    I'm not a camera expert, but I love my A7iv for TH-cam and video podcasts. The flip out screen is a must for a solo creator. If you can afford it, go for it. If you want a quality vlogging camera that is lighter and more affordable, go for something in the ZV series. You can do 4K. A lot of big channels use them, so they are up to the task.

      I focus on creating evergreen content over trending content - to me content that gets views over time is better than views all at once and then none. I’m also still fairly new to the platform, working the long game!

    What are the best video settings for TH-cam?

    • @benjohnsoncreative
      @benjohnsoncreative  ปีที่แล้ว

      I recommend this as a starting point:
      4K
      24fps
      Shutter 1/50
      Aperture 2.8
      Iso: adjust as needed but keep as low as you can

    having excellent autofocus in video in a camera with bad rolling shutter kinda defeats the purpose. i mean, if you have to keep still to avoid the rolling, then you can't make full use of the autofocus in scenes where you need it, im guessing...

    • @benjohnsoncreative
      @benjohnsoncreative  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The rolling shutter is fine unless you’re doing fast back and forth movements. So if you’re wanting to do really fast sport filming I think this may not be the best option, but for most uses you won’t notice the rolling shutter

    • @PinkstonFilms
      @PinkstonFilms 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@benjohnsoncreative What focal range did you shoot your rolling shutter test at? I’ve shot some concerts panning back and forth using the 24-105 and when I spin I zoom back to a lower focal range, then zoom in on the subject. I don’t get rolling shutter when shooting that way. I’m sure using a longer prime lens focal range will cause rolling shutter more but that would happen on virtually all cameras except possibly a global shutter but then again, who would be running and gunning with a longer focal range.

    @TexpatOTG 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I just don't understand why a person would need such an expensive camera for TH-cam videos. I've seen great videos shot with smartphones and cameras that are way cheaper than a7IV ... I guess if money is no object, go for it.
