Samsung Galaxy A7 2016. I use it to record my youtube videos mostly often and my video quality is a bit strange, It's 1440x720. (2:1 Aspect Ratio) But the frame rate is variable due to some limited resources.
I use my iPhone 2020Se. It doubles as my webcam when I do certain types of videos. I will sometimes use my Logitech C920 webcam. Like phon better. Thans Omar!! EpocCam was a game changer.
Wish this video was available 3 years ago :D Using Sony A6400 with Sigma 16, 56 f1.4 & 18-50 f2.8 and a Sony 35 f1.8. Great content as always from think media👌🏼
0:06 1) make sure in video mode 0:19 (2) exposure set to manual 0:35 (3) resolution & frame rate 4k, 24 fps, or 1080/24p if camera has a huge crop in 4K 1:02 (4) shutter: 1/50 1:19 (5) aperture: as low as possible 1:29 (6) ISO 100 1:39 (7) (a) focus mode (set to continuous or servo), (b) focus area set to wide. 2:47 (8) White balance: set from "auto" (AWB) to K, specifically 4800K 3:09 (9) Lights: make sure the light is set to a cooler temperature 3:20 (10) audio gain: take off auto & adjust to your particular mic. Keep it around -12 4:05 (11) Adjust exposure according to light. To brighten, increase ISO. To darken, increase aperture.
@@LeoDizonMendoza you bet! Do you think he really meant to say that at the end, to darken the exposure to increase aperture? Don't you think he meant to say decrease aperture?
THIS. THIS VIDEO WAS GOLD. I just got a cannon EOS (R) and this video saved me HUNDREDS of hours of frustration. Even just this ONE video helped me figure out how to navigate some of the settings and then go from there. This video was ON POINT. Amazing.
From B&H: A basic guide for best ISO for video: 100 or 200 is the best ISO for a sunny day or bright setting with lots of light. 400 ISO for cloudy days or indoor shots. 800 ISO for indoors without an external light.
what about if you're filming under changing lighting due to sunlight or outdoor settings - personally I always film in "Auto-ISO" in these environments, thoughts?
I will share with you a mistake I made, I shot a video using a Canon M50 and I set the focus on manual , when I was focusing I was leaning forward to check the screen and see if I am in focus and THEN I leaned back and shot the video! when I transferred the video on my PC for editing I immediately noticed that I was out of focus! So I guess the best solution would be to have the focus on auto or have the camera connected to a monitor so I can view myself while recording to know if I am in focus or not.
Thank you so much for this! I’ve started filing but I knew the settings weren’t right. This was simple to follow, and also completely different from the video I followed - in a good way! My settings look great now! I’ve been struggling to get my first video out, and I will keep pushing. I am glad that I saw this before I finished my first recording!
*THIS IS FOR YOUR SUCCESS* No matter what’s going on in your life right now, i am very sure there’s something and somewhere you’re missing it, so try and get a means that will have you feeling inspired, motivated, and understood; so you can take your next steps to success. Because your success and greatness is my pleasure Thanks for reading I LOVE YOU 💕
Thanks again for another quick and extremely helpful tutorial! I'm embarrassed to admit that I took FOREVER to even get my beautiful new (to me, = "gently pre-loved") Sony Alpha A7iii out of the box(!) because I was terrified of having to figure out what to do next, as I was only just starting to figure out my GoPro. I've been muddling my way along ever since, and now I'll set about correcting my settings -- many thanks again!! 😻
This is such a good video, and I have watched many. Thank you for helping set my first professional camera as I have no other help around. The videos look already so much better with those settings you shared.
Looked up “how to set up my Sony camera” and this video popped up among others. I am subscribed to the channel so I clicked on this one first. This video seems quick and straight to the point. I’m going to try it by or before Wednesday afternoon and see if it’ll work. I’ve used my phones for years even though i have a great camera, simply because i didn’t know, & still don’t know how to get the perfect settings. The comments also seem promising here. I’m trying something new and need more angles so I’ll be using my phone AND camera. I’ll be back in like 2 days with my commentary with my results. Crossing my fingers and hoping it works.
Hi! What camera were you using during this video? I have a Canon2000D but I think it's a little outdated? I'm not sure if you'd recommend I continue with a 2000D or get something better?
There are a couple of things I disagree with. First is the shutter speed 30 fps will get you sharper images than 24 fps. The second is aperture. The widest aperture will get you the blurriest background but not the sharpest image. Every lens is different so you might have to experiment if you want to find the sharpest image.
Great tutorial! I'm still experimenting but have found I like using a vintage lens (Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50mm 1.4) so I have an extra step to focus manually using a stand in and an external monitor helps with that.
Great introduction to video camera setup, even 11 months later. I plan to use a Z30 with 20mm f1.8, and was able to follow the instructions with ease. Now to my studio to shoot my TH-cam Intro Video!
Thanks for all these great tips. I’ve always wondered what the most common settings of creators’ camera are. One quick question: Why frame rate of 24? I’ve read others who advised using 30. Is it because so that we can use a slower 1/50 exposure speed vs 1/60 with 30?
It more comes down to the look. 24frames had more motion blur and has what they call a “cinematic look” films are shot in this frame rate. It’s more natural to the eye. 30fps is more sharp/less motion blur. Has more of a “real” feel. It’s a preference thing.
Can you make a video on what numbers to set on the back of LED lights? Like I have the GVM LED RGB lights, the three kit, but I don't know how to set the numbers in the back correctly. Like what percent do I do the brightness if I'm at 4800 degrees? Do I mess with saturation? My face either ends up too orange, to white, or too harsh. So I have had them in a box for like 2 years! I might get a basic mount dog light with no settings lol. But I would like to understand better how to set those type of led lights with numbers for best natural look on skin without looking cheesy and unprofessional. It is truly an art to achieve that crispy lighting with natural glowing skin tones!!
Cause lens is f3.5 thats why its grainy and noisy, buy a new lens f1.4 and check the results, for budget low - Viltrox lens Good budget - Sigma lens Crazy budget - Sony lens
I know the rule of thumb is to set the shutter speed at 2x the frame rate, but is there any downside to a faster shutter speed in order to reduce exposure?
@@martinowong thanks! Guess I should stick to the 2x rule and increase aperture for instructional content! Less blurry background but smoother looking motion.
Thank you so much for this video.Some of the settings my camera does not have, however I'm happy with how it turned out. How do you know how close you have the camera and the subject?
Hey Omar, very helpful. I'm using a Canon M50 II with a Sigma 16mm and what is driving me crazy is that when I film intros for my channel, via Ecamm Live, in record only, the video footage is soft, no matter what I do. Whereas when I just film straight to a card, it's crisp as the day is long. I have Googled the heck of of this and cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. Not sure if you have any ideas, but I bought my M50 II after watching some Think Media videos and figured it was the best fit for me. Thanks so much!
Its interesting to say but Marcus Rogers what right.. A while back he stated that there was going go be like a shift or change in the demon slayers because they were associating with sorcerers. Then the Daniel Adam thing, and now Vlad.. 🤔
Hey! Super cool video! But I need help on something.. i have your same Sony zv e10, with a 1.8/35mm lens. When I want to record a video using all your settings, the image looks suuuuuper cropped. Is it the lens? I put the 4k option but you talked about putting it in hd instead? Is there other solution to it? My space is limited so I cant put the camera suuuper far from me. Don’t know what to do 😢 do i have to get another lens?
My opinion: Video quality doesn't matter. But quality content does. 😎 Btw, I still have to manage filming locations, lighting, lens, script, works, and some other stuff that I'm going to use for my future videos. 😎

Why do you set the white balance to 4800K as opposed to setting a custom white balance using a white or gray card?

I know the rule of thumb is to set the shutter speed at 2x the frame rate, but is there any downside to a faster shutter speed in order to reduce exposure?
a choppier motion and less motion blur, it will look less natural
Yea, it's okay to break the rule IF you're not moving all that much

Turn your aperture up to the sweet spot. the 16mm can go very low but that’s not the sweet spot for this lense. look up
