Excellent walkthrough of exactly what I needed to know to get started with my new to me DJI Osmo Pocket. Thank you for the quality presentation without all the typical distractions that so many creators go overboard with. You've certainly earned this subscriber tonight and I'm looking forward to viewing all of your other videos. Cheers Dan
Hey man, yes AFS and AFC are standard abbreviations for just about every camera I've owned in the last 10-15 years, so it should be instantly recognised by most people. AFS is always Single Auto-focus, in the photography world it's mostly used for photographing still objects with little movement, such as landscapes. Where as AFC is always Continuous Auto-focus, meaning that the camera will continuously re-focus in an attempt to keep a moving object in focus. This is used for photographing a moving object, such as an insect or bird flying. AFC is often problematic when shooting video as the moving object will often go in and out of focus which ruins the shot. Except in the case of modern Mirrorless cameras like the Sony a7s 3 which incorporate the best focusing technology and have focus points covering the entire camera sensor, these cameras are capable of tracking moving objects accurately using AFC. However, with the Osmo Pocket this isn't the case, the AFC isn't that great and if you use it with glide shots you will notice the focus going in and out as you move past objects. It does work quite well when tracking a single object (such as a person) if the object is in the centre of frame, but it also doesn't work in 4K 60. Also, AFS is far more reliable and useful for most situations, that's why I recommend using it. Hope that answers your question. Thanks!
I'm pretty spot on with my settings it seems, the only thing I initially set differently was the faster track/follow mode or whatever it's called. In general I record in 60fps the most on my phone and the Pocket as I seems to give better results in almost every situation plus I may decide to slow it down, well, except while vlogging lol. Great vid again cheers 👏
Hey, I mostly use the standard lens with ND filters, especially when filming throughout the day. While I do love the Anamorphic lens adapter for the wider aspect ratio and anamorphic lens flares, the downside is that you cant use ND filters with the adapter. So when I do use the Anamorphic lens it's mostly in dark settings like forests or late afternoon/early morning when it's less bright, so I can retain the correct shutter speed. It's also great for night time shots!
Hi, as far as I can tell recording in any frame rate in 4K will yield the same results in terms of the quality. I've never really compared the bit rates of 4k 24 to 4k60 but the image quality appears to be the same. When you drop to shooting in 1080p that's when the quality of the image reduces significantly. Thanks,
Hey, sorry i don't know of any telephoto lenses, the standard lens is 28mm equivalent though so it's practical for most filming scenarios. You'll find wider is better for gimbal work! ✌️
Hi! Can you help me to setup my dji pocket 2 manually? Everytime i take a video its always in pro mode,4k/60, white balance auto and ev is auto, and it set in 0.3 i dont know where is that.
Hi, yes when in Pro Mode (Manual Mode) you just tap on the top left corner part of the screen where it says Pro and it allows you to change Exposure and White Balance. This is the case with ISO and shutter speed which you can adjust manually (change to M), I try to set my ISO anywhere between 100 and 200 for the best quality and shutter speed to 1/120 or 1/100 when shooting in 4K 60 or 4K 50.
Hi, you must enter Pro Mode first and then once you're in Pro Mode tap the top left corner of your screen and 4 settings will appear. One of these settings is White Balance, this allows you to adjust the custom Kelvin (K) White Balance, for example around 5600K would be Daylight, 6000K for cloudy days or shade and so on. I hope that helps and let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!
Thank you, this was the video I needed!
Hey, thanks heaps I'm so glad you found it helpful!
This guy is amazing !!! Not only is he knowledgeable but he explains the information in a very concise manner!!!
Hey, thanks so much Paul! Greatly appreciated!

thankyou this video is very helful.... clear explaination
Hey, thanks so much, so glad it was helpful! 🙏
Dang you’re the greatest of all time
Thanks man, you're too kind!
@@Renclif have you used any external lenses for the Osmo? like a telephoto or a wide angle or anamorphic?
If you check the manual, you could have proper description of the meaning of the acronyms in the menus. Was it difficult to learn what AFS-AFC mean?

Very useful tutorial.. thanks dear
My pleasure, thanks for your support and kind words!

Awesome, so glad to hear you're enjoying filming with your Osmo Pocket! And thanks again for all your comments!
@@Renclif Thank You!
Really useful, thanks
Thanks so much, so glad it was helpful! 🙏
❤️ good tips 👍
Hey, thanks so much! I hope you found the video helpful!
Great video!
Hey, thanks so much and i hope you found it helpful! ✌️
I’m curious if you use lenses like wide or anamorphic? Or do you mostly use the standard lens with nd filters
Hey, I mostly use the standard lens with ND filters, especially when filming throughout the day. While I do love the Anamorphic lens adapter for the wider aspect ratio and anamorphic lens flares, the downside is that you cant use ND filters with the adapter. So when I do use the Anamorphic lens it's mostly in dark settings like forests or late afternoon/early morning when it's less bright, so I can retain the correct shutter speed. It's also great for night time shots!
Is it possible to get the 100 mbts for shooting in 4k and 24 fps?
Hi, as far as I can tell recording in any frame rate in 4K will yield the same results in terms of the quality. I've never really compared the bit rates of 4k 24 to 4k60 but the image quality appears to be the same. When you drop to shooting in 1080p that's when the quality of the image reduces significantly.

@@Renclif thank you very much!
Do you know if there’s a telephoto lens for the osmo ?? I can only find wide and anamorphic

I am not seeing a Kelvin setting

Isn't that the pocket 2?
Hey, it's the Pocket 1 but I believe the menu and settings are very similar so it's relevant for both! ✌️
