Moved desk around to try new angle for livestreams. I think this is a better background. The quality didn’t seem great though in the quicktime recording.
I looked at best camera settings for video and found this: BEST YouTube Camera Settings For Video (Step by Step Guide) - YouTube
- HDMI info display: clean 4K output. Red camera settings, section 3. I don’t see where to set the frame rate.
- 1/60 shutter speed (twice frame rate), assuming 30fps, but apparently, the HDMI output is set to 60fps (need to verify this), so shutter speed should be 1/120.
- Most people say to set ISO as low as possible. Justin Brown says that on most cameras, up to 800 should be fine: Camera Settings for VIDEO (Quick Start Guide!) - YouTube
- White Balance to match lights. If lights don’t have adjustable kelvins, assume they’re 5000k. Amaran 100D is 5600K. I also have the Neewer ring light on the right side, which is 5600K as well. It says 3200K-5600K, but I’m not sure that’s a range. I think 3200K is with the orange clips.
- AF mode: face + tracking
