Excellent instruction! You demystify video making not just for food photographers. Additionally, you keep your videos short, bite size of you will, with enough information to cover the topic completely but never overwhelming. That, alone, is a masterful skill which I appreciate and why you are my favorite!
A small note regarding shutter speed that I think is important: When shooting under artificial light, you want to use a shutter speed that is a multiple of your electricity frequency to avoid flickering - that is, if your live in a place with e.g. 60 Hz 110V you want to stick to 30 or 60 FPS (or the closest selectable value), but if you live in a part of the world where 50 Hz 230V is the norm, you will want to go with 25 or 50 FPS.
That's a good note. However, I wanted to add that if your lighting is LED continuous light, then shutter speed doesn't matter as it doesn't sync with those 50/60hz from your electrical network. Cheers!
I would say start with your phone nowadays phones can look better than cheap camera's. Learning how to edit video and photo is going to get your a lot further then buying a camera. Start out with investing in some lights or lenses and educate yourself about editing and then if you know more about the techincal side start looking at gear when you feel like you really need it. Goodluck!
@@merijnraaijmakers1991 good suggestion, plz check my channel all i use is a samsung phone, i can edit and do everthing what you said, now i want to buy professional camera and a lens, but confused which one? thanks
Just a note about frame rates. Depending where you are in the world and where you buy your camera from, you'll likely have different frame rate options available to you. 30 fps (and variations of drop & non drop frame rates etc.) is from the days of NTSC which was the broadcasting standard in the US (and a few other countries), whereas Europe et al shot in PAL, which is 25 fps. (These frame rates line up with either being in a 50 or 60Hz country, as Anders C. Madsen talks about in the comments here) So depending where you are in the world your camera might give you NTSC frame rates, like Joanie's camera, or PAL frame rates which would be 25. So if you're in PAL territory, you'll want to shoot with 25 fps for regular, and if you're doing slow mo's, 50fps (120 for "super" slow mo applies to all regions, for some reason). And the rule still applies for your shutter speed being double the frame rate. 25 fps = 1/50 | 50 fps = 1/100 | 120 fps = 1/240 And I don't recommend adjusting shutter speed to adjust the exposure unless you know what the effects are (it can 'cause your video to look super choppy and weird for the eyes if you go too far), it's better to change your aperture or ISO. Incidentally, film is shot at 24 fps.
Hello I’m planning on picking up the cannon 90D. I don’t take videos and pictures of food but what I’m doing is very similar. I’m looking for very crisp detailed and colorful pictures and great video quality my pictures will be basically the same as your food pictures and my videos will be similar to this one just me talking out from up above looking down at what I’m doing or showing something. I’m looking at the best all around lens for this need. With my research it’s looking like the sigma 18-35mm F1.8 and the 50mm F 1.8 would be great for my needs. What’s your recommendation this video really has me thinking the 50Mm F1.8 would really deliver amazing pictures and videos for me!
Thanks you Joanie for this great video, i did a lot of Woooooooooow's during the time of watching. You made me now see my faults during shooting and teached me a lot of other new things. Also many thanks for answering my email, for giving your recommendations and for this great video. You are the best ever.
Always something new to learn - that tip on the manual focus for top down video - so simple, but so necessary - hadn't thought of that at all. I know it's not important but the main reason i shoot in PAL/25FPS is because the maths work properly. 50FPS for slowish mo, 25fps for standard. I don't have an option for a 1/48 shutter speed, but i do have 1/50.
Another great video, Joanie. The part on when to use manual focus was very helpful! I don't record cooking videos (yet, who knows?), but it was helpful to know. I was surprised you were able to record the video at F1.8, but it worked well for you. I'm always afraid of blur at lower apertures. The Canon face tracking feature is EXCELLENT for video. Thank you!
Hi, Great video. Can you please suggest me a good camera to shoot food video under 1000 dollar. Please help. I don't have so much bugdet. Right now I am using Sony Rx100 and video quality is not good. Main problem with the camera is focus and doesn't work great in low light. Please reply.
Hi I have question about the zebras. I have sony a7 IV and the question is how I need to setup the zebras for cooking videos. Style want something like Guga Food's. Thanks for the answer regards from Poland 🇵🇱
I tried switching to manual focus like you said. Focused on my bowl but as soon as my hand goes in to add ingredients, it goes out of focus. Does this mean I can have the whole shot focused? I really want this to work. I have a canon Rebel T6i. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
double shutter speed called 180 shutter angle ;) but it isnt an "always follow" rule , its just for smooth motion blur. But for example for slowmo and extra slow recording for example for 120fps you need 90 or 45 degree angle (4*120 ~500 shutter or 8*120 = 2000 shutter ) , it will give crispier but musch more better slow motion , because on slowmo everybody wants a clear pictuer and not just to seee motion blur in slow :)
Hey awesome video, but question. What picture profile do you use for your food recipe videos like a flat profile or something that is similar to auto? and are you doing any color grading to the footage from those videos?
This video was really helpful, thank you! ☺ Do you maybe have some advice which lens to use for shooting cooking videos? I'm currently using 100mm whit Canon6D.
Hi Joanie I am using nikkon 3200 camera with basic lens 18 to 55 mm . I want to upgrade my lens which lens you suggest for food photography and body as need to change or not needed
Depending on your camera, increasing the frame rate can reduce the quality of the image. The bit rate (the amount of data it saves) often doesn't change when you increase the frame rate despite taking 2x the number of frames.
hello, Thank you for the awesome help. I am a camera newbie, and still learning everything my camera does. I have a Canon SX50 HS which does 1920x1080 at 24fps. I am trying to do top down cooking videos, but to me for some reason, my recordings do not look crisp or clear. Seems to be kinda washed out. I have my camera about 19 inches above the surface, with a top light and front side light, 5500k led strips in a aluminum turkey pan, with a white plastic shower curtain for diffusing. Is my camera too close, are the lights not bright enough, or too bright? I am wondering if I am missing certain settings. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
I have a question here. Is there any way of keeping manual focus taking two subjects in the primary. like the pouring and the dish both? Is there any kind of camera which solves this problem?
So helpful! Thank you! We're having issues with the camera saying 'video stopped automatically' with no explanation. I'm wondering if the frame rate might be set too high and it's too much for the SD card to handle? It's a Canon 70D.
That's a limitation of the specific camera. My 5DMIV does that at the 30 minute mark...other cameras do it sooner. So, when I film these videos, I keep an eye on the time and make sure to stop and re-start the camera every 20 minutes of recording.
How do you actually set up the shutter speed for video? Do I just do that in manual mode and then head over to video mode..? If it makes things clearer, I use a Canon 1300D.
Wow, you are AMAZING Sister Shaken Bacon, Lol! I really do love your style and the way you explain the camera's details, is phonomenal. You Rock! Jesus Christ Loves you. Galatians 6:9 in the Holy Bible is for you🕊
Joanni, as always, Thank you, love your content it has helped me immensely with my wife's cooking channel. Every video I get just a little bit better... Keep on Crushing it! Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Hi, Joanie! Great explanation of frame rate and shutter speed. I had no idea there was a correlation and now I need to go mess around with my camera. Did you use your 70d to shoot this? I’m also wondering if I’m a future video you could talk more about that slow motion effect and the best ways to achieve it (camera settings, etc). Thanks again!
Iso 100 Aperture f1.8 Shutter speed 160/sec Fps 30 for talking 60 if you plan to slow footage Shutter speed = double frame rate ex. If frame rate is 30 shutter speed should be 1/60 White balance set to auto Shoot in manual focus if there is a lot if movement ex. Tasty style videos with hands entering or just any movement…use mf to focus on the primary subject (the food) you can use auto focus if you are videoing a stationary shot like her when she is just sitting and talking
Great tutorial as usual! I notice you're looking at your laptop while recording. How is that done? Are you live tethered and recording at the same time?
You're such an amazing teacher! Now I finally understand fps lol I really want to up my food photography/videography game
Awesome! Here's to a fantastic year ahead
honestly same. I wish I could take a course with her but I feel like she would get frustrated by my endless questions 😂
Me too, just understood the fps now
Great tip on auto focus vrs. manuel focus! Thank you!

Aaawwww I have been looking for a teacher like you 👏👏👏👏💝
Thanks. This video helped me so much 👍🏼🇺🇸
Have not seen a better person than you Joanie. All my questions are answered. Thank you.

i go too film school and you make more sense then my teachers
That was such a great teach! I was literally on my camera as you were talking, thank you; you always answer my thoughts
That was so helpful! Its hard to find good simple content for camera settings for videoing food, so thank you very much!
Joanie, you are such a greater teacher! You break everything down clearly and concisely. Thank you for all of these videos! :)
Thank you so much for sharing this, Joanie ❤️🤗
Wow. These informations will be very helpful for my cooking channel. Thank you.
I was always wondering about how to get the best angle. You are the one who have lighted my mind. Thank you
This is an awesome video! Very helpful, subscribed! I am new to food video.
very good information will be distributed to me a lot thank you 👏👏👍
Which camera did you use in this video. It looks good.
thank you so much Joanie, been looking for camera settings advice for food videos, this is spot on.
And that was when I finally understood how I set up my camera thank you so much 😊 🙏
it was a wonderful video it was about EVERYTHİNG you need
What camera could you recommend for someone who is just starting out with food/cooking videos?
I would say start with your phone nowadays phones can look better than cheap camera's. Learning how to edit video and photo is going to get your a lot further then buying a camera. Start out with investing in some lights or lenses and educate yourself about editing and then if you know more about the techincal side start looking at gear when you feel like you really need it. Goodluck!

hi Joanie. Would you still suggest shooting videos in Manual focus at a food event? with a lot people and movement. Thanks
Very helpful..thank you
woah! what an awesome video! Thank you.
Wow thanks for sharing
What do you think is the best camera profile for an overhead indoor cooking video with a continuous light? For example s-log 1, 2 etc?
