Pro camera settings

Sharp and future-proof; leaves room to crop or stabilise later.

24/25 fps = cinematic look. Use 50/60 fps only if you want to slow footage down later.

180° rule: shutter ≈ 2× your frame rate. Gives natural motion blur instead of a stuttery image.

As low as possible = least noise. Only raise it when it is truly too dark, not to fix exposure.

Set it manually, never auto during a shot — otherwise the colour jumps mid-move. ~3200 K under artificial light.

Normal is ready to use without editing. The Mini 5 Pro has D-Log M (a simplified 10-bit log profile) — choose it only if you grade later: more dynamic range, but grading required.

Softer looks more cinematic. You can add sharpness later; too much can never be removed.

Prevents the “plastic” smear that wipes out fine detail.

ND8 overcast · ND16 sunny · ND32 harsh sun · ND64 white sand or reflective water. Keeps you at 1/50 s.

Sharp and versatile; 4K/60 for crisp slow-motion of moving subjects.

24/25 fps for the cinematic look; 50/60 fps if you want to slow it down.

180° rule. In bright light outdoors you need an ND to keep this slow shutter.

In Normal you can stay low (ISO 50–100). In 10-bit D-Log the base ISO is 400 — you cannot go lower; use an ND filter instead of dropping ISO.

Fixed manually; ~3200 K indoors under artificial light. Auto jumps during a walking shot.

Normal = ready instantly. The Pocket 4 has full 10-bit D-Log: more range for tricky light, but you must grade the footage.

More cinematic; you can sharpen afterwards, not un-sharpen.

The gimbal does the heavy lifting. Don’t set the shutter too slow or motion still stutters.

Same logic as the drone: ND blocks light so you stay at 1/50 s without overexposing.
