Camera Settings for Cinematic Sports Videos

I've been loving all these videos on the channel, as a photographer trying to get into the LCC field. Video was my "first love" and I'm really wanting to hone in on having a good skillset in both. Thank you for producing amazing educational content!

Great video!! I like to move around when filming soccer and was wondering if you’d recommend shooting in auto ISO? I tried manual mode but ended up with some footage slightly underexposed.

Where I struggle is focus mode. For photos I use either single point or tracking. For action in the game what do you find is your go to focus mode for video?

You said we can shoot in different frame rates for different scenes in football for example pregame footage like in 24fps and a higher like 60 for actual game play. My question is when it comes time to edit what frame rate timeline should I use?

[@jimmyshoes3]

24fps

Should do a video on how to effectively pull focus as a sports videographer.

I shoot a lot of baseball where I am the only cameraman and have to shoot both photo and video. I switch back and forth a lot, in between pitches or even during the same play, such as filming a home run and then photographing the celebration at home. Because of this, I do not use ND filters. If I did, my ISO would be too high when taking photos at a high shutter speed (1/2000-1/8000), even during day games because I use a 70-300, which has a higher minimum aperture of f/4-5.6. Not using ND filters means I’m shooting at about 1/4000th shutter speed in video which is not ideal and very jittery. The other option is to close down my aperture, but I don’t like the look of that either. Do you know of any solution to this problem?
