Nikon Z30 | Cinematic vlog Mountain Stream | Filmed with Nikon Z30 | Japan

With Nikon Z30, I shot a vlog of Oku-Daisen "Kitanizawa Stream", the location of Oku-Daisen's natural water commercial featuring Hikaru Utada.

A short walk from the main road leads to a mountain stream, but the green of the trees is so beautiful that it feels like you are in a deep forest. It is a recommended healing spot where you can hear the voices of various birds.
I brought Suntory's Okudaisen Tennensui and drank it during my break. I feel like Utada Hikaru.
I started shooting at 8:30 in the morning, but there were people who had already come for sightseeing, and groups were thrilled. It's a popular spot.
It is a new gimbal from this time. I bought a second-hand DJI RSC2 and was wondering whether to go with the RS3 mini, but since the payload is 3kg (2kg for the RS3 mini) and the price is cheaper when used, I decided on the RSC2.
When I use it, it has excellent stability performance, and even if the gimbal is slightly tilted in a strange wind, it keeps it perfectly horizontal. Pretty satisfied.
The lens is the usual NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR (lens kit lens).
This time, I shot at 1920 x 1080px 24p, usually 30P, but 24P is more popular, so I tried it. I feel good.

I don't speak japanese, but this is beautiful! I'm also planning to get the Nikon Z30 :)

thank you. The Z30 is one of Nikon's cheaper cameras, but I think it's a camera with high cost performance because it can take good videos and photos. As for the color, the photo will be taken exactly as you see it, so I think it would be better to use editing software to adjust the color to your liking. This video also has a lot of adjustments in terms of color. Log shooting is not possible, but if you shoot with Picture Control Standard or Portrait, you can easily correct the colors using editing software. The microphone performance is surprisingly good, so if you attach a window screen, you may not need an aftermarket microphone. The camera's built-in microphone is not directional, so it captures sound from all directions, but if you use it for volg, I think it's convenient because it can also capture voices speaking from behind the camera. It is better to be careful about heat shutdown. The heat will not stop when shooting full HD, but if you shoot in heavy-duty modes such as 4K, slow, or 120p, the heat may stop about an hour after you start recording. In that case, if you let it rest for about 1 minute, you can continue shooting for about 30 minutes, but the heat will stop again. Thermal arrest is common in the summer, but less likely in the cold seasons of fall and winter. I think it's best to mainly shoot in full HD. KZbin has sufficient image quality even in full HD. It has its good points and bad points, but I think it's a well-balanced camera because it's so light that it's not a pain to carry around every day, and it can take reasonably high-quality videos and photos. I've been using this camera for a year, so I know the general performance, and I think it's a good choice.

Remarkable

Thank you

[@dbrunnin]

you are great at color correction...please teach me

[@videosketch999]

thank you. Color correction is difficult to explain in text, but I will try to write it down. I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro. This is how to correct the color. First, arrange two or three videos on the timeline and create an adjustment layer on the top layer. Perform color correction on the adjustment layer. By doing this, you can perform color correction on all images arranged side by side. Next, do some basic correction with Lumetri color. Mainly adjusts the shadows, highlights, and exposure of the light. Shadows are often dropped. Next, increase the natural saturation of the creative adjustments a bit. The color will be better. Additionally, adding a little vignette will give it a three-dimensional effect. So far, we'll be using one adjustment layer. Color collection. Next, do color grading. Furthermore, create a new adjustment layer and make color adjustments to it. Key the creative's HSL secondary. Select the yellowish part of the video (such as the skin) with the eyedropper and adjust the washing area with the bar. Then invert the selection. Now that you have selected the parts other than the skin, set Refine Noise Removal and Blur appropriately. After this, modify the shadows, midtones, and highlights to make them a little more blue-green. Color this area as you like. This will give you a so-called teal and orange color. All you have to do is adjust the color tone of the video individually while watching the video. It usually looks like this.

@@videosketch999 thank you I will try this...I am using Davinci but it's similar

今回の動画のコンセプトは、【緑】ですね🎵 鮮やかな緑に囲まれ、マイナスイオン吸い巻りですね😃

[@videosketch999]

まさに緑一色でした!　あとは音ですね。渓流の流れる音、いろんな鳥の声が聞こえて癒やされました。 でも、ちょっと水の音が大きすぎて音楽が聞こえにくくなってしまいました。音の調整も大切ですね。

自然の中での撮影、癒されますよね、、、。足元にも注意してくださいね。

[@videosketch999]

癒やされました!　森の散策にはいい季節ですね。 やっぱりバックしながらジンバル撮影だと、足元つまづきやすいので気をつけます。 ありがとうございました。
