Great you‘ve mentioned that Stabilization requires higher shutter speeds. There is one thought I would add: People in „PAL countries“ tend to use 25fps instead of 30fps. Unless they don‘t want to publish in TV 30fps or 60fps is also more reasonable here, because most of the cell phone or computer displays have a refresh rate of 60fps, so 25fps material will be frame converted when displayed there, which adds additional stutter.

Out of curiosity why 50fps over 60fps, does shooting in 60fps not give the cinematic look as well?
@M1R0_Life_through_a_lens3 ай бұрын
Hello. In Europe, we have the PAL standard that defines the broadcast frame rates 25, 50, 100... This is because the electric curent here oscilates with 50Hz, so this means that there is no flickering of lights in the video. The "cinematic" frame rate used in the movies is 23.97fps due to historical reasons, so for us in Europe, it would be 25fps. And that's it. 50 or 60fps playback will not give you a classical film look. I hope this helps. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!

If the camera will be shaking a lot, then set the shutter speed range to 200-8000s. You can use the 4k @25fps for a more "cinematic" look, but 50fps is, I think, better for a more smooth video.

Hello. I don't think resolution affects low light video performance. I honestly don't ever shoot anything less than 4k, so I can't really say. The jitters are a result of the shutter speed not being fast enough. If the camera is shaking, use at least 1/200s. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!

Hi there! I'm a complete noob here, and I hope you don't mind me asking a bunch of questions 🙂 . I plan to use the OA4 to record my road bike rides on a chest mount. Also, I'd be moving fast, and I ride during both day and night time, in and out of the city. What would be the optimal settings for both if I want to get clear captures of license plates, etc., and some short clips / vlogging here and there? I'm currently considering using 30 and/or 60 fps during daytime, and I will probably stick with 30 during night time. I'd only do some minimal processing like color grading via DJI's Lightcut app. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
@M1R0_Life_through_a_lens9 ай бұрын
Hello. In this case set the camera to normal colours and h.264, maybe set the sharpness to -1. Limit the shutter speed to 1/100-1/8000s and ISO 100-3200. Use 4k 4:3 so that you can reframe in post. I would use auto white balance because the camera has a dedicated colour sensor and it does a good job. I hope this helps. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!

@M1R0_Life_through_a_lens Just a follow-up, if I were to bump the ISO limit to 3200 (I'm currently at 100-1600), should I increase the noise reduction too? As for daytime recording, will you go for 30 or 60fps? I think 30 gives a sense of speed, but may not capture license plates as clearly as a 60 would. 60 is definitely smoother, but sometimes it seems unnatural to me. Is it also ok for the shutter speed for 60fps to be as slow as 1/100? I could only set the minimum value to 1/100 or 1/200. I really appreciate your help here 🙂
@M1R0_Life_through_a_lens9 ай бұрын
Too much noise reduction makes the video look very digital. Give it a try first. You can shoot 60fps and then play the video back on a 30fps timeline with no slowing down. It will look like a 30fps video. This way you're safe and can decide after the video is recorded. Set the min shutter speed to 1/200s. That's also what dji recommends for good stabilisation. Cheers!

Hello there. I'm using the Osmo 4 to record my rides in either 24 or 30fps, and I'm thinking of using gyroflow, so I won't have to increase the minimum shutter speed to 1/200 for rocksteady. This works mostly fine in broad daylight, however in low light / night (this also happens at daytime, but less often), I notice some weird shifting/shaking of the skies and of the roads. This seldom happen with the Rocksteady turned on. Are there other settings that should I check/change? Sharpness = -1 Noise reduc = -1 Iso = max 3200 Shutter = Manual 1/120 or Auto 1/100-1/8000 Thanks 😊
@M1R0_Life_through_a_lens8 ай бұрын
Hello! The flickering is a result of too slow shutter speed ==> motion blur. As the camera shakes it records the motion blur (even with 1/100s) and then when the video is stabilised, it looks like flickering. Best practise for action/shaking shots is to limit the shutter speed minimum to 1/200s. This way you don't get this problem. Gyroflow looks better then RockStady because it uses the motion data and makes the stabilisation more averaged out but it doesn't solve the flickering. Only a fast shutter speed does that. I hope this helps ;) Cheers!

Hello. The 180deg shutter rule should be followed if the camera is not moving. For action shots use a faster shutter speed. The frame rate should be constant. Could it be that your PC can't playback a fast frame rate video? Video players typical have problems if it's faster then 50/60fps. You need an editing software to slow down the video. You can try Davinci resolve. There is a free version called Beta. I hope this helps. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!

Hello. The minimum shutter speed should be 1/100s but even better 1/200s. In this case the ISO will have to be 1600 or more. Max 3200. 180deg shutter rule will always give you ghosting because it sets the shutter speed to 1/50s for 25fps and that is too slow for a moving camera. Ghosting is a result of motion blur captured when the camera is moveig/shaking and the video is stabilised the after so you don't see the shaking but you see the ghosting. I hope this helps. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!

@M1R0_Life_through_a_lens5 ай бұрын
Hello. 4k is better than 2.7k, so I would always recommend it on an action camera. I use 50fps because I live in Europe, and here we use the PAL standard, which amongst other things, sets the fps to 25, 50, 100. The reason is that electricity in Europe oscillate with 50Hz so 25 or 50fps synchonizes with that. In other words, the lights don't flicker in a video recording. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!

Ha! That's the paradox. If you want motion blur, then shaking the camera is out of the question. The videos you see on-line where things look clear but have motion blur, well that's added in post. Just make sure you don't shake the camera. Also in case of NDs you should manually expose because action cameras will rather raise the ISO then slow down the shutter speed so auto exposure is not good. You can also fix the ISO to 100 for instance. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!

Hello. If you don't plan to color grade, then avoid 10-bit colors. Also the HEVC is not supported by all devices and it doesn't really affect the video quality. Just the compression. I would go with H.264 and Normal colors, if you want to get videos strait out of the camera. Also keep in mind that this is an action camera and it does not have auto focus. The minimal focus distance is a good meter away from the camera so avoid any closeup shots. A smartphone is better for that. Thanks for the comment and support. Really apriciate it. Cheers!
