If the agent is on camera talking in real time, i would use the 24FPS and double your frame rate for shutter speed so you would be at 1/50. If its B-roll of the agent walking around the home and you want to slow that down, shoot it at 60FPS with a SS of 1/125. hope that helps!
Hi! It depends on the shoot, honestly though, for alot of Real Estate videos I will use AWB instead of dialing in for every single room. Always double check to make sure the whites look generally white tho as AWB will shift depending on what the camera is pointed at. If I miss it in camera, i will fix in post!
With your camera, there’s a massive crop in 4K 60, how do you get around that while still getting the most in your video? I also have the same camera but just purchased the a7S3.
Hi! I actually created this video for someone specifically with an A74. I use the A7S3 as well primarily for real estate. As far as the crop on the A74 goes, I would just have to use a wider lens!
I'm confused about shutter speed and frame rate in modern digital cameras. In film movie cameras, frame rate was how many frames were physically brought behind the lens per second. As far as shutter speed, is this even a thing with film movie cameras, did they have this? Shutter speed determines the amount of time light hits the film, it seems frame rate performs this function in film movie cameras. If I'm understanding this correctly, how does this work in digital cameras? Plus you mentioned something about motion blurring is optimal when shutter speed is double the frame rate, I'd love to hear more about how this works. You could do another vid on this subject, that would be awesome! Couldn't you just lower ISO instead of using an ND filter?
Great idea! I am going to update this video for 2025, as this one was actually meant for on specific person who asked for it based on this camera. Based on the response i am getting for the video, i will create a new video that goes much more in depth!
@@JustinGodsey Thanks for your reply! I'm reading over my reply and I'm not sure if I made where I'm confused clear. What I don't understand is how a modern digital DSLR handles shutter speed and frame rate while in video mode. I don't think the actual physical shutter is actually opening and closing at the set shutter speed nor is there actual film which is passing behind the lens at a certain film rate of course. So how is this handled with digital cameras? Understanding how this works technically will help to use our cameras better I think. Currently I have an old digital DSLR which doesn't do video, but I'd like to upgrade and I'd love to really understand how this works!
In this scenario you would be using a 24FPS timeline. Slow your 60fps footage (with a SS of 1/125) down to 40% on that timeline and itll be buttery smooth. I am also going to put together a more in depth, updated video for 2025. I have since started shooting in 30FPS more for real time footage and editing on a 30FPS timeline when using specifically for social media. But either one works!
If all you have to work with is the camera, the camera has a limited exposure range which limits your options... but shooting in SLog3 and exposing for your window views will give you your views and the most latitude for recovering your darker interiors. If the interiors are still too dark, you may have to sacrifice your exterior highlights. Typically, what I do (in extreme settings) is expose for the inside as dark as I'm comfortable with pulling back up later, and then shooting the views separately. Alternatively, if you have the time/budget/ability, you would use large ND filter gels on the outside windows to reduce the outside exposure. This may not be an option in many cases though. Also, there's some fancy hardware out there that can let you set up a camera motion and reproduce it... which you could use to expose for inside and out and then blend together later.
Very helpful video! I have a question, I’m starting out in the real estate world and I just got my first camera, the a6700. I have a question, I’ve been practicing in my apartment and I wanted to test it when the room is dark without turning on the lights. In these cases which settings do you recommend to use? I’m using f/2.8, AWB, ISO 800 (I think that’s the base ISO) and shutter speed 1/125 since I’m shooting at 60fps. The problem is that the clips are noisy and not sure what can I do to make them sharp 😰. Any suggestions? Thanks so much! 🙏🏼
Are you shooting in log or standard color profile? I don't have an a6700 but I knowit has Dual ISO. For lower light scenarios, you can go to 2500 instead of 800 for better low light performance. Also if the room is COMPLETELY dark, you're going to get noise no matter what. Most real estate scenarios, the homes have enough light & I don't need to switch to my secondary ISO but its nice to have that option if needed. Let me know if that helps!
@@JustinGodsey Hey! In shooting in log to get myself familiar with it and keep getting better. Well it was around 4pm here and it was raining, so it was dark but not completely dark, so I got the noise with those settings 😰. Also, it’s hard for me to determine if the video looks good directly from the camera, I mean I can’t see clearly if there’s noise or not until I import the clips to my laptop. Any suggestions here too? For last, by any chance you do like 1:1 support or help, like chat for example? If by any chance you do, let me know what’s your fee and maybe you can teach me real quick! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Thanks for this. But what about in the scenario where you are following a realtor throughout an interior? What frame rate and SS? Thanks.
If the agent is on camera talking in real time, i would use the 24FPS and double your frame rate for shutter speed so you would be at 1/50. If its B-roll of the agent walking around the home and you want to slow that down, shoot it at 60FPS with a SS of 1/125. hope that helps!
Love the video and valuable tips! what are your White Balance settings or how do you adjust them for Real Estate video

What kind of timeline are you editing on? And does mixing 24fps and 60fps mess that up when you export and post on social media?

How can I shoot a dark inside and a bright outside? Where I work the view is really what sells the house
