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!
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 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?
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.
@@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.
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.
