Your footage looks BAD because you’re using the wrong settings
In this video, I discuss some of the drawbacks of relying too much on auto settings. Overall, it is a helpful guide for beginners and intermediate-level sports videographers who want to understand the benefits and limitations of using auto settings on their cameras.

What's the one setting that you always use in automatic mode?

Autofocus for sure!
Love the video. One of the best ones and so much useful info given in such a clear and easy way. ISO and White balance are quite interesting for me. Will be great to have a video about them and the color correction that you could do, when the original shooting is blah, because of wrong settings. Cheers for that top video!
Great video! Can you make a settings setup video for the Sony zv e10 when filming football and in gym sports?

There wouldn't be that much to add to what I said in this video to be honest. I don't really believe there are specific settings for each sport. I think you mainly need to adjust on the fly to your environment. So it's not about dialling in the perfect settings, but more so about understanding the settings so that you know what to adjust and when.
Great advice as usual. Thank you
Regarding ISO, your example is for indoors with rather uniform lighting. When you are shooting outdoors you have to contend with clouds blocking sun light as well as the movement of the sun in relation to the players. Will you use Auto ISO in this example? I keep my aperture fixed unless my zoom lens requires a shift. I keep my shutter speed fixed at between 1/750 and 1/1200 depending upon the age of players I am shooting. The only other way to adjust my video brightness when the light fluctuates is with Auto ISO or manually adjusting ISO constantly. Would you agree?

First of all, you should be using a variable ND filter when filming outdoors and using that to adjust the brightness of your shot. Without one, you're forced to push your shutter speed way up to make your image darker. The shutter speeds you mentioned feel dangerously high to me, especially at 60fps. With a variable ND you can keep the shutter speed much lower, keep the ISO at the minimum, and just adjust the brightness with the variable ND. But even if you don't have one, since all your other settings are set, I don't see why adjusting your ISO manually would be so difficult. The ISO in a gym changes just as much as outdoors because of windows and uneven lighting so changing the ISO manually constantly is just part of the job no matter where you're filming.
Hi Edris, how about lenses with variable aperture when zooming that get dark when you zoom in? Auto Iso for them seems to keep the exposure steady. How would you circumnavigate that problem??

The only way to avoid seeing the brightness of your image change every time you zoom in and out is to set your aperture at the lens' max value. For example if your lens has a variable aperture of 3.5 to 6.3, juts set the aperture to 6.3. But you're right, if filming outdoors, auto ISO could be helpful in this case. Indoors though, I still believe auto ISO tends to destroy your image quality too much if the lighting conditions are not ideal.

@@BeyondTheGame_E what about setting your exposure to -2 and use auto ISO? that way it uses less ISO and not overexposed ?

Great video as always. My ISO question is also regarding low light. I film BJJ indoors in large gymnasiums or in club factory settings or gyms. If the light is too low for the base ISO 640 on my A7Siii which is often the case & I go straight to the next 'native ' level of 12800 that's often too bright. I have relied on Auto ISO up until now but have noticed that quality drop once the auto ISO pushes 5000ish. So do I set to 12800 & use an ND filter like I would in bright outdoor situations too bright for 640?
@BeyondTheGame_E

Yes. If you're below 3200 ISO it might not be worth the trouble. But otherwise, filming at your second base ISO with an ND filter would be the way to get the highest quality possible in that situation.

So you’d set at 640 even if the light was a bit low . Or would you let the auto iso do the work until your above that 3200?

@@mauricerichardson I never use auto ISO. I would stay at 640 as much as possible and just push the ISO up manually when necessary. And if the lowest ISO possible is over 3200, I would do the 12800 + ND filter solution.
What’s your go to aperture?
