What is the “sport” mode I heard about? What setting is best to avoid jittery footage in low light with artificial lights? Some reviews seem to have a lot of jitter and some have set a higher shutter and it seems to vanish. Thoughts?
Hi there, good questions. There's no specific sport mode unless you create a set of settings and make that a preset as I showed. When you say jittery, what exactly do you mean? If you pan too quickly, you will get jittery footage but that is because the shutter is too high and so no frame blending. This is why you can use ND Filters to bring the shutter down from a typical auto setting of 1/200 to 1/60, assuming you were at 30fps, following the 180 rule. The thing with action cameras is they need high shutter speed, ie lots of sharp images, so it can process digital stabilisation. So a higher shutter won't help. So, low light, your options are: 1st set 25/30fps and 1/50 shutter but ISO will go up and give some noise, or 2nd do the same and turn off stabilisation and use a gimbal or keep camera static, 3rd use night Mode. Hope that helps
