I've been a bit stuck in audio. I know it's just a matter of tinkering with it until I find the happy medium, but I wish I could nail it sooner than later 😂 I have a setup similar to Mark Wiens, where I have the Rode Videomicro + a wireless mic system plugged to a L/R channel splitter/combiner so the wireless lav mic occupies 1 channel, and the Rode mic the other channel. I do that for 2 reasons. 1 it's for having a backup audio source, and 2 is for being able to record better sound to what my camera is being pointed at while having me behind the camera with a crystal clear sound. That way the sound of both "the street action" and myself have have decent audio levels. The catch has been balancing the both so I do as little work as possible in post. Maybe some low-cut filter, maybe a little compression and call it the day.

For now I really don't use eye/face focus much, it loves to grab other people's eyes and faces randomly even if all I want to do it's to shoot a simple panning b-roll 😅😅 so I'm with the focus box on 😆👍

Oh and like you, I started to shoot in 30fps, makes it much easier to transition between photo and video. I just rotate the shutter speed dial to 60 and it works great. Sms for when shooting in 60fps, I turn the shutter dial to 125, although 120 is the correct for the rule, but I don't see much of a difference and it saves me time and the grief of not forgetting another setting 😅👍

@@williamaungleyraud nice setup Audio is always a complicated point to tackle as it really depends on many factors… and processing your audio also plays a big part into how it will sound… I will try to come up with a tutorial with how I managed to improve mine, also there are still many things I would like to improve still. Nice setup! I will have a look at your videos to see how this sound

@@ThierryGibralta 😅 whenever I drop a video I'll give you a heads-up, I'm still too self-conscious when dealing with random people. And frankly I haven't found my way of storytelling. I'm sure things will workout with practice and more practice. For now I'm just an enthusiast aspiring to start a channel project. Very niche, but hopefully something that everyone can take a bite of and get some entertainment from 😀👍 Sometimes people get very curious to know what you do and what you are filming that at least here in the US you lose some personal space. Which can be nice and awkward depending how the first impression goes by. I've had some very interesting conversations, and some not so great ones either 🤣🤣

Glad it could help! Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Glad that you like the format and delivery. Thank you for watching

Glad it helped! I try to get to the point as fast as I can

@@ThierryGibralta ... and that is why I subscribed 😀 To give you my profile... 60 years photography, never no video... this has to change 🤣 Fuji XT5

Thank you for that! I hope you enjoy the coming videos!

Thabk you for watching as always! I have yet to try the TC! Glad to hear some good feedback from it! It makes me even more curious to try!

The 70-300mm + the 1.4x teleconverter is the best combination for portable telephoto on the Fujifilm system. It's a combo that never leaves my bag. You basically have a 100-400mm at a fraction of the size and weight for the price of 1 F Stop.

In Europe 23.98fps at 1/50 shutter speed under artificial lights and 1/48 under natural light works well.

Thank you for watching!

I do not have that for the XT5 but it is quite similar. It might be a good update for a future one! Thank you

@@ThierryGibralta makes sense thank you for the fast reply and keep up the awesome work!🚀🚀🚀

@sndoumett thank you! 🙏

Are you trying to use manual focus or autofocus?

@@ThierryGibralta hi, im using auto focus

I have been recording my KZfaq videos with this setup and I can assure you that the external microphone is used when recording audio. Otherwise my sound would be much worse. Have you set the audio to MIC? Is the cable correctly plugged?

@@ThierryGibralta Interesting. The X-T4 manual states that ”microphones that require plug-in power cannot be used.” I haven't tested it because the Rode Video Micro doesn't have it's own battery supply. From the Rode manual: “The VideoMicro … uses the plugin power supplied via your camera’s microphone input.” I'm curious what it's doing for you - I guess I should try too!

Give it a try and you will see but it works for me yes

Why tho?

Ahah j'essaie de faire en sorte qu'il ne sois pas "trop gros" lol mais oui effectivement

Good idea! I would that into my buffer 🙏

@@ThierryGibralta awesome 😁👍I appreciate all your hard work 😎📷

Thanks 🙏

@@ThierryGibralta lol sorry if I hijack your comment section by the way 🤣, I just really enjoy the community here, people are supper helpful and supportive, and I just try to share my small experiences with everyone 😎👍👍give more than what you take right? 😁

No problem thank you for helping people out

Can you give examples on what is grayed out for you?

because u turned on the’ hight speed recording’ . Turn that off and u will be in normal video settings.

It depends on the lens. The problem with the X-T4 is that you cannot activate DIS without activating IBIS, and the X-T4 IBIS for wide angle lenses result in very wobbly footage. So you need to make a choice weather or not you want to stabilize in post only, a combination of in camera stabilization + in post, or in camera stabilization only. I mess with stabilization settings all the time, and I own almost every vloggable lens available except the Viltrox 13mm and the Samyang/Rokinon 12mm. Neither I vlog on anything beyond 16mm. (the Tamron 17-70mm f2.8 is also an alternative not quite 18mm but I didn't try this one either.) So if you have a lens with OIS, make sure your camera is always in boost mode under power management in the settings menu, this is different than boost mode in stabilization. With an OIS lens I prefer to have IBIS on, and if I'm shooting wide enough like with the 10-24mm I'll turn DIS on as well. However don't bother with lens correction crop because it won't further stabilize your footage. I leave boost stabilization always on, I don't notice much of a difference, and it doesn't crop, so why not? With the 16-80mm I turn IBIS, but I leave DIS off because 16mm is already very narrow for my particular vlogging style, but I'll probably further stabilize in post. So it will suffer a minor crop. I love using the 16-55mm f2.8, but unfortunately it doesn't have OIS, so IBIS does help a little, but I can get jerky, so I would also further stabilize in post. Anything 16mm or wider will have wobbly corners if IBIS is turned on (the new X-H2S doesn't have much of this issue as it's IBIS is superior, greats hopes for the X-T5 😎) I've heard of some people being able to correct some of the wobbling footage in Davinci Resolve, but I have yet to explore it more. If you use a gimbal, I still recommend you to have IBIS/OIS on despite what others might tell you because it does help you to smooth out the micro jitters, the gimbal itself won't be perfect. My personal bottom line is that the X-T4 doesn't have superb stabilization out of camera, but it's highly useful, just give that extra touch of stabilization in post. Keep in mind that there is no perfect lens so there will always be something to compansste for. I hope you find any of this information helpful 😎📷

@@williamaungleyraud o have Sigma 16mm f1.4 and Viltrox 56mm f1.4

@@AndreaBuondonno I'll assume the Sigma doesn't have OIS so you'll probably try IBIS on and test weather you prefer DIS and boost on or off. The IBIS should relief some of the jittery footage, but it doesn't replace walking technique. I hope the Viltrox is better than the Fujinon 56mm because the Fuji really wasn't great for video due to slow AF. But you have good lenses, and you can definitely do vídeo work with them. You really want to experiment in camera VS in post stabilization vs a combo of both. For me it's always comes down to combo, but it's time consuming since my 6 years old laptop is dying for a replacement 🤣👍

@@williamaungleyraud thanx!

Thank you for watching!

So personally I don’t get this issue with those exact settings, however I do observe overheating if I record at 60fps. What firmware are you using?

@@ThierryGibralta I am using the newest one. It was also a problem with the old version. I even bought a 300mb/s V90 sd card to see if that did anything. But no. It have been to a fuji repair shop, but they found nothing wrong. I just wanted to hear of other people have the same problem.

maybe it has to do with power settings . I noticed it when i switched to economy mode it overheated in video mode, later i restarted and change mode to performance mode it was fine.
