CHOOSING THE RIGHT SHUTTER SPEED FOR UNDERWATER FILMING!

UNDERWATER FILMING TIPS - This is Episode #03 of our series on underwater filming tips.
WHAT IS THE RIGHT SHUTTER SPEED FOR UNDER WATER VIDEOGRAPHY? Which situation under water demands which shutter speed? And how does it affect the motion blur? And how does it affect the exposure of your image? This episode will help and guide you.
The series will have at least 20 more episodes to guide you step by step into the world of underwater filming. We will cover the very basics and get to more advanced techniques. We will discuss all sorts of underwater filming gear, setups from the camera housing, filters, lighting to things like storytelling and composition.
Stay tuned for the next episode coming up very soon, so be sure to subscribe to the channel and hit the bell button to be notified!

    Really glad I came across this, really sound advice. Would be great to get some advice/video on how to focus underwater. My Sony A6600 / Nauticam do not allow manual focus and Im having so many focus hunting issues with AF I'm going mad. Any help would be really appreciated.

    Plenty ;) 45mm macro lumix or 60mm olympus macro. 12-35 lumix and 8mm macro fisheye olympus. Personally I dont like the 7-14 F4 lumix, cause too dark.

    Great video Vanessa. As some kind of middle ground between auto-mode and full manual for filming I can recommend shooting in shutter speed priority mode with the shutter speed set as mentioned in the video (twice the framerate). It will make your life easier for quickly changing light conditions, but comes with the drawback of not having everything perfect in every situation.

    we concentrate on the future, not the past *lol* @@vincentregis but usually you can set it to MANUAL SHUTTER and then change it. At least with my very old camcorders that was the case.

    Your tutorials have really helped me out a lot... looking forward to more tutorials from you. I recently upgraded from my Fuji xt2 to the canon r5 but I haven’t got the chance to take it underwater yet and I’m waiting to buy the nauticam housing for the same... so I’ve been playing with the settings on the r5 but while trying to film at 4K 120fps with a shutter speed of 200-250 I’m getting a lot of flickering.. how do I counter this... even if I bring it down to 100 shitter speed I’m getting this flickering... I haven’t shot any videos yet and I’m relatively new to it

    Thanks for the tutorial. I have a relevant question - Under or above water, I note it's common to slow down the fps when editing to enhance movement, i.e. shooting in 30 fps and stretching the footages out to 25 fps in post. In this case, which should you base your shutter speed on? Is it 1/60 or 1/50?

  • @ReefPatrol

    @ReefPatrol

    Shutter always double of you filming framerate so 1/60 if filming in 30 fps :)

    Again nice Tips thank you. One question, is the GH5 able to set a manual whitebalance in a "recall mode" (C1-3)? The Sony aren't able to do, so you have to go to back to a other mode set the WB and note the value and go back to your custom setting and put in the value for the WB this is really disappointing ;-(

    Well done Vanessa, I really like the way you present and explain. Adopting the Peter McKinnon style for your videos seems to work well for you and since you are focused on underwater filming and photography I don't see it as a ripp-off, rather a cross over😉 You already put your own spinn on it and trying to get close to film-making legends like Peter can only be a good thing as you set your bar high. This really shows in your production value. I wish you and your channel all the best and looking forward to more of your clips. Definite like and subscribe👍
