![]() ![]() I’m sure you’re familiar with the idea of different colors of white household light bulbs. This will ensure that white is recorded as white, black is recorded as black and the overall color in your scene is correctly balanced.Ĭolor temperature is a basic concept that is important to understand. It is crucial to correctly set and lock your camera white balance (color temperature). I have found the best way to set and control exposure with FiLMiC Pro is to use a variable ND filter. The locked value will turn red but once locked, neither value will change unless you change them on purpose. For me this is usually ISO since I want to keep it as low as possible to record minimum image noise. You will usually lock whichever value is the highest priority. Once your ISO and shutter speed combination is where you want it, tap on either the ISO or shutter speed value to lock it. If you want to set and lock exposure manually, open the manual exposure controls, drag the curved slider and watch the ISO and shutter speed change. In FiLMiC Pro, just tap on the exposure reticle on screen to lock it. Once you’re happy with your exposure, whether it’s auto exposed or manual, make sure you lock it so it doesn’t shift while you’re recording. It looks unnatural, and is one of the first signs of amateur video. You don’t want exposure changing all over the place during your shot. Auto exposure alone won’t do this for you, it has to be a deliberate creative decision and a manual exposure adjustment. This could then become a fantastic looking shot. In high contrast back lit scenes, I always let subjects in the foreground become dark silhouettes. Instead, the best approach is to manually expose for the sky, and let the foreground be under exposed. In the case of the latest Apple iPhones which employ dynamic tone mapping, the foreground levels will be automatically lifted, and full of video noise.Ĭhoosing to manually adjust exposure for the people in the foreground will result in a completely over exposed sky. Auto exposure will most likely result in an over exposed sky and under exposed foreground. As a general rule, over exposure is always to be avoided.Ī bright backlit scene, such as a people watching a sunset or a brightly lit fountain show, is a good example. I’ve abandoned, or thrown out countless shots before that just wouldn’t work. How you approach challenging lighting conditions is what will determine if a shot is useable or not. ![]() Anamorphic desqueeze of preview only and optional desqueezed recording.Integration with Zhihyun Smooth 4 and Movi Cinema Robot smartphone gimbals.Control over black, white and mid point, shadow and highlight control with histogram.

It has an excellent user interface, responsive auto and manual control, and a custom image processing pipeline that gets better with every update. I want to help you achieve the same kind of image quality, but it’s important to understand you’ll have to learn how to shoot for post, and actually put in the post production work.ĭon’t worry though, the whole point of this website, and my YouTube channel is to show you how.įiLMiC Pro is a professional video camera app that turns your smartphone into a feature packed professional video camera. There are no magical camera settings that will make your video look truly “cinematic”, despite what other YouTube videos may try to tell you. I don’t use luts, or sell lut packs, and I don’t employ quick and easy shortcuts. They are not produced straight out of the camera. The images I’m showing you here, and all over this website are the result of professional color correction and post production. This is not necessarily an image that looks perfect right away on your device. This means all of the camera settings, and techniques used when shooting video are aimed at capturing an image that can be further manipulated. Post processing includes color correction, sometimes image reconstruction and compositing, and creative color grading. Shooting for post production means capturing an image that is primarily suitable for further post processing. The one principle that is the foundation for all my work with smartphone imaging, is to shoot for post. ![]()
