It has taken me roughly 4-5 years to be able to use my DSLR camera for YouTube without the footage looking blurry and out of focus. I tried to make a YouTube video to say Thank You for 1,800 subscribers about a year ago it was so bad! It was a real struggle! I have been in photography class for about (3) weeks and because we have been working with camera settings I decided to come home and work on the video settings and here is a snap shot of the settings I'm using on the Canon 1300 D DSLR camera to do YouTube video:
Here is a quick break down of the settings I'm using:
Auto Focus (First Box - FlexiZone Single)
AWB (Auto White Balance)
Standard
1920x1080 24 (1080P 24 Frames per second)
The biggest change was going from 25 frames per second to 24 frames per second. It's the second button when you go into the menu for the speed of the video. Ever since I changed that there has been no problems going out of focus. Every single time I have recorded since I changed that button has been useable clear footage.
Here is an example just recording and playing around. Clear crisp and in focus. I wish I would have taken a little more time to learn my recording settings. My quality on my videos would have been better and the overall YouTube channel would probably be performing at a better rate than it has been lately. But I'm still grateful I learned these settings I will never forget it. I hope this helps someone out there if your having similar issues with your DSLR camera. Thanks for reading!
