@BrianTheCameraGuy

Жыл бұрын

My suggestion is to use the lowest f stop possible to start. If you have a lens that goes down to f1.8 or even f1.4, then those are going to be so much better. After you go as low as you can, you will want to increase your ISO. Try to keep the ISO under 6400 if possible. I would also recommend having your Picture Profile turned off. The profile that your camera produces should be good enough in low light. Does this make sense?

Hi Brian, at 17:34 your 'Clear Image' zoom looks pretty smooth, whereas on other tutorial videos, it appears as though it goes in really obvious increments. Does that have to do with whatever button or dial you assign the zoom to? Also, I seem to be able to use the zoom, but not 'while' recording, only before I start recording. I can't find any info about that anywhere. Thanks!

@BrianTheCameraGuy

I have set the delete or trash can button to start clear image zoom. Once activated you can either spin the wheel pad right above the trash button or you can press right to slowly zoom in or left to slowly zoom out. This is how I use the clear image zoom as a zoom rocker. As far as having it when you are recording it works in all mode except 1080p at 120 fps but you have to turn it on in the menu like I showed.

Both are going to be good to shoot in. Full Frame is going to give you a wider look. When you go to aps-c mode, you will be cropping 1.5x so your 24mm lens will look like a 36mm lens. It is not better or worse, it is more about how much sensor you are using. Full Frame = Full sensor. Aps-c = cropped sensor with a 1.5x zoomed in crop.
