virgin f/1.8cels only getting their eye lashes in focus vs chad Ansel Adams enthusiasts just closing down to f/64 so everything from the dust on their lens to the rings of Saturn are in sharp focus
here's where I outnerd you and say that relating f number to depth of field isn't entirely right as sensor size and focal length matter, too (technically only the focal length but the size of your sensor affects what focal length you'll want for the same perspective so effectively it's a factor). this is relevant not for our f/1.8 chuds but rather for club f/64, which these days might be more boringly, yet fittingly called club f/11, since they used giant film with accordingly long lenses that still yielded wide FoVs due to the sheer size of the film.
So proud of how far you've come as a creator. From the humble beginnings of shooting with your phone on top of your dresser, to now giving specific video recording tips.
I don't want to sound like the biggest jerk in the world, but just like with autofocus, the autogain on your microphone can also be tricky. RUclips would be a much more pleasant place if we cared as much about audio as we do about image sharpness.
I wish I could show this video to all the youtubers in the 2010s who constantly held their hands up to the lens in frustration so it would (hopefully) re-autofocus correctly on their face lol
I watch things so passively I never even noticed that video was so... fuzzy. Was surprised to see it here. I would believe that it had to be something that got slipped in the process of setting up everything else.
I use autofocus a lot as a someone who is into bird photography. I've had too many photos look good until I get to editing and find that there was a twig or something between me and the bird and everything is just a touch out of focus. Great advice to play with and familiarize yourself with the different zones, that's been a game changer for me
i'm probably never gonna need this but something about your ability to present any random topic in a succinct way means i'll watch it in full with no regrets :)
focus systems don't really tend to focus on the closest thing, they tend to try and determine sharpness by finding the focus setting where the image frame has the highest amount of contrast, insert several asterisks about pd/cd af and what constitutes contrast or sharpness here. anyway, newer cameras spoil us with advanced autofocus systems. yknow that expand thing he talks about? modern cameras can focus on the eyes, fall back on face detect if that fails, and fall back on a predetermined focus zone if _that_ fails, a blessing. some vlog centric Sony cameras have a creator mode (presenter mode? I forget the name) that's specifically meant to focus on your face until you hold a product up to the camera, then focus on that so long as it's in frame, to then fall back on your face.
Great tips! I have a monitor for each camera since their built in flip screens are too small. I'd also suggest setting a button that's easily accessible to switch between AF and MF. For shoots like where your hand is closer whilst stirring, I'll set the focus to AF so it focuses on the pan, then hit the button to switch to MF to lock it and then stir.
Thanks so much for this video! I don't shoot youtube videos but this is really great knowledge to have and to pay attention to next time I've got my hands on a camera.
I watched the ethan / Brian collab and I was constantly noticing the focus! I'm not a film person at all, and I don't normally notice technical details, but it was pretty jarring.
Man I wish Christopoher Nolan had nailed the film focussing in Oppenheimer but the number of out of focus face shots in that otherwise masterful movie is TOO DAMN HIGH

f/8 and be there baby

I was actually shooting with a fancy camera back then. It was all just wildly … out of focus 🥴
It reached this right person!

I know that last scenario all too well. It can be recovered with software, but it ain't cheap!
I'm so happy to see you in a netshaq video

I knew one of the videos would be that Ethan/Brian video. Their respective videos always look so good, I'm surprised they made this mistake
If i tried shooting a brand new series with a guest in the house I’d forget to even press record

Another food creator must have posted a video slightly out of focus so this was just Ethan's take, but slightly more out of focus.

Didn’t know I needed this info. Thanks shaq
"Watch This Before Recording Audio" next?

The way you teach is incredibly good, thanks for this, I will be able to use this in the future.
genuinely helpful, thanks!
This is like internet shaquille but for cameras! Awesome stuff!

Great great great video.
Oh god that last thing is hitting far too close to home. Didn't know I needed to see this video
you can always do the ol’ ashens hand-behind-the-object trick
I love you netshaq thank you

That VooDoo ranger fruit force was gross. It tasted like overly sweet Hawaiian punch
is it just me or are your eyes slightly out of focus?
