the THREE CAMERA MODES i use to vlog!

A beautiful day in Detroit and some tips on getting the most out of your vlog camera.

I wanted to explain the three shooting modes I use most for filming my vlogs and how each one has a different level of required involvement vs the image control you have.

I am currently using a LUMIX G85 by Panasonic. It is a mirrorless camera so when I mentioned in this video that is "DSLR-esque" I mean that it functionally behaves like a DSLR while not technically having a floppy mirror ;)

The kit lens that the G85 comes with (linked above) is what I use primarily. It is a 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6. It does a decent job for all around shooting with some decent "artsy" capabilities.
When I really want to get fancy with lower depth of field I switch to my 25mm prime lens. I used my prime lens in the arcade sequence in this video.

Squeezed in a bit of FPV at the end! More flying coming soon I promise :)
