MY EXACT VLOG SETTINGS - 2020

[@ZoeandDarren]

5:40 this is a vlogger's gold. David, how often do you do this? Do you do Auto ISO for more casual vlogging clips, and say, full manual for your cine b-rolls?

[@TylerLloyd]

What about white balance? Do you adjust manually as well based on Kelvin, go with auto, use a preset profile, or set a custom white balance?

[@DavidManningvlog]

If I'm in a constant setup, like the studio, I set my white balance manually. But if I'm on the move constantly, then I go for auto wb👍

[@TylerLloyd]

David Manning thanks!

[@philcofer55]

Man this was the best video! Helped me learn my camera in the easiest way ! 🔥 thank you!

[@AntonioOrrico]

Hi, thanks for the video! I have a question, hope you can help me. I'm using the same setting but the lowest I can go with the ISO is 800. if I go lower the video is too dark. I'm am using a 3 way light set up with light boxes (85W bulb). now testing a new set of 2 Godox LED260C. camera is Canon 650D with a standard 18-55. hope you can help tnx

[@ryancollinsvideo]

Get a lens with a wider aputure so for example sigma 18-35 1.8

[@ghostscout2018]

Hey David manning good video that helps. Do you have a video of what settings should I use on my action camra (I just bought the dji osmo action) while under water ?weather it's in a lake or pool?

[@DavidManningvlog]

I haven't done one specifically for the Osmo Action, but a lot of the settings from the GoPro video translate 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqWnoX6nlpaXaKM

[@MRMRS2wheeler]

Good video David. Another question that's related, which lens are you shooting this on (what mm), and how far from the camera and backgrounds are you? Much love from with Florida. Mike

[@DavidManningvlog]

I think I might do a full studio setup tour soon to walk through all of this. For static tighter shots like this, I'm at 35mm @ about six feet and for the wider shots on the channel I'm at 24mm @ about three feet👍

[@gitchgear7581]

Another great video David although the mustache is questionable 🙂

[@DavidManningvlog]

Hahaha! VERY questionable! 🤣

[@DigiDriftZone]

If you're walking with the camera, even ninja walking, 1/50s is just too blurry, you have to bump that up to something like 1/200s in order for catalyst browse or warp stabiliser to be able to work, they can't stabilise your footage if most of your frames have heavy motion blur. So what are your suggestions for vlog style videos with walking and other handheld movement (without adding a gimbal)? Also you are losing quite a lot of dynamic range using ISO100 in video, the native on A7SIII is 640 and 12,800 - anything above or below these 2 natives will lead to loss of dynamic range (the loss is greater the more you deviate from the natives).

[@phucmapvlog]

That ND filter is a game-changer

[@MorganLeighMusicNow]

Can’t wait for the lake Powell video ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jonnmedds]

Great tips as usual. Would be nice to see a similar video on your recommended settings for GoPro Hero8.

This is what I need! I’ve just uploaded my latest 2 videos and I find them looking a little flat after export Thanks for positing this bro much love

[@DavidManningvlog]

Awesome Dan! Love hearing that!

[@cesarm8811]

David great video. If you don't own a ND filter, any suggestion on setting? Should I leave the ISO on Auto all the time? And what focal length do you use?

[@DavidManningvlog]

If you're not using an ND filter, you'll need to adjust your aperture to reduce the light intake. You won't be able to do it with ISO alone. Without an ND filter, I would leave it in Shutter Priority with your ISO set to auto. That'll ensure that you're sticking to the 180 rule and allow your camera to handle the rest of the work👍

[@JosephWilsonProductions]

I saw Morgan did a 360 wake boarding! That was awesome!!! Whoot!!!!

[@DavidManningvlog]

Oh man, she was killing it this year out there!

[@DefamsTV]

QUESTIONS FOR EVERYONE WHO KNOWS : I already lock my shutter speed at double from my frame rate, attach ND filter, set aperture wide open, let the ISO automatically adjusted, but I feel that the video is too much motion blur. When I pan or tilt a bit quick - fuzzy, hard to see. Should I increase my frame rate to above 60?

[@jusinocasino11]

No, The motion blur occurs when you have low shutterspeed, its a rule to have shutterspeed double the fram rate but it often needs to be adjusted for videos that you have quick motions.

[@cdcheever]

Can you do a visual demo? I just purchased a a7III based on your videos and this is the first camera I’ve ever opened and I’m struggling with what all of the settings do and what they are. Help please!!!! 😇😇😇

[@WILDANDSTORY]

I was thinking about the Sony A7iii but I’m use to Canon flippy floppy screen to see my exposure. Do you use just expose with on your hand beforehand?

[@DavidManningvlog]

Yup, or expose for the scene and know that it'll be close enough to edit in post👍 I'm VERY excited for the A7SIII 🙌

[@WILDANDSTORY]

David Manning Thanks. I’ve been scratching my head and looking at heaps of videos trying to figure out how everyone does it without a screen. I’m just so used to looking at the flip out and adjusting the variable ND. Yes that A7Siii makes me hopeful for the A7iv. Screen & menus. ✌️

[@motoessence5960]

does the same thing apply uif you use picture profiles like slog ? just wondering thank for all of the help man !

[@chrislostinflorida]

Thanks fo much for the shoutout David, but mainly for the detailed answer. Helps a lot. 🙌🏻

[@oldaccounta]

The personality in this video is awesome! Thank you for the tips David! Very Helpful

[@robbryan3044]

Great information for shooting indoor, or relatively stationary outdoor, video. What settings (when used with a VND) would you recommend for outdoor "higher speed" movement, such as when shooting sports, jet ski racing, etc? Also, what about when shooting with a GoPro (GoPro 8 Black), say, when mounted onto an RC boat, where an ND filter can't be used?

[@republicafotografica]

@davidmanning do you use auto focus when vlogging? I'm using a 5d mark 4 with the 24-70 or a 50, but I get a lot of the noise from the lens when using the Rode VideoMicro. What should I do?

[@jan-jans143]

[@careersteer6497]

Great video, David. Looking forward to the Lake Powell stuff. Do you have any experience with the 2/8 Tiffen variable ND filter? It's half the cost of the Peter McKinnon one you reviewed, but wondering if it's got awful aberration or what. Curious, yo. Looking to get one for my interview channel.
