DSLR FILMING - Canon R8 recommended settings

Updated over a week ago

Camera Body: Canon model R8

Camera Settings:

Camera Mode: A+

Stabilizer: On

Focus Mode: AF

NOTES: Auto mode does have some drawbacks including: potential delayed ISO and white balance adjustments depending on lighting environment, clothing color of subject(s) and backdrop. Focusing anomalies in certain scenarios may also occur.

However, in general, we still found Auto to be a better option in a live event environment than manual. Primarily because of the flexibility and ease it provides as lighting, group size and frame change during a live event.
