The Manual setting gives you control over the aperture and shutter speed. Shooting this way takes a little bit of work, but it&#8217;s worth it, and after you experiment a bit, you&#8217;ll start to get a good feel for the settings!<\/h5>\n<p><strong>ISO<\/strong> is a camera setting that changes how sensitive the camera&#8217;s sensor is to light. The higher the ISO, the more sensitive the sensor will be, which allows you to shoot better images in low light conditions. It&#8217;s a good idea to keep your ISO as low as possible for the best looking image. Sometimes, you\u2019ll need to bump it up a bit if there isn\u2019t a lot of light.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/a.vimeocdn.com\/images\/videoschool\/iso_menu.png\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/a.vimeocdn.com\/images\/videoschool\/iso_menu.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><strong>Good ISOs:<\/strong> 160, 320, 640, 1250, and 2500<br \/>\n<strong>Avoid using:<\/strong> 125, 250, 500, and 1000. These ISO settings create noise and make your footage look grainy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>White balance<\/strong> is the process of capturing the correct colors for the type of available light. Think of it as making sure the color white is always white, and doesn\u2019t have blue or red tints. Many cameras come with an easily understandable white balance menu, as well as an auto white balance feature.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/a.vimeocdn.com\/images\/videoschool\/white_balance_menu.png\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/a.vimeocdn.com\/images\/videoschool\/white_balance_menu.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Use the presets for whatever condition you\u2019re shooting in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Depth of Field<\/strong> (DOF) refers to the part of your image that is in focus. A deep DOF will show nearly everything in the shot sharply in focus. If you have a shallow DOF, a narrow range with in your video image will be in focus. A shallow depth of field allows for greater emphasis to be placed on your main subject.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/a.vimeocdn.com\/images\/videoschool\/dof_diff.png\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/a.vimeocdn.com\/images\/videoschool\/dof_diff.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Using slow, and controlled movements while your camera is attached to a tripod will give you the best shots. A good technique to try when you pan from side to side is to hold your shot for about ten seconds, then start your slow pan, and then hold your shot another ten seconds before cutting. This gives you three different shots to work with when it comes time to edit!<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 20px; font-size: 14px; color: #3e3e3e;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<h3><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/wig.bz\/w\">For more advanced learning check out one of mine, Dan Chung&#8217;s or Drew Gardner&#8217;s training videos from F-Stop Academy<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/wig.bz\/w\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12099 lazyload\" title=\"banner1\" data-src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/banner1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/banner1.gif 468w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/banner1-310x39.gif 310w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 468px) 100vw, 468px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 468px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 468\/60;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12099\" title=\"banner1\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/banner1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/banner1.gif 468w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/banner1-310x39.gif 310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 468px) 100vw, 468px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/shooting-video-with-a-dslr\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[51,31],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[1280,1043,3846,1359,3782,1817,300,3843,310,314,2325,406,3847,2728,283,3845,577,3844,3842,647],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12050"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12050"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12050\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12050"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=12050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
