What are your favorite autofocus settings and why?
@pro.tharan Жыл бұрын
Hey mate, great video and really useful as I've been setting up the camera. I think I would add to this list is to use shutter angle over shutter speed, I set mine to 180 and then it will automatically work out all of those things. It's also a great addition when using the 120 FPS slow motion, as sometimes the lights can flicker, which can be solved by enabling syncroscan, which allows you to change the angle by 1 degree increments (179 or 181 usually fixes the flicker). Otherwise really awesome information, and getting my hands on the Pana 35mm 1.8 tomorrow so will let you know how I find it!

640 is the low ISO for VLOG, not all picture profiles are the same. Why are you not using Shutter Angle? If you switch to SA you literally don’t need custom modes, you just change frame rates (I have favorites mapped to an Fn button). This one of the main reason I sold my Sony a7IV for the S5ii
@NolanGunn Жыл бұрын
You’re absolutely right! Ultimately, that would be easier - but for most people it’s easier to understand shutter speed in the beginning. It would be a great follow up companion video though!

Thanks, I am new to video and know the basics but have a hard time organizing how to actually work and organize myself in a practical way. Just being told how to set up your custom settings is a big help. I've got the photo settings down really well and had some photo custom modes but using them for video makes more sense since I know now how to really quickly change my photo settings from Q

Hey Nolan one question when you state to change your shutter to 50 , 125 and 250 for example (50°) I normally keep that set to (180°) I have the little degree symbol next to the number? Is that correct because the screen is almost completely black... I think that has to to do with angle but I am not sure can you provide a little help with this... thanks Well I figured out how to change the shutter however I can't set it to 250 it will only set to 249.8?
@NolanGunn Жыл бұрын
You’re right on! 180° is the easier (but slightly more complicated to learn) way of using your shutter. So as long as you keep it at 180° then your shutter will always be “correct” for shooting at twice your frame rate. (I.e. in 4k24p an 180° shutter would be the same as 1/48) the biggest advantage of shutter angle is not having to change it when you switch to different frame rates since 180° is almost always the right setting.

Honestly and i am by no means a professional... but it seems the you are shooting out a window... the bottom frame of the window is blurry the bottom of the window frame is trying to draw focus and you are trying to gain focus on the the road and the cars... if you were to place your camera on a tripod and outside trying to gain focus on the cars on the road I think that it would be much better... just my thoughts... I have not had this issue with my camera... just seems you are shooting out a window too many variables there trying to gain focus plus you are moving your wheel changing F-stops will cause a shake with the camera.
