Camera settings

[R3bel1]

Been searching for the "ideal" camera settings for a while and still haven't found it. I know it may be down to personal preference but it would be interesting to know what most people are shooting in.

The one I think work the best for me is:

2.7k/24fps
ISO: 100
Shutter speed: as close to the 180 degree rule as I can get without ND Filters(still researching sets)
0 0 -1
D-Cinelike

I would add gimbal settings etc but away from the drone and can't remember

What are you guys using?

 

[DJI_dutch]

I always use 1080 60fps.

Depends on what I'm shooting.

2.7K/60FPS or 1080P/120FPS for action video. 4K/30FPS for scenic video.

ISO: Close to 100 as possible
Shutter Speed: Found tweaking shutter speed to achieve -0.7 - +0.7 EV is pretty good depending on lighting
WB - Using either sunny or cloudy preset
D-Cinelike
0-0-0

4k 30fps for landscape or 60fps if there's any foreground movement that would look nice slowed down (waterfall, birds etc) - both slowed to 24fps in post
100 ISO
Shutter - 1/60 for 30fps, 120 for 60fps (required ND filters) If not, as close to this as possible without over exposing (turn on zebras to see what is overexposed)
0 sharpness, 0 saturation, -1 or -2 contrast
Cinelike
WB balance, sunny or cloudy depending on conditions

I found those settings to work the best

I always use 1080 60fps.

Definitely try out the 2.7k 60fps, similar results but huge jump in picture quality

Thanks! I’ll try!

I like 2.7k 60 but it kills my old Macbook lol

It what way, playback or editing?

 

[R3bel1]

I can edit once I use proxy on FCPX but to play them straight from the drone it frame skips
