If a picture is worth a thousand words, imagine how many you get for a 4K film. Lights, camera, action!
VIDEO TIPS
Double up
Set your shutter speed to double your frame rate for natural motion blur: 1/50s for 25fps, 1/100s for 50fps, and so on.
Shake it off
If you want to shoot handheld, opt for a camera with image stabilisation. This will create a smoother look.
Keep your focus
Unless you have a new camera with excellent video AF, you’ll be better off with manual focus for consistently sharp shots.
