Best Camera Settings for YouTube [DSLR/Mirrorless/Action Camera]


welcome back to the channel in this
video I'll be showing you how to adjust
the settings on your camera to make your
videos look as good as possible for
YouTube now this is very important if
you just got your camera and let's just
say you're not Peter and Kenan yet which
honestly most of us are not so if that's
the situation for you definitely stick
around I'll talk about the different
settings you need to know in right here
I have an icon I'll actually be showing
you on a Canon camera but this works for
any other camera out there so even if
it's a phone camera with some pro
settings on there or if it's a you know
a mirrorless a DSLR whatever your camera
is I'm gonna show you how to adjust the
settings or what settings you want to
have so you can shoot the best videos
possible now a quick disclaimer in this
video I will be showing you the best
settings for a studio setup like this
where I have soft boxes and a grey
background and I'm not really moving
around but I'll also tell you later on
how you can apply these to maybe an
outdoor sort of motion type video or any
other video you might be taking so if
this is your first time on this channel
and you haven't yet subscribed but
you're looking to grow your YouTube
channel or your social influence on any
other platform whether that's Facebook
YouTube you know snapchat Instagram
whatever it is consider going down and
starting your growth now by clicking the
subscribe button to this channel my
brother and I are putting out videos
every single week to help you grow your
influence on the Internet
so first I want to
a little bit about the theory behind
this before I get into the settings and
this is gonna help you understand in
different situations how to adjust these
different settings to make your videos
look as good as possible so in a video
of course you have a whole bunch of
pictures 30 pictures per second 60
pictures per second whatever your frame
rate is that's going to be a bunch of
pictures smashed together to make your
video now each picture you need it to be
properly exposed now in photography that
have what is called the exposure
triangle now the exposure triangle each
point is a different setting on your
camera in these three settings makeup
essentially what is controlling the
brightness of your image so the first of
the three points I want to talk about is
shutter speed and this is very easy to
understand because the way your camera
works is for each frame as I said it's
taking a picture and it opens and closes
a shutter to let a certain amount of
light in now if you have a very slow
shutter so let's say 30 that means one
thirtieth of a second is the amount of
time that your aperture is open and then
the shutter closes and that's how much
light gets let in and recorded by your
sensor now if you move all the way up
like five hundred or thousand that means
one one thousandth of a second is the
time that it's open as you can imagine
because that's so much quicker there's a
lot less light that gets letting and
your images are going to be darker so
you really need a much brighter
surrounding in order to use that but the
benefit of that is actually that you're
not gonna have any blurring so for one
thirtieth of a second if something's
moving very fast when it's arturo ppens
it's here when it closes it's there
you're gonna have blurring between that
individual frame now the second point i
want to talk about is the aperture which
is essentially how big the hole is that
the light is allowed to come in through
the lens into your camera now this is a
little bit counterintuitive because the
smaller numbers are actually a bigger
aperture size because it's actually a
fraction so you have 1 over 1.8 would be
a very very wide aperture which means a
lot of light comes in which also means
that your depth of field is very narrow
so if you're taking a video of me right
now maybe my nose would be out of focus
and then my eyes would be in focus and
everything behind me would be very very
very out of focus so you have a very
blurry background but if you have two
people in a frame and maybe they're a
little farther apart from each other you
really need to make sure that you have
the aperture adjusted a little bit
smaller so that they're both in the
depth of field they're both in focus now
the third one is a little bit more
confusing and this is the ISO which is
essentially going to be the sensitivity
or
the gain of your sensor and the reason
that this is a little weird is because
it sort of this carried over from film
where the ISO would be something about
the film but right now just think of it
as the gain or the sense the sensitivity
on your sensor so essentially what
you're doing is you're saying if it's
really really dark out you take whatever
signals that your sensor is receiving
and you amplify them and as when you as
with any amplification sometimes there's
a little bit more noise in there and by
noise I'll show you an image right now
of what a noisy and a not a noisy
picture is we see sort of the grains in
there that is not quite accurate so the
sensor is picking up something and they
amplified it and amplified it a little
bit incorrectly and it wasn't actually
what if what was supposed to be there so
that's what it's known as noise the ISO
of course the lower number you get with
bright light situations generally the
better things are going to look you're
amplifying things less but when you're
in darker situations you sometimes have
to move it up a bit more okay so here we
have my SL - and I'm just going to show
you the settings on this camera now the
very first thing you want to do is right
now I'm shooting an automatic you want
to go over to manual you always want to
shoot in manual so you can control the
settings as much as possible to really
optimize what your camera is seeing and
recording so you can change all the
settings for any different light
situations so because we're in a studio
right now it's already set up pretty
well but the first thing you want to do
when you're setting this is you want to
go into right here is your shutter speed
now the shutter speed because it's a
touchscreen it's gonna look a little
different than some of the other cameras
maybe but the shutter speed you want to
make sure it's at least double whatever
your frame rate is so right now I'm
shooting thirty frames per second and
that means I could technically have each
frame as one thirtieth of a second and
it would be one continuously the shutter
would really almost never be closed
honestly so that's why you want to make
sure you're shooting at least double
that so if you're shooting 60 frames per
second make sure you have the shutter
speed is one one twentieth of a second
here I'm doing 30 frames per second so
I'm gonna make it 60 now the next thing
you want to do to optimize your settings
is go and change your aperture so right
here because I have a lot of light
coming in I can close my aperture a
little bit and it'll still work but I
typically like having the aperture as
open as possible so it focuses on me and
really blurs the background so you don't
see any wrinkles in the background you
don't see any small imperfections in
there and overall it's gonna look pretty
good so I always open that as much as
possible if you're using maybe a larger
lens like a 50 millimeter and you can go
all the way down to like 1.8 you might
now I want to push it that much because
sometimes what happens is you get a
little bit of vignetting where you see
like the black up in the corners because
this is a decent lens and it's really
not showing a whole lot of vignette II I
don't really care that much on this
scene right here I'm gonna open it all
the way up to 2.8 now the last thing you
want to do is change the ISO now the ISO
if it was too dark in here this would be
the last thing you'd bring up and you're
really depending on the camera you
really don't want to bring it above like
400 or 800 if you have a good camera if
you have a cheaper one you probably
don't want it bring it above 200 before
it starts to look a little bit grainy of
course the best you're gonna get is when
you're going down to 100 so I always
leave it down at 100 I have as much
light as possible
and that's how we're gonna have a
properly exposed image so right here we
have a proper exposure for when I'm
sitting there you're gonna have the gray
background you can have the white table
and then I'll be properly exposed and
properly lit I can always move my lights
around if the shadows look a little
weird but essentially that's what you're
gonna do when you want to have it lit as
well as possible now the next thing you
want to do after you have the proper
exposure is actually go into the menu
now every cameras gonna have this in a
different place but if we go on a Canon
camera for example you go to menu you go
to the camera a little little camera
image right there and for me it's in you
know tab number 3 you can go and change
the white balance now what you want to
do for white balance is you want to make
sure it's a custom white balance for
most situations sometimes you could use
a standard one so let's just show you in
a standard one for example if I just hit
the little Q button right there I can
change my white balance and say maybe
it's really cloudy if when I say cloudy
it's gonna be a little more orange and
yellow and maybe my skin tone it look a
little darker but the background won't
quite look grey to look a little bit
more like a brownish color so maybe I
want to say it's maybe shady instead and
that's gonna be a slightly different so
you can see that's even you know warmer
or you can go to like tungsten light
which is gonna be very blue so obviously
none of these are perfect if I'm really
lazy sometimes we'll just go to cloudy
and it looks good enough but if you
really want to have it look as good as
possible go into menu and go into custom
white balance now your custom white
balance what you have to do is you have
to take a picture first so I took a
picture of a plain white piece of paper
in front of my lights and actually by
putting it in front of my lights and
taking the picture then I go into menu
and I change the custom white balance to
this most recent picture you say set and
it'll set it as that and then later when
you're actually in your so let's just go
right back here when you're actually in
your settings here you can go over to
cus
my balance and it'll be perfectly
balanced based on the lighting your half
so it's going to match the temperature
of whatever light bulbs you have now
some other cameras you can control it
you know individually to exactly the
right temperature this typically works
very well for me okay so if you're
shooting a video outside and there's a
lot of motion or somebody's moving
around or any kind of sport you want to
first make sure that you're capturing it
without having blurry frames and in
order to do that you need to change your
shutter speed so we can go right here
and say you know you're watching some
kind of sport maybe it's a very
fast-moving sport maybe it's very bright
out maybe you can move that up to five
hundred or thousand with no problem at
all but if it's a little darker out and
you have to move it up you want to make
sure you don't keep it down because you
don't want the blurry frames but once
you move it up you'll see that
everything becomes very dark all of a
sudden so then you're going to have to
keep your exposure proper by changing
your ISO until it looks you know
approximately as bright as you need it
to be so right there I'm going up to
eight hundred by using a 501 500 of a
second as my shutter speed it's not
ideal but you know you might have a
little bit of grain but if you're doing
something was a lot of movement or
action it's gonna make sense that you
have to do this depending on what your
setup actually looks like you might not
be able to optimize all these settings
at the same time so three things that I
recommend getting in ascending order of
cost the first one is going to be better
lighting so if you're using lights
specifically with different colors if
you have one that's kind of bluish and
one's kind of yellowish I recommend not
doing that now some of the professionals
might do that for different purposes but
when you're starting off I recommend
using lights of the same color maybe get
some studio lights I'll link them down
below if you want they're only like 50
dollars and it's gonna make your picture
look a lot better so you can do your
white balance more accurately you can
also have more light on you so you can
optimize the settings a little better if
you can't afford that you can always go
near a window although that might
compromise your audio quality the second
thing I recommend you get is actually a
better lens for your camera so if you're
using the kit lens still you might want
to consider going out and spending maybe
about a hundred dollars to get a better
lens that has a larger aperture so right
here a 24 millimeter lens with an F 2.8
listen significantly more light than you
would have with a kit lens now that's
still not enough for you
you can go on buy a 50 millimeter lens
your camera's gonna be a quite a bit
farther away but you let in quite a bit
more light this is also a great
photography lens I would recommend
anyone buys this again I'll link it down
below it's about a hundred to one
hundred thirty dollars depending on
where you're looking the third thing I
recommend you get is actually a better
camera body now I don't recommend this
you just getting started off but once
you start to get going if you're
shooting in darker spaces maybe in a
cave or whatever if you shoot in like a
whiskey cellar or something like that
you might want to consider getting a
better body for your camera but that
actually has you know a full-frame
sensor for example and also can manage
ISO better so if you have a more
expensive camera typically there's less
noise and you're able to go to a much
higher ISO before the picture starts to
look bad so guys that's what I have for
you in this video please let me know if
there are any other settings you like to
adjust when you're taking your videos or
if you have any other questions let me
know down in the comments below I'll be
trying to answer as many questions as
possible thank you all for watching I'll
see you next time
