    Really excellent video man! I'd just note that in order to get a combo of 50FPS/100 Shutter in M50 you have to be on PAL mode and not NTSC. if you shoot on low light with 60FPS/150 you may get some flickering...

    New here, and just getting back into camera work, as I have a limiting iphone SE from 2020. And with a limited budget I picked up the M-fitty with that kit lens and snagged the m-EF canon mount & 50mm 1.8f. And I am a dirty, dirty darkness, not mere low light addict. I’ve been walking the streets & woods after midnight. And when I saw this I had to ask, what time if you can recall was it when you shot this sequence? I would think it’s right around sunset and just a but after? Good stuff, definitely subbing to see more!

    Hey! 2018 MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad Core i5 8GB Ram. So far I have no problems editing 4K footage from my Sony BUT... when shot in the highest bit rates, it struggles a little bit sometimes. But I’m still OK with it. The only thing that doesn’t work anymore is my subscribe call-outs. Whenever I add those to 4K footage, Davince crashes when rendering. Not sure what the problem is but as soon as I remove the call-out it’s fine. Rendering time for a 10min 4K video is 1 to 1.5 hours.

    Great Video!! Quick question - I'm shooting my talking head vids in low light, with some neon signs hanging up in the background (whic is about 4 feet behind me) and my problem is that the neon signs are showing up overexposed (white & blurry) instead of appearing as their real colors. I played around with my camera settings, and got the neon lights to appear correctly BUT then everything else is really dark (and I do use soft box lighting as well). I'm also using a Sigma 16mm f1.4 lens. So, when I got the neon lights to show up clear and with the correct colors, I now have the problem that everything else is so dark that you can barely see anything even with the soft box lights blasting, and that includes myself i the film since I appear super dark as well..... So, How, do we fix this so that we are able to have the neon signs appear correctly, and also where I appear normally lit as well?

    No, since your other lights are blasting already, an ND filter won't work either. But from what I can see these LEDs are dimmable so if they really are then that's the solution... It should say it in the specs somewhere but you might have to get an LED dimmer switch.
