Lynda.com Notes

  • Resolution is how detailed the image is...how many pixels
  • Pixel- the unit to measure the image resolution
  • HD is 1080x720....important....don't crop video
  • 1080 HD -video image 1920x1080 pixels & 720 HD is 1280x720 pixels
  •  camera's mega pixels camera does not relate to resolution of the video of camera
  • 1080 video = image size ~ = 2 megapixels & 720 video image size ~= 1 megapixel
  • video frame rate- 30 frames/sec.......used to be 24
  • for slow motion- need more frames to be smooth -about 60
  • shutter speed in video diff from pictures
  • high shutter speed-freeze frame-noisy
  • 1/25 -simple movements......higher the speed weirder the look
  • 1/30 - 1/90 is good
  •  ideal shutter speed is 2 times the frame rate
  • manual exposure!
  • when using RAW be more careful with exposure
  • blinking light- checking correct exposure 
  • use the histogram
  • check f-stops
  • good iso-100 to 400, maybe to 800
  • wide f-stops for limited depth of field?  cut  light & get a neutral density filter
  • zoom lenses are NOT fast
  • when shooting wide open with fast lens
