not 24 and 25. It comes from the 50Hz and 60Hz AC power in different regions, as you mentioned. 24fps came from cinema framerates; it was one of the lowest framerate that still allowed for truly smooth motion, saving expensive film. It stuck around to this day 🤷🏻‍♂️

@rcfalcon56MkII 7 ай бұрын

24 fps is normally what film was shot at, therefore it's termed "cinematic". NTSC video was shot at 30 fps due to our power grid functioning at 60 HZ. The European grid runs at 50HZ so that's why their frame rate is different. In the days of analog TV, the video signal was split into two fields. As cathode ray tube screens had an electron gun (for B&W) or three (RGB) for color, these guns fired electrons at the screen in lines. Hence the old term lines of resolution. One field was for the odd lines and the other for the even lines. These were interlaced so the image on the screen was a coherent image. Today's video outputs are much different as they are digital, but we still have legacy interlacing in some formats such as 720i (interlaced). However, the frame rates still hold true. 30fps is very much like the old analog video in appearance though sensor type plays a role too, while 24fps is considered "cinematic" as it mimics the analog film frame rate. I often shoot at 30fps because that's what I'm used to having worked in the TV broadcast industry for many years.

@mastermike7000 7 ай бұрын

A note about shutter speed: if you're doing handheld on-the-go vlogging and you don't have a camera with exceptionally good stabilization or a gimbal, you're probably better off using a far higher shutter speed than 1/48s. Although it'll look less "cinematic" than with a 1/48s shutter, if you want to stabilize vlog footage in post it'll look smeary and weird with a low shutter speed. Personally I'd rather have crisp footage in that scenario than cinematic motion blur that will look distracting when stabilised.

@michalkubecek 7 ай бұрын

My experience is that the "180° rule" should not be taken as a universal rule but rather as a workaround for the fact that 24-30 fps playback rate is not sufficient to create an illusion of a smooth motion. Once you play back at 60 fps or even more, you can get away with higher shutter speeds without motion looking jittery, unless the motion is extremely fast. An exception is a slow motion video taken at 60 or 120 fps but played at 24 or 30 fps without any resampling. There the "180° rule" still applies. A special case is a video which is shot at 60 or 120 fps and resampled 24 or 30 fps (but not slow motion, i.e. played at natural speed). This depends on how smart the resampling software is. If it does the most trivial conversion by skipping extra frames, you are in trouble and even sticking to the "180° rule" may not help as you cannot use shutter speed slower than (shooting) frame rate. If the software is smarter and combines multiple input frames into one output frame, it can create an effect similar to the motion blur coming from the "180° rule".

@@timgurr1876 That's a historic name for the rule to use shutter speed of twice the frame rate. The name is based on old film cameras which used rotating circular shutters with an angle open and the rest opaque so that the angle corresponds to how much time the shutter is open for each frame. E.g. for 24 fps, 1/48s would be 180° (half of the full angle), 1/96s would be 90° (a quarter), 1/120s would be 72° (one fifth) etc.

@geekinthegarden3927 6 ай бұрын

24fps is the movie rate and that it's called NTSC (rather than NSTC) which is 30fps due to the mains frequency being 60Hz. There is a lot more to the NTSC/PAL/SECAM than just the frame rates. The standards cover the transmition of analogue video signalsincluding the audio, chroma and luminance as well as the frame rate and resolution of the image. Now that traansmition is all digital these standards aren't used and only the framerates linger as a memory of years gone by.

Nite to know: While a film camera records 24 different frames each second, A film projector displays 48 frames per second. They show the same frame twice with a short gap (black screen). Thus the perceived flicker is at 48 Hz and not visible. At 24 frames per second, the flickering would be very, very annoying.

Tip: if you really want to shoot video and pull some still frames out after, shoot high frame rate. At 120fps you'll be using 1/250 shutter speed and maybe that's good enough to get a couple sharp frames each second. Not a substitute for a good photo, unless your camera is a beast and can record 4k@120fps.

Regarding grabbing a still from video: a lot of cameras nowadays include some kind of "pre shot" system, where you shoot burst to fill your camera buffer after which it keeps overwriting the oldest frame. When you release the shutter, you keep the last X seconds of photos. For shots where timing is essential but that are hard to predict, like a bird taking off from a branch, this helps a lot!

Fun addon to the last tip: For many cameras, when you hit the shutter in video mode the camera will record a jpeg instead of a raw, at the resolution that the camera is set to record. So, if I am in 4k30, and I press the shutter down I'll get an 8.3mp jpeg. The kicker here is that it uses whatever shutter speed you have set, and records photos at the frame rate. This means that my Z50, in video mode, can write 30, 8.3mp JPEG images per second to the memory card. I can also drop down to 1080@120fps, and flood the memory card with 120, 2.1MP JPEGS per second. The only time i've found this useful was when watching a Violet-Green Swallow preening itself in the middle of the day, where I could use a high shutter speed to freeze the motion. You have to take care and make sure what you see in the liveview is what you want from the image though, since with such a small jpeg, you don't really have any leeway for editing.

@AnotherOtherMan-alive 7 ай бұрын

Some other video tips. For handheld, ad a slight sway into your motion by drawing an infinity around the subject. The allows you to control any smaller jittery motion by overwriting it with the sway (note it is subject/focal length dependant, test on your own time). Also the closer to the camera that body part is the smaller the motion should be, this will allow for much smoother motion without the need for gimbals (note most people spend money on gimbals when they don't need them, if you need the absolute smooth they offer than that is up to you). While 24(technically 23.97 but thats a side point) is the cinema standard. It was mainly chosen as the bare minimum for use with sound to save ass much literal footage of film as possible. You can shoot at 30 frames if your doing vlog style content with out issue or 60 if you've got some action camera footage you want played back at normal speed. It depends on the type of content you're trying to produce. The shutter speed rule still applies, though it can also be refereed to as shutter angle (a hold-over from the film only era). Lastly, think of video moments in terms of 'beats', this may help you think with time in mind.

@Pfagnan 7 ай бұрын

I agree with AnotherOtherman. 24fps is sometimes too choppy so I always use 30fps for KZfaq videos as it gives you more frames to work with and is smoother than 24 to do with the Hertz in North America I think. It also capture fast motion and panning in scenes better. Many videographers now use this as it still maintains motion-blur and 180 degree rule but is smoother as there are 6 more frames. I don’t know why Simon doesn’t even mention it. (I am a tv Producer) Otherwise GREAT video as usual!!

Here's another parallel between camera work and marksmanship. You can't hold a firearm absolutely still without a support, so you try to control the inevitable movement. In fact, I remember one shooting coach telling me to try to limit the movement to a figure 8, which is obviously very similar to the infinity symbol. Shutter press and trigger pull are also similar. Even the stances and the way you brace a camera using your body is similar to the way you hold a firearm.

Thankfully good resources here on KZfaq (of course) were a big help - and still are, Simon :D I quickly LOVED the exposure flexibility of not being married to a fixed shutter speed!

One can certainly use the R5's 8k video to extract still frames in ways that are useful. You first need to ensure that your subject isn't moving too quickly. Many times we are photographing birds, etc that are perched so slowly moving, so this is your call to take 8k video. Of course you have to ensure a useful exposure. This is where the Meike EF-RF ND adapter comes in (which also means you need to be using an EF lens, which many of us have). Use that to control your exposure. It goes from no stops to several (I don't remember the max off the top of my head). So you get your 8k video and 24 fps. I like to do birds bathing and such, but they eventually stop moving for brief moments. So I just scroll through my 8k video until I find a sharp frame and extract it and others that I consider a good still. They come out in 16:9 format (that of your video) and are 32MP in resolution It works great and makes 8k video useful and also allows me to get 8k that I could put on youtube if I desired. I don't generally do that because not many folks have 8k devices to view on. However, you can extract 4k videos from the 8k one, making for a nice punch-in feature, which also can be very useful to get a zoomed in version of a scene, like having a teleconverter on your lens. The R5 is great at short form video at 8k. Actually, 4k120 slo-mo is much more taxing and will quickly get your R5 hot. :) Thanks for the video!!!

Aha! I didn't know there were ND filters built into the EF to RF adapters, that is a very cool tip! I'm sticking with my older DSLR for now, but that is an interesting additional feature, and the camera's high framerates and resolutions are impressive.

@@MaximilianonMars if/when you move to ML, keep a EF lens or two or three to use for video! I kept several, not for that purpose, but because I didn't want to replace them. Now, because of the adapters with built-in NDs, they are very useful for video.

Hello Simon. I do use the video option with the Canon R6M2. This mostly with the red-panic button when I do not have the time to make the settings in the videomode. Also I do not use the c-log3 as for now I use the licence free version from Davinci resolve. In video mode I shoot mostly on 25 frames 4k in PAL. For me both give a good image and can be edit in Davinci Resolve. Greatings Leo Lengton

At 02:41. It is not called NSTC but NTSC Easy to remember: Never The Same Color 🙂 This indicates that PAL is a superior system.

Thanks for this. I will be in the market for my first mirrorless camera soon that will be primarily for still photography of landscapes and nature. KZfaq is full of camera reviews that are mainly about the video side and still photography is an afterthought if discussed at all. This information will help me make an informed decision regarding what to look for.

Thanks for one more nice informative vid. Whenever I watch your videos, I feel like take my camera, hope into the car/bike and move out of city (despite of busy schedule...!) 😀

Great video with awesome info! I've been dabbling with video lately and this is perfect! Can you do a video one day on the editing and creation of a short video and software suggestions? Keep up the great work!

Perfect timing Simon, as I have just moved to a video capable camera. This was very helpful, as was the recent Pangolin video on the same subject. Just need to understand zebra settings now, especially when filming Zebras.
