DSLR Aerial Video Tips

[dani_r]

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for setups on my 550D? We are using a Sigma 10-22mm lens.

I usually have it set to maximum 10mm and infinity focus. 25fps 1/50SS, ISO 100, fstop varies as I'm still learning the best one.

Does anyone have any suggestions to get the best out of the camera/lens for video?

Cheers

Dani

Use 60fps if you can.

Don't forget that Vimeo and Youtube will cut that back to 25 fps and some in compression, if that is your goal.

Hi Dani, we use the 550D for smaller/tighter stills work. Bloody thing creates so much Moire (and CA) that it's genuinely worthless for filming. For stills we pair it with the Canon 24mm with IS (Cheap/Light/Sharp/IS) and it does a good job.
