Secret videography hacks for the cinematic footage
EOS M50 Mark II is an out-of-the-ordinary, feature-rich exceptional model that comes at a decent price setting the adventurous goals for vloggers and YouTubers.
So why not make it extra professional. These sets of settings can be implemented to get top-notch impressive footage.
Shooting Mode
First thing first, let your camera know you are going to film, so make sure your mode dial shows the movie mode.
Now under this movie mode, you have been given two choices; auto and manual. Auto works fine, but if you are picky and a perfectionist, choose manual mode to have better control over manual settings.
Resolution
As we said, the M50 Mark II gives the thrill of shooting 4K videos. Hence, the next important thing to do is select the resolution you want your movie to film in.
You may choose 4K, but for obvious cropped factor prevention reasons, we suggest you choose 1080p at the 24p speed, and voila, you are all set.
Aperture
The aperture settings should be considered highly crucial, but they are best to be done after pairing the rightful lens.
Remember, if the aperture figures get the lowest, you will end up getting heavy vignetting throughout the entire shooting, so pick the right level in order to get the razor-like sharpest cinematic footage.
Audio
You don’t want the clumsy audio to destroy your whole filming, now do you? M50 Mark II gives the ease of configuring the audio auto or manually.
If you are using any audio gear like the external microphone, you can set the manual tap to the audio setting; otherwise, the auto will be fine to embrace the right audio level.
ISO Range
The ISO provided by EOS M50 Mark II is Auto with the range of 100 to 25600, which can be expandable to 51200.
The ISO needs to be set accordingly to the deep insight of surrounding lights. The ideal range of ISO should be between ISO 100 to ISO 500, enough to get better lighting in your video project.
Stabilization
The M50 Mark II doesn’t impress the photographer with the image stabilization technique, so we suggest you get an effective gimbal or tripod stand to mount your camera and get uniformly balanced footage. If you are looking out for such gimbals, here’s the list of top gimbals for Canon M50 & M50 Mark II.
These gimbals come with the brilliancy of compensating the camera shakiness and can be easily available in the market.
