Fujifilm X-T1 Video: How to shoot the best quality

[@SheyEdlingtonDouglas]

I loved every minute. I will be following you. To the point. Thank you.

[@SethKHughes]

Thank you Shey. Glad you found it helpful.

[@LeandroBighetti]

2023 and this video is still helpful. X-T1 lacks some of the modern video features but still packs a punch, with a good lens I feel like it almost gives a vintage vibe to the video. I much prefer the XT1 video to my cel phones . Thanks a lot for the video, I’m a hobbyist photographer with no plans to upgrade my XT1 as j think it’s perfect for my photo needs, and this definitely helped me get the most out of it for videos!

[@scorpio1155]

This video may be 5-years old, but it is among the best-produced KZbin videos that I have seen. Wouldn't it be nice if most other KZbinrs produced content of this quality!

[@SethKHughes]

Thanks Steve. I really appreciate it. So glad folks are still finding it helpful after all these years.

[@davidedinoi3468]

Amazing video. I bought my X-T1 8 month ago and now I want to start video recording in my Physiotherapist's studio. Thanks a lot, man!

[@bassbassbasser]

2019 - XT1 is still a great camera!

[@fffffffff1763]

Just bought one after using a T4i for 3 years. I wanted to make sure that I mastered the camera and lenses I was using before ever even CONSIDERING upgrading body. Dude...this X-T1 is insane to me. The low light performance is one of the most shocking things to me- compared to that T4i, it’s unreal

[@SaboTajh]

Thanks, this was really helpful! I was considering upgrading to x-t2 but now I will spend more time honing my video skills with the x-t1. The quality is definitely useful for web.

[@SethKHughes]

SaboTajh - You're absolutely right. I'm really glad you found this info helpful. Thanks for the comment and happy shooting.

[@LegacyStudio]

Just bought an XT1 body in 2021 and youve answered a ton of my questions! Appreciate it!

[@SethKHughes]

Congrats! It’s still a great camera! Glad this video is still helping folks. Have fun!

[@paulie_b-007]

Very helpful video. Thank you for taking your time to share that with us.

[@SethKHughes]

You're welcome. I'm glad you found it helpful.

[@ToddBrunsvold]

Great video Seth. Looking forward to more videos...

[@SethKHughes]

Thanks Todd - I'm glad you're along for the ride!

[@stevekaboobiroo1479]

Great demonstration and tips. Thanks for sharing.

[@SethKHughes]

Happy to share. Thank you for watching Steve.

[@heatherraftery9002]

Awesome video! Just transitioned from Canon to Fuji and this was an excellent tutorial to get me started on playing with the video functions. :D

[@SethKHughes]

Congrats Heather! I also made the switch from Canon. There was an adjustment period of about a week or two but when I got familiar with the Fujifilm there was no looking back. Let me know if you have any questions!

[@a.wcomicpublications4186]

Heather Raftery hows the video last i heard it only last 30 mins and then stops recordingafter that 30 min time period

[@timcombes9054]

Great video! Thank you. I especially appreciate including your outtakes because you remind us amateurs that professionals sometimes have bad days. lol

[@SethKHughes]

Thanks for the feedback Tim. I probably have at least 15 minutes worth of screw ups and outtakes from this project. The day I shot this I could barely formulate a sentence! Ha!

[@ivardahl-larsen]

Very informative for a still photographer who occasionally does a video now and then.

[@yashwinning]

Holy shit the footage actually looks pretty good. Which is pretty surprising since everyone including Fuji themselves have said that (before the x-pro2 and x-t2 came out) Fuji cameras were never made for video which is why their video looked pretty bad. But here I am, genuinely surprised at how good the footage from the camera looks! Have you recorded more videos with the Fuji x-t1 that I can check out?

[@SethKHughes]

Kind of surprising, right? The footage is very usable for sure. You're just limited to a simple set of video features. Although, I forgot to mention a bonus: there's a built in intervalometer which makes timelapses a breeze. If you want to see more footage, this vlog was shot mostly with the X-T1 starting at the time linked here... kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5i1gaZqobF9qpI

[@yashwinning]

Seth K. Hughes Thanks! I've been watching some of your vlogs. You're living a pretty dope life. How's the nomadic life going? And how does your photography job fit into it all? Like do you take jobs from the places you're at or something? I'm curious about that.

[@SethKHughes]

Yeah, it's pretty great. It suits my wife and I well for right now. Although it has its ups and downs. It requires me to hustle on all fronts, photography wise. Always trying to develop new projects and opportunities (local + national) while maintaining existing ones. Also, I shoot a fair amount of stock imagery for supplemental income. It's hard work but at least I love it!

[@rynowilco]

Great stuff, Seth! More videos, please!

[@SethKHughes]

Happy to oblige Ryan! More to come...

[@Hedgey2]

Thanks, looks good and everyone said it was poor quality video , i get my XT1 next week :)

[@alexm.s.5143]

Hi Seth thank for the quick reply. I'm referring to the scene where you are looking straight at the camera and talking. Also the one from 0cean and rocks would be nice to know. :)

[@SethKHughes]

The talking head shots are with the 50-140mm. The shallow DOF shots of the ocean are with the 35mm. The wide angle shots are with the 14mm. Hope that helps. Fujinon lens XF14mm f/2.8 - amzn.to/29SpGJk Fujinon XF35mm f/1.4 - amzn.to/2bjjSKB Fujinon XF50-140mm f/2.8 - amzn.to/1XtVJES

[@alexm.s.5143]

Seth K. Hughes thank you :)

[@JeremyGalloway]

This video restored my faith, after seeing so many sample clips from the XT-1 exhibiting the worst aliasing I have seen in many years. Did they fix it with firmware? Or did you correct it in post?

[@joshuahahn9863]

Great Video Seth!

[@SethKHughes]

Thanks for watching Josh! As you know I'm used to being on the other side of the camera. Having fun with it though.

[@sashkagvs]

[@SethKHughes]

Glad this video is still helping people nearly four years later!

[@chingf41]

Excellent video! I really enjoyed that you included clips displaying scenes take at different ISOs and clips of sounds using the lavalier and just the camera mic. Love everything about it. Except I wish it was for my camera instead of a Fuji! :)

[@SethKHughes]

Glad you enjoyed it Ching! I really appreciate the comment.

[@driftingpicture681]

Dear Seth, Usually, shutter speed is double the frame rate. However, why are you recommending shutter speed 1/150th of a second for 24fps ?

[@SethKHughes]

I was trying to say 1/50th. I agree, the way it came out was confusing.

[@driftingpicture681]

Thank you for prompt reply Seth. I was just confused. I bought a XT1 few days ago, and playing it around for video. And, I got a lot stuffs from your video and blog. Your posting is a great relieve for me.

[@SethKHughes]

Glad to hear it! Enjoy the new camera and more than anything just shoot! That's the best way to learn.

[@robinaart72]

thanks for this - I have an XT1 but was looking to buy a smaller camera for taking into the mountains to record en plein air vids...I think I'll just stick with the fuji :)

[@akanbilincoln3891]

Why do people say Fujifilm xt1 is not good for video recording? In fact, I really prefer your this video that was shot with the xt1. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this video, it's even good for professional video.

[@yinhong82]

Thanks Much. by the way, is there a way to set focus point while shooting video ? (i've tried every single setting but not finding one)

[@actstuntcam]

Cool, you answered the questions I had very quickly. Nice work :)

[@SethKHughes]

Glad I could help!

[@thensome09]

Great video Seth! I'm about to delve into Video on my XT1 and plan on getting the Rode Smartlav+ Lavalier. Did this work out of the box using the 3.5 male to 2.5 female adapter. Is it 2 ring that only works?

[@SethKHughes]

I've never tried wiring it up the the camera. That's not really the point of a lavalier. The Rode Smartlav plugs into your smartphone and enables clean audio while being away from the camera. The track is then synced in post production.

[@artezenfilm7806]

hey, I was wondering if this could be applied to a x-t10? i'm deciding what camera to go for and the x-t10 fits my budget but I could also go for the x-t1. The video quality looks amazing btw, good job !

[@Chimsonovan]

I personally wouldnt recommend Fuji anyone who want's to shoot videos from time to time. They are imo unusable (at least for now) because of the fact you can't set the contrast and the whole blacks often eats up the footage. Althoug I read somewhere you can decript the videos after wards, but that is way too much effort for someone who shoots videos on a regular. Perfect for stills tho, cus Fuji is super light weight and feels rly fluent to work with. The video is 0/10 tho for me. Very disapointed

[@ivardahllarsen3377]

Very good and clear. Well done.

[@Svensbyemil]

Hi Seth! Great video, thank you. What lens were you using for filming the close-ups (1:25)? Would've guessed the 35mm, but unless you have two of those it's something else. :)

[@SethKHughes]

Thanks for checking out the vid. Glad you enjoyed it! I'm pretty sure it was the 27mm2.8 pancake.

[@SethKHughes]

This one - amzn.to/2cUQ87o

[@Svensbyemil]

Cool, pretty shallow DOF for 2.8. Thanks a lot!

[@JohnnyMonk]

Hi... With the microphone settings... Which one do you use? Mic/remote release? I don't know how to do it ahah

[@SethKHughes]

Yes, then in menu settings choose mic.

[@tomsteger1]

Great video! Thank you...looks awesome!

[@peterlangdown]

Great video! I love my XT1 and was wandering whether it is actually any good at video... now I know! :p

[@SethKHughes]

Thanks Peter. Glad you found it useful.

[@peterlangdown]

Yes really useful thanks bud! Im getting the rx100 iv as well, so now I have a good dual camera set up :D

[@SethKHughes]

That'll be a great combo! Very similar to my vlog setup. Enjoy!

[@GabeSanchez]

Do you know how the XT-10 compares as far as video? Many people bash it to pieces, but this looks great. Just picked one up.

[@SethKHughes]

Pretty much all of the tips in this video apply to X-T10- as well. It has the same sensor as the X-T1, so the image quality will be identical. It's all about shooting with a flat film simulation and use manual focus as much as possible. The auto focusing isn't ideal for video.

[@PhilChan22]

Seth K. Hughes hi Seth. How do you focus on yourself when you're vlogging? It would rarely go into focus when I'm on Manuel mode unless I am behind the camera to do the adjustments. Auto mode has been working pretty well for me if when I'm vlogging and in front of the camera.

[@DanielKwan]

Thank you for this video. I just found something incredibly frustrating with the X-T1. If I'm using the Fujifilm Cam Remote app (iPhone) to remotely record video, the camera will not use the external mic plugged to the camera. It just uses the built-in mic. But if I record video using the camera without the app, the it uses the external mic as expected. Did you or anyone else encounter this issue also, or is it just me??

[@SethKHughes]

That's very interesting. I've never encountered that because I don't use the app in that way. Bummer. Are you on the latest firmware? It's possible they fixed the bug with the new release that came out May 2017.

[@DanielKwan]

Yeah I'm on the latest firmware. I also called Fujifilm support. The guy looked it up and saw others had the same problem too. He said he'd send a note over to Japan about this. Hopefully it gets fixed.

[@SethKHughes]

Good to know. Fujifilm is good about stuff like that. They will likely fix it so long as they keep doing X-T1 updates.

[@simonneholm475]

Really great video.. I will make a video with my Fuji X1. But what was the name of the microphone you have on the shirt?

[@SethKHughes]

Thank you Simonne! It's the Rode smartLav+ (it records to your mobile phone and sounds great). amzn.to/2ntaSYi

[@simonneholm475]

Thanks Seth, to my mobile phone. Then I add it to the video on the computer?

[@SethKHughes]

+Simonne Holm That's right. You'll need to sync it up in your computer editing software.

[@simonneholm475]

Ok thank you!

[@gabequezada2066]

[@SethKHughes]

Thank you Gabe. Much appreciated.

[@gabequezada2066]

@@SethKHughes Your welcome Seth. I have a question if you dont mind since you have much more experience with this camera than I do since I just bought it. But what Gimbal would you recommend for the FUJI XT-1 or the Fuji XT-10? I know that certain gimbals work with certain cameras that you are able to control the camera features from the gimbal controls themselves but I know FUJI is not one of those compatible cameras. Thank you in advance Seth

[@SethKHughes]

On the contrary, there is gimbal support for the Fujifilm X-T3, X-T4 and X-T30. I talk about this subject in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qomunXmenZx8gNk But the cameras you mentioned are not supported. That said, you don’t need to connect the camera for the gimbal to stabilize it. Therefore any camera may work and it may still be worth it for you.

[@gabequezada2066]

@@SethKHughes What an awesome video.. I wish I had the xt-3 or xt-4 as I only have the xt-1. But from the looks of it I can still use it with out a problem. I think I should just have all my camera settings in place and just hit record and then just move around with it. Am I correct in assuming that? Thank you by the way for you insanely fast response and your assistance. Best, Gabe

Thanks man, I was wonder why the autofocus wasn't working with me

[@stephaniecosby227]

Hi there, can you explain a bit more how to use the lavalier? I understand that you had both the rode "shotgun" mic on the camera and the the rode lavalier plugged into your cellphone and attached to you...but then I'm lost. Could you share a link to some explanation about synching up the audio from the lavalier mic in post processing? Thanks in advance!

[@SethKHughes]

That depends on your editing software of choice. Final Cut has syncing features built in while Premiere requires a plugin I believe. If I were you I would just Google it. Should be pretty easy to find the info you're seeking.

[@stephaniecosby227]

I did some searching and reading (often it's difficult to craft a search question if you're a newbie) and I have one final question - would you ever use just use the rode lavalier as the sole audio source or is the camera mounting microphone in tandem really required for quality. (fuji xt1 camera)

[@SethKHughes]

Yes, for interviews you could just use a lav mic only. That is standard practice for interviews because there's less chance of picking up other ambient noise. If you're standing within 5-10ft of a shotgun mic (mounted on camera or a pole) and it's connected to your camera it makes the post production easier but theres a greater chance you could get ambient noise.

[@stephaniecosby227]

Awesome thanks so much for your help (time)!

[@astridpiepschyk8899]

This is really helpful, thank you.

[@SethKHughes]

You’re welcome. Glad you found it useful.

[@TaiwanFirst]

Hi Seth with the 2.5mm adapter my camera does not seem to recognize the shotgun mic. Selecting MIC in camera did not seem to receive better sound also. I wonder if you have seen it before?

[@SethKHughes]

Did you solve this? I'm not sure what it could be other than the mic not being powered up, the input levels are too low or the 2.5mm adapter is faulty.

[@HamidShibataBennett]

Oh, a woodpecker! Thanks for this thoughtful summary. So, I find the placement and usage of the X-T1's video record button to be less than ideal. Is there another way?

[@SethKHughes]

Sorry Hamid. Not much you can do about that. If you're having trouble getting the Fn button to work, be sure to hold it down for 1-2 seconds. Thank you for watching!

[@ghifariabi]

Thanks Seth! What a great video. I'm gonna use your tips for my next video project. However I found it really hard to hit record button (usually need around 1sec and makes the camera shaking) to start the video. Any idea how to overcome this problem?

[@george.speirs]

Abi Sofyan Ghifari Set the function button on the front face of the camera to "video". Easy to reach when doing video shoots. 👍🏽

[@heinzbernstein2712]

The location with the water looks great. May I ask where that is?

[@SethKHughes]

Sure! You're looking at Acadia National Park, Maine.

[@ONLY4YOOJ]

I plan on making simple videos, documentation purposes mostly, and am very interested in going the Fuji path. I wanna be able to take really good video, like, let's say of a gig at night or a night out with friends. But I also want to be able to take good pictures. I'm struggling between the X-T1 and the X-T20. Assuming I can get them at around the same price with the same 18-55mm lens, which should I go for? What key differences should I know between those two?

[@SethKHughes]

If it were me I would get the X-T20. It has a better sensor (4k video, 24mp stills), improved autofocus. Just don't get it wet because it's not weather sealed like the X-T1. Also, the X-T1 is a little bit larger and is made of magnesium alloy rather than plastic. If tactile feel and durability is more important than image quality then you will be happier with the X-T1. I recommend getting your hands on them at a camera store to compare how they feel. Enjoy!

[@dmitrimoudraninets7761]

[@SethKHughes]

You can do both. There's a 2.5 mm input Jack on the side. An external recorder is a great option too. I have a lav mic that plugs into my smartphone. Links are in the video description.

[@Alexeiyuriev]

Hey Seth. Thanks for the video. I have a question about connecting a Rode mic to Fuji X-T1. You can't connect it directly, as it has a 3,5 mm jack, while Fuji only has a 2,5 mm port. Did you use an adaptor? Does it affect the quality of the sound in any way? Thank you

[@SethKHughes]

Great question Alexei! I was hoping someone would ask about that. I debated whether to put this in the video, but decided to keep it short. You need the following adapter, or something similar: Audio Adapter 2.5mm male to 3.5mm female - amzn.to/29OSDbV I have not experienced any compromise in audio quality using this.

[@investortownhall]

Just noticed you used the 50-140mm which I'm considering buying. But in addition to WR down to 14F and great photos I need it to record folk singing musicians and pop bands in crowded areas outdoors at Disney at night using this focal range. But while I've seen the great photos I've heard it's "noisy". Restrictions require I can only record video with a good on camera hot-shoe external stereo high quality mic. But I can't find anyone with that experience using this camera with that lens and using an external on camera mic. I'd be recording with external battery grip. Do you have any experience with the lens "noise"? Do you think outdoors with low crowd noise and an excellent stage speaker/sound systems this lens could be used with an external mic up above the back end of the barrel to record say a folk singer in simple C-AF on the X-T2 without the mic picking up any continuous annoying lens noise? Thanks for any thoughts based upon experience anyone can give me.

[@SethKHughes]

The image stabilization does constantly hum, however, given the sound system and crowd noise you speak of, I seriously doubt the hum will be detectable.

Hi Seth, I can't understand the basics of shooting a video, I mean when i click the shooting button it makes a photo not a video. And also, does this camera make videos no longer than 12 sec? Thanks

[@SethKHughes]

Hi Alberto. You need to do some serious googling and/or manual studying. Ha! ;) Look for the tiny button next to the shutter. That's your record button. Also, yes, you can record clips up to 27 minutes.

[@albertopicciau9934]

Seth K. Hughes ah ok! Thank you very much!

[@finallyanime]

Can someone please tell me how to shoot stills while in recording mode? Is there an option to allow this? Might seem silly but I would shoot clips all the time with my canon t4i and for those amazing moments I'd get stills during the vid too

[@SethKHughes]

You have to choose between shooting video or shooting stills. Doing both simultaneously is not an option.

[@johntravena119]

There’s something to be said for amateurs not having to mortgage their house just to pay for memory cards and storage. It seems the pros are fond of these older cameras that shot beautiful pictures at 12-16 MP.

Thanks for info!

[@SenorSwiftie]

I'm sorry for knowing you so late. really i am. good job dude

[@andyonchestnut]

Hi Seth. Thanks for the video as I will be filming a friends lecture and you have provided valuable hints. As a newbie, maybe you could clear something up for me. In your video you say you like shooting at 24 fps and a 150 shutter speed. But then you say the shutter speed should be 2 times the frame speed. Do you mean: at least at least 2 times the shutter speed since 150 is more than 2X24. Thanks

[@SethKHughes]

Hi Andrew, The way I said this came out a bit confusing. What I meant was doubling 24 equals 48 (50 is the closest match). Therefore 1/50 shutter speed. Hope that helps.

[@andyonchestnut]

Thanks, I see my confusion now. You were saying 1/50th and not 150. As I watched you turn the shutter speed dial it wasn't clear you were turning to 50! I did note the lighting you used during your video and thought it had a great effect on illuminating your face. I will be shooting indoors, likely in a classroom. Would you advise similar lighting for best effects? BTW, I did buy the RODE mike via you site and it arrived today. Again thanks. Andy

[@thomasstockinger-glatz6350]

Hi Seth, great video! I got that with the 1/50 shutter speed. My problem is that on the dial wheel, i can only choose 1/30 or 1/60.

[@SethKHughes]

Put it on 1/60 and then use the front wheel to dial back to 1/50. You should be able to see it change on screen.

[@MrToonfish]

Cannot make the AF works on my X-T1 in video mode... FW 4.31, Continuous Focus on the front and zone AF in the menu... I cannot understand what I am doing wrong but the AF stays always in the same position of the first object I am pointing at before starting the recording. I am lost.

[@SethKHughes]

Strange. And the AF works in photo mode? Which lens are you using? Have you tried a different lens?

[@jedailprod]

Nice video, But having the Xe-2 (same sensor) I find it quit poor at capturing dynamic range, even the flatest profile neg std is way to contrasty, and no precontrol on the shadows and highlights unlike Canon. Those older Fuji cameras are great for stills but not so much for video. I would suggest to use a second hand Canon with magic Lantern firmware (it allows shooting raw video, and plenty of other usefull features) for the price.

[@SethKHughes]

+jedailprod Thanks for the comment. Yes, these cameras are definitely designed for still photography. The point of the video is to help people who have the XT-1 achieve the best possible video quality within its limitations.

[@bluewhales10]

Hi Seth, is there a time limit with this camera when filming? My old camera now can only take videos for 15 minutes, does this one have a limit? Thanks!

[@SethKHughes]

Yes, it's about 14 mins.

[@waxenfelter]

Hi Seth, great review. Is the limit based on something like file size? So after 14 minutes you have to stop and start again?

[@SethKHughes]

Correct. However, this is a non-issue for me because I tend to shoot all my clips under 2 mins.

[@emmetbrown4205]

hi! what kind of light is used?

[@slaQ83]

The main problem with fuji's video is aliasing, but I don't really see any of it here. Is that due to the lens (aperture)? Or did you actually use something to remove aliasing in post?

[@SethKHughes]

I honestly haven't run into any aliasing issues or had the need to try and remove anything like moire in post. I do however avoid patterns and mostly shoot with a shallow depth of field on the X-T1. That seems to do the trick.

[@vanniedevi8322]

Moire can definitely be an issue. Once you've recorded it, you can't really fix it. My best advice is to avoid shooting scenes with textures and patterns. As for false color, thats not really an issue. However, it would depend on the film simulation that you're using. For example, Velvia renders colors with bold contrast and saturation. For the most accurate rendition go with STD Provia.

Ok thanks. I've researched other DSLRs and found out that moire is always a problem, but its just worse on the X-T1.

[@BrigitteRoseMasters]

Would the adapter work on the new TX2?

[@SethKHughes]

If you're referring to the mic adapter, you don't need one for the X-T2. It comes with the standard 3.5mm jack size.

Hey! what program do you use for editing fuji videos?

[@SethKHughes]

Adobe Premiere Pro

[@MyNycable]

Are you able to use an external monitor for live view?

[@SethKHughes]

Yes, there’s HDMI out

[@MyNycable]

I just confirmed it will not work. Will only work as playback but not live view.

[@SethKHughes]

Oh wow, thank you for the clarification. It's been a while since I used the hdmi on the X-T1.

[@minnird]

thanks!

[@myerwerl]

is the video quality of xt10 on par or the same with xt1?

[@SethKHughes]

Yes, same sensor but with a smaller camera body.

[@campingchefthailand]

Great! Thank you

[@natureartphotography]

Can someone here please tell me how to manually set the shutter speed to 1/50 (and not just 1/60 as with the shutter speed knob)?

[@SethKHughes]

Either set it to 1/60 and turn the thumb command wheel to fine tune increments, or set shutter dial to T for full the whole range of shutter speed control.

[@natureartphotography]

Oh, off course! Thank you kindly for your response!

[@suryono80]

Hei, thank you for the tips. I'm using Fuji XT-1 too, mainly for photoshoot. But lately, I'm begin to used it for recording movie too. And I'm dissapointed with the quality of the internal mic. I guess, I must attach external mic for a better result. And I'm considering to buy Fuji ST-1. What do u think? Thanks a lot

[@JonLow1121]

what was this shot on? the x-t1?

[@SethKHughes]

Exactly. Also the X-Pro2.

[@castanatra]

Awesome ! Thanks !

[@SethKHughes]

You're welcome!

[@bayudisaputra4348]

Select sony a6000 / fujifilm xT1 For photography

[@canmtb4676]

Fuji has X-T2 now. Is it worth to pay an extra $300 to get X-T2 or X-T1 should be good enough ?

[@SethKHughes]

Definitely spring for the X-T2. It's a major upgrade. Better sensor, better autofocus, better video capabilities, the list goes on and on....

[@lutolutokapeatbpwithgreg9695]

Thanks Seth!

[@leesah1001]

Great video! Do you have any recommendations for speed/class/size of SD cards that work well for video with the X-T1?

[@SethKHughes]

You don't need the latest/fastest SD cards. Anything around 95MB/S is sufficient. Personally I prefer SanDisk Extreme cards like this one... amzn.to/2rV8NJ1 ... because they've never corrupted or failed on me.

[@ashariariya6516]

what kind of nd filter you use?

[@SethKHughes]

Tiffen makes quality filters that won't break the bank. Here's a variable filter which is best for shooting video... amzn.to/2j5rsik p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica}

[@ashariariya6516]

oh thanks a lot man !

[@mixtecjaguar9824]

Thank You.

[@dersandmann6881]

So the camera doesn't has a flat profile?

[@SethKHughes]

There's no FLog or 'Raw' video format if that's what you mean. Otherwise, the profiles I mentioned are relatively flat. They work well enough.

[@dersandmann6881]

Seth K. Hughes so it's like on canon cameras?
