I have the Pocket 3, and use sharpness -2 and noise reduction -2. I find that in making vlog style, close-up self-videos, those settings render my skin in a more flattering way. In your video, unfortunately, I couldn’t tell the difference between your different setting changes. And I watched on a 50 inch TV screen. It might’ve been more revealing if you had used a super close-up of your face; that might have reflected the sharpness and noise reduction changes better. But in your video, the differences were lost on me.
@@taurus3973 thanks for the feedback. Things were minor in details I had to look super closely at my monitor to notice it. For the most part I probably wouldn't notice or care but this was just my findings. Each shot will look different based on availability of light, contrast, style and look etc. Everyone has their preference of settings and this goes to show that mine aren't for everyone and that you gotta test out and see what works for you ❤️👍
@@mrgreenfull3897 I haven't done extensive tests but not a bad idea if we want to see the differences in a brighter environment. Maybe on my next sunny day off I'll see if I can't take my Osmo Pocket 3 out for some testing. What exactly were you seeing in the blue sky that was looking bad?
I would stick at 0 NR and 0 Sharpness to start and see how darker areas in your videos look on a bigger screen. If you can't tell on a big screen (tv or monitor) then most people won't know on a cellphone. Your ISO will struggle if it's too dark and introduce some noise so if you are noticing you have to use higher ISO with darker scenes then you might want to SLOWLY bump up Noise Reduction to see if it helps clean up the noise. But it can reduce some finer details if you increase it too much. Does this help?
@@shawnchenco Thanks for your response Shawn yes it helps!! i won't have the chanche to see in a bigger screen but since I suppose that i need to raise ISO level at least to 400 or 800 to have a properly exposed image...so I think I will shoot with noise reductionup to 1...what you think? basically i need to record an event indoor in a bar
@@prawines My take on recording events is that crank the ISO to what you need. Introducing noise can be changed with Noise Reduction but a blurry image or something wayyyy too dark is hard to recover. I would try shooting some sample footage in like a bathroom or basement to see how the noise reduction works in nearly pitch black to see what the effects are. If you don't like it then you can decrease it and pump the ISO to where you need.
Definitely something to change the contrast (depending if it's a white or black mist) but honestly I think it depends on personal preference and needs of the shooter. If they want more detail or maybe more contrast or even just a stylized shot. I have mist filters for my camera (not Osmo) and it's fun but I can be "replicated" in post. I like having a bit more control and flexibility to what I can edit after. I am not actually sure what strength the Osmo mist filter comes in but you will definitely have to use it purposefully. I wish there was more clearance when off to keep filters on.
@@shawnchenco I'm not a videographer or photographer so my knowledge is limited but I've seen 1/4 and 1/8 filters for both white and black diffusion. If I were to buy one I would go with a black diffusion filter to get that glow effect on night shots because I suck at editing
@@ArtemioSilva haha you and me both. If I can just shoot and it be perfectly edited after that would be perfect! Lol but a bit more elbow grease has to be put in to finish it up. Honestly HLG is pretty decent and so is Normal, sometime I just like to be extra fancy 🤣
You know what I don't know. I have been meaning to make a video on bright environments when shooting as I shot in a darker space. I'll have to plan this out for another video test.
Oh like it. sharp 0, noise 1, sharp 1 noise 1, sharp... :) awesome! any way you answer on my question about the noise (because on diji forum they point to audio instead.. heh). I have compare my sony zve10 and osmo3 and found horrible blurring in the details. Started poking around in the settings and it's just what I need. It's not so bad now -1/-1 - thanks!
Glad it could help. Sometimes we just need a base line and examples. One day I will try and remember to do a brighter version and see if it helps or changes anything.
I find these comparisons are a bit unfair because you used the word "post-production". It means you have the "intention" to make some changes to the clips. Unlike changing the settings and using them as-is (without editing the sharpness/noise). During editing, sharpness can be increased (the opposite can produce a poorly-looked clip) but difficult to recover details (due to aggressive noise reduction). I always use -2/-2 because I have the flexibility to increase the sharpness and do something about the noise. But of course, some just want to have it pre-processed in the camera and use the clips without making any changes.
Thanks for the comment. That is fair. I have been finding editing DLOG M files have been frustrating when compared to something like SLOG3. I have been leaning more with SOOC to keep some videos with a quick turn around. I have seen a lot of people going -2/-2 so it seems to be a popular setting combo.
@@shawnchenco I don't think it is a popular setting, i think ppl go for it because it is the obvious choice if you are looking for flexibility during editing. But of course, one could also use 0/0 and could still be flexible during editing. Note: i am talking from a perspective of (semi-)aggressive editing.
Want to thank you for making a quick straightforward video that helped me understand better. Instead of a 10 minute video “for the algorithm…”
Lol thanks I try. I want to make content that I would want to watch myself. 👍

Did you notice pixelisation on a blue even sky ? No matter what setting I use, it is horrible. I have to use noise reduction in after effects.

Awesome channel dude thanks for the tips and side by sides 🤙🏽 ✅
Happy to help!
What you suggest for a indoor environment with no much light?
I would stick at 0 NR and 0 Sharpness to start and see how darker areas in your videos look on a bigger screen. If you can't tell on a big screen (tv or monitor) then most people won't know on a cellphone.

what about keeping the settings at 0 and adding something like a mist filter

Which setting for noise reduction and sharpness would you recommend for filming beaches and landscapes?
You know what I don't know. I have been meaning to make a video on bright environments when shooting as I shot in a darker space. I'll have to plan this out for another video test.
