DJI Osmo Action 4 LOW LIGHT Filming | Settings for BEST Results

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

The DJI Osmo Action 4 features a larger sensor. This assists with getting better results when filming in low light. However, having the right settings is important to get the best results in low light scenarios.
In this video, I provide an overview of all of the settings that I use to get the best results with the Action 4. I also provide numerous sample clips of footage that I filmed using these settings.
GIMBALS I USE:
✓ Budget Gimbal: Hohem iSteady Pro 4: amzn.to/3tcQuRv
✓ Mid-Range Gimbal: Moza Mini Max: amzn.to/3PWTV7C
✓ Higher-End Gimbal: DJI Ronin-SC: amzn.to/3roOJ3b

    I bought 3 GoPro Hero 12 Black camera's, then another one, for a total of 4 cams. Then I seen all the DJI Osmo Action 4 low light videos and ordered 4 Action 4 cameras and the DJI dual mic and other accessories. I returned 1 of the Hero 12s for my money. I'll keep the other 3. The Action 4 is clearly the winner. If I known what I know now I would've't never purchased the Hero 12. This is coming from a GoPro guy who own 4 hero 7 black cameras, 4 hero 8 black cameras and a Hero MAX camera. I'm going to upgrade to the Insta 360 X3 cam soon.

    Hi there! I would like to ask what would be your recommended settings for a night bicycle ride, in and out of city lights. I'll be using a chest mount and would be moving at around 30km/18mi per hour. Might be using some clips every now and then for vlogging, but priority is to get clear captures of license plates in case something untoward happens. Post processing will be minimal, just some slight color corrections if needed. Thank you and I'd really appreciate your help here 🙂

    Your setup is the same setup that I use. But most of the time, during travel I set the exposures to auto (SS1/25-1/8000 ISO100-800). WB set to 5500K. Shoot at 4K25/RS+. FOV Ultra Wide. Sharpness -2 Noise Reduction -1. I used normal color profile most of the time, unless I think I wanna enhance it more then I use D Log M. I fixed the temperature later during post. I used the same setup for hyperlapse. This setup is good enough to produce usable footages including in low lights condition. I think I'll buy a gimbal for better stabilization in low light.

    I haven’t had any overheating issues minus when I did the initial setup of the camera and had a power bank connected rapid charging it. In other words, while using it for recording it has been okay for me even in 4K60 but I don’t use it stationary except for time lapses which generate less heat than video recording does.

    If using it indoors and stationary in 4K with RockSteady on and continuously recording it will likely overheat after about 20-30 minutes according to the data I see. If using it outdoors while moving or filming several clips and not one continuous clip it will likely be fine and not overheat.

    Set your shutter speed range to 1/200 - 1/8000 so that the shutter speed doesn’t dip below 1/200. If you do this you can keep RockSteady on. Alternatively if your mount is really stable and doesn’t shake or wobble you can do the 1/48 with RockSteady off for extra light and the footage should come out good.

    Thank you for your support. Absolutely, so I shot the video in 4:3 but then dropped it onto a 16:9 timeline. What this means is when the 4:3 is conformed to 16:9 the full horizontal footage is there but there is extra in the vertical dimension that is cut off at the top and bottom. Because of this I can adjust 4:3 framing vertically on a 16:9 timeline. 4:3 essentially gives an extra 25% of vertical footage to work with that falls outside the 16:9 framing. Of course with 4:3 you could also use a 4:3 timeline and not have any extra footage to adjust.

    Yes, if your camera will be stationary you can turn off RockSteady and set it to 24 or 30 fps and then lower your shutter to match the frame rate (that’s as low as your shutter speed can go for video). Use a white balance of around 3800K. Let the ISO max out at 1600.

    Hi, I am just starting out with night settings on my Action 4 as the nights have drawn in in the UK, and I have written down your settings to test out - my attempts thus far haven't been great. I don't have a gimbal but may considering buying one, as I like making walking videos. My only question is compared to lots of other 'tests' out there, yours is by far the smoothest and best quality footage I have seen, others are pretty ordinary in comparison with blocky distortion. How are you editing it to look like that? I use Da Vinci and Capcut, so I am wondering if I capture the video with settings like you suggest, to get them as smooth as you video is, what would I be looking to do to in post. You only need to look up Action 4 night footage to see the difference between yours and most of the others out there. Cheers for any help.

    Yes, a gimbal is useful for getting best results. If a gimbal isn’t being used it is important to not let the shutter speed go any slower than 1/200 as I explain in this video due to those sharper frames being needed for RockSteady to work properly.

  • @GreatDayForAHike

    @GreatDayForAHike

    5 ай бұрын

    A gimbal is highly recommend for moving shots. If you’re doing stable shots where you are not moving a tripod would be helpful to prevent excessive motion with RockSteady off. Doing the 24 or 30 fps with a shutter speed of 1/48 or 1/60 will yield best results if using a gimbal or tripod. If one is not using a gimbal or tripod then I recommend setting the shutter speed range to 1/200 - 1/8000 to prevent the shutter speed from going slower than 1/200 which will create jitter and ghosting when RockSteady is turned on.

  • @GreatDayForAHike

    @GreatDayForAHike

    27 күн бұрын

    This is because electronic image stabilization needs a fast enough shutter speed in order to function properly. A shutter speed of 1/200 or faster allows EIS to reliably function properly. Ghosting and jitter are when EIS is on and the shutter speed is too slow. The frames and the motion in the video will not line up and it will look really bad.

    Great question. If you’re filming in low lighting without a gimbal I would recommend keeping RockSteady on and setting your shutter speed range from 1/200 - 1/8000 to ensure the shutter speed does not get below 1/200 and cause jitter or ghosting. Alternatively, if your filming setting and plans allow for it, you could film important scenes with both options if possible. You could use the settings above with RockSteady on to film a scene and then use the shutter speed of 1/48 (with 24fps) or 1/60 (with 30fps) with RockSteady Off to film the same scene. Then when you’re home you could use Gyroflow with the scenes you filmed with RockSteady off and see if the results are good enough for you. If they aren’t you’d still at least have the “backup” of the scenes you filmed with RockSteady on even if they are a bit darker. Hope it goes well and that you have fun.

    Thanks for this video! I try with 4:3 - 4k 60 fps - shutter 1/120 and stabilization off for work on gyroflow but the result is very bad (ghost effect). The video was on high ISO (range 1-1600). I try in my home at the night with artificial light. Why I don't have a good result? Thanks Bye Simone

    A few different possibilities with this. The shutter speed may still need to be a bit faster, such as around 1/200 for best results, the lighting may be too low, or there may have been too much motion in the video.

    Why did you unscrew the mount instead of unclip the oa4 from the magnetic mount 🤔

  • @GreatDayForAHike

    @GreatDayForAHike

    8 ай бұрын

    I did not unscrew the mount at any time in this video, but I do leave the magnetic mount attached to the OA4 for two reasons. 1) Since I own other action cameras I do not leave the magnetic mount attached to the thumbscrew mount because if I want to connect a GoPro I’d have to remove the magnetic mount first. 2) It’s easy to lose the magnetic mount if it isn’t left connected to the camera. Unlike the OA4, the GoPro Hero 12 includes the folding fingers and tripod mount built onto the camera.

    When you change the SS to 1/200 for RS, do you recommend to also increase the FPS to 60? Or leave it at 24?

  • @GreatDayForAHike

    @GreatDayForAHike

    3 ай бұрын

    Great question. Technically, it doesn’t matter since either FPS can allow for a shutter speed of 1/200. I would say it largely depends on what you want to do with the footage later on (if you want to slow it down, for instance). If you do want to slow down any footage later on then 60fps is a good choice.

  • @GreatDayForAHike

    5 ай бұрын

    With the right settings I would say they both perform about the same in low light. I do like it that the Action 4 has 10-bit footage vs the Ace Pro which currently only has 8-bit footage. Noise reduction can also be adjusted on the Action 4. Both of these can help provide better results in low light.

    To get the 1/48 shutter speed one does need RockSteady off and if stabilization is wanted a gimbal is needed unless stabilizing in post. Any good gimbal that supports action cameras should do the trick.

    Yes, the gyroscope inside the camera measures motion data and records this in the video file inside the camera. This data in the video files can then be used to stabilize footage when editing with a program that can read the gyro data and compensate for the camera movements and then created stabilized footage.

  • @GreatDayForAHike

    @kingkong2598 This sounds like ghosting and jitter. This will happen if the shutter speed drops to too slow of a value with RockSteady on. I have found that the shutter speed needs to be at least as fast as about 1/200 in order to function properly with RockSteady on. Alternatively, RockSteady can be turned off and a gimbal used to mechanically stabilize the footage if a slower shutter speed such as 1/50 is desired (as shown in this video).

    Yes, you technically can without a gimbal, but in order to have usable footage later on that isn't ruined due to ghosting and jitter you do have to set the shutter speed range to not allow the shutter speed to go any slow than about 1/200. This of course won't give as good of results as using it with a gimbal with RockSteady off and a slower shutter speed. The slower speed allows more light into the sensor on this camera.
