Do you have problems with jitter when panning? or maybe you need to be safe, or just fix it in post? Anyway, here I show different clips shot at different FPS on the same timeline. I can recommend buying Davinci Resolve Studio, it can fix mostly all jittering you will experience, and that I show you here. All clips shot with DJI Osmo Action 4 and Hohem iSteady 4 Pro gimbal.

Do you have Pixel phone? Or plan to buy one? Then watch this. Pixel 7 Pro came out in 2022 and was back then the top notch phone from Google. Last year Pixel 8 Pro got released, but I still belive it face the same issue; fps issue.
Osmo Action 4 Best Sharpness Comparison
Переглядів 3,6 тис.3 місяці тому
In this video I go through Osmo Action 4 sharpness and noise reduction in both 30 and 60 fps. From the beginning, I have mostly used ONE favorite setting, but after the latest firmware that came out this spring, it looks like I really have to consider whether I have to lower the sharpness. If you do action or vlogging, there may be different settings that suit YOU best. 00:00 Intro 00:25 Color ...

DJI Osmo Action 4, FIRMWARE IS NOT GOOD!
Переглядів 2,3 тис.4 місяці тому
DJI released a new firmware to Osmo Action 4 (v01.04.05.10), 27 March 2024 with some "minor" changes. But there is ONE major change no one have mentioned or could actually prove in their videos. And this is what I will show you here. This is only visible when shooting below 30 fps, but what have they done? I tried to debunk this and found out what have been made of change.

question on Noise reduction in general. What does - (minus) do, decrease noise? or decrease the noise reduction enhancement that the camera does??
Thanks for yor videos sir! im having issues with my running videos using your same camera, i was recording at 4k 120fps, d-logm and then adding a DJI lut in davinci resolve when editing but when exporting video just looks no sharp and not clear, what setting i should use please? i had RS+, FOV Standard, Exposure and AWB auto, never touched them before, appreciate your help, thanks!!
I would not record in 120 fps for a long time, also the quality is not the best compared to 60 fps for what I have seen, but haven't actually compared it yet. I use Pro mode and Sharpness at -1 or 0, and Noise reduction at -2 for best sharpness in good light.
@@rjfotovideo awesome! Thanks for the tip I’ll give it a try
Cannot connect mine to lightcut app my new buy Ao3,,Cannot open the cam, pls how🙏
There are many things that could be the problem, but you need to activate bluetooth and use DJI Mimo app for transfer to phone before editing.
Thank you for taking the time to make and post this video. I have a Hoham Steady 4 pro on the way as I am interested in the Timelapse feature and the app.
Thank you for watching and I'm glad you liked how I do it and hopefully learned from it.
6:00 nettamente meglio e più naturale la OA1, a sinistra sembra registrata con il telefonino di bassa qualità sinceramente
Yes it is a big difference between them, but for OA1 being many years old it was top notch back then.
Hii can you please suggest the best settings for vlogging? I use it mostly for vlogging. I could not find the best settings at all 😭😭
For vlogging I will recommend: Auto ISO 100-1600, Auto Shutterspeed 1/200-1/8000s, 1080p @ 30 fps with RS or RS+ if you want the extra stabilisation.
@@rjfotovideo thank you so much!
Thank you so much the review
Thank you for watching and commenting!
I had to reconnect my Mic 2
Ah ok. Heard some said they had problems with it after update.
How to download
If your phone support it, you will find it on play.google app store under name "blackmagic camera"
@@rjfotovideo oh sht 😐 thx dude
Lol, now I have to research how to turn gyro on.😮
It says when you use Wide and only on some fps and I think it also needed D-Log M
I just buy it last week..what do u use for normal shots or motorbike cam?
Congrats on getting a good camera. I will make a video about it very soon since many ask for it. It will be for OA4 but it will be the same for both cameras.
Not a big difference to pay 400$ for it in my opinion!
OA4 have very good stabilization but the older one is not bad for the time it came out and had to compete with gopro 7.
Thank for review and comparison. I am learning new things.
Thank you for watching
I use it most for motovlogging. I watched so many videos and tried so much settings. But somehow the video always looks noisy and not crisp. Settings are 4K 60FPS. Settings on auto with EV 0,0, Shutter 1-200 / 1-8000, ISO 100-3200. I drive on normal daylight but want also a visible footage when i drive through tunnels. Sharpeness is 0 and noise reduction also. I changed so much but i dont see difference. Especially ISO on auto doesnt change anything even with changing the range. U have any setting tipps? I use 60 FPS because in POST i want build in some slow mow parts. I got light flickering but read that for youtube we should film in 30 or 60fps because of the Monitors heartrates. 25 or 50 FPS could look not so fluent.
Watched your newest video, and did you record in normal color mode? The colors are a bit too saturated. When I do motovlogging with my other channels, I record in 4:3 ratio, 4K @ 60 fps, Auto ISO 100-1600, Shutterspeed 1/200 - 1/8000, normal color, sharpness 0, noise reduction -2. I record in 4:3 ratio and later crop in post since I can get some room for adjusting tilt if it's not good.
@@rjfotovideo i record in normal colour mode because i dont know how and dont want spend time in it. Im fine with the Standard colour. Why u not use noise reduction +1? It looks way better than -2. Im bloody beginner and cut Videos only as Hobby for friends and family.
I also record i normal colors, but in evening/night I record in D-LogM to get better ISO performance. I doesn't want any noise reduction added to give sharpest footage, and if it is noisy I remove it in editor.
Stumbled upon this video and agree with your views. I want to leave GoPro. Tried an Ace Pro and returned it. I've been underwhelmed with the Osmo A4 so far as the picture just looks flat/boring. I don't want to have to do things in post-editing. Did not do that with GoPro or Ace Pro. Hopefully can find some settings that work for me.
Sorry for late answer. I always shoot in ordinary Color mode when the light is good, but in low light I use D-Log M for best performance. The colors in ordinary Color mode is more than enough and doesn't need any editing after.
Hello can i ask what is the best settings do you recommend for Street Vlogging ?
For street vlogging I can recommend record in 30 fps, 16:9 ratio, Auto ISO 100-1600, Sharpness -1 and Noise Reduction -2 as long as it is daylight/cloudy.
@@rjfotovideothanks how about white balance and shutter speed ?
I use 5600K and Auto shutterspeed 1/200-1/8000s. As long as you keep shutterspeed above 1/200s then Rocksteady (stabilization) do work as its best.
So what settings would you recommend for motovlog videos on the newest firmware Roger?
I can recommend using 0 at sharpening and -2 noise reduction as long as you go in daylight. A bit of sharpening is needed so that's why I recommend it at 0. Also I can recommend recording at 4:3 ratio @ 60 fps for great footage, and crop in post to fit 16:9 ratio. It will also give you some playroom if not tilted in good angle. Maybe I should make a quick video about it.
@@rjfotovideothank you very much Roger! Would definitely watch that video😊
Loaded the firmware no issues. Be nice to know what to look for or what was fixed. Must be in an area of the settings that I don't use or never noticed a problem. At least this update did not wipeout my settings.
I still haven't found out what have been fixed, but I think they have probably adjusted a bit of what I have mentioned in this video: ua-cam.com/video/VRmWqMpX7iE/v-deo.html
ı dont understand which properties fixed ?
Haven't found out yet, but I think they could have changed the clarity on 30 fps and below that they did add too much of in earlier firmware. I have a video about it to show the difference.
The sharpness is clearer now . Clearer lines . Enhanced right out of normal settings .
After this newest firmware? I plan to do a test when I find some snow to see difference at its best.
Hi, where did you get that type of tripod with the bubble leveler? Great video, I have the same gimbal and 📷, still trying to understand it.😊 Thx!!
I bought the tripod some years ago and Fotopro is the brand if I remember right. The Hohem gimbal is really great, only wish they will release a new one that can shoot vertically too (not that I need it). OA4 is just an amazing camera, and now I can't wait to see what the next OA5 will have.
@@rjfotovideo Thank you!
@@rjfotovideoHohem M6 for vertikal video or thr MT2
Thanks for the tip
How do you zoom with action 4 like you did without losing resolution
I did digital zoom in post, and you can zoom just a little without losing quality, and I did actually zoom too much here.
What is the best setting for auto mood please
They have changed how sharpness work a few month ago, and from my quick test -1 on sharpness and -2 noise reduction do look good in good daylight (sun).
@rjfotovideo im just confused with everything, if you can help and make video for how to do different moods with best setting in the auto mood for day light and low light to make it easy for us this will be helpful
I will see what I can do. But since we have bright night here in the north now, low light shooting can be a challenge since everything is daylight bright
@rjfotovideo thank you really appreciate 🙏
Well done for showing everyone Roger
Thanks mate!
@@rjfotovideo hope you are well mate!
I am thanks mate, and same with you guys. Watched your videos from Scotland but doesn't comment
Whic app? For android?
DJI Mimo app, you find it from DJI website or just search for: dji mimo download
thanks a lot. For me sharpeness +2 and noise reduction +1 looks the best. DO i have any disadvantages when i film in these settings? Why u use always noise reduction -2? Thats looks not good in this video.
I will think +2 sharpness is too sharp, bug again +1 on noise reduction will reduce it a bit. But I think it is too sharp. So no other disadvantages. I do like noise better than blur footage, and I will not say it is a lot of noise here since it was cloudy and shot with not high ISO.
thank you for Sharing nice to see this update appreciated the video Regards FISH
Thank you, and now I just wait for you to find what have been fixed
looks great, in premier pro they have optical flow which does the same thing but i think it cannot go as low, but it depends on the clip as well.
Thank you. In this I only used optical flow at the low end, but there is another option that will run it even smoother (they say) but I didn't test it out since it use so much resources.
good video but i sent my back for the INKEE FALCON Plus
Thank you. I haven't actually heard about it before, but it do looks really great too. I only wish this Hohem could take vertically too with a push on a button.
😢@@rjfotovideo the inkee can not do motion timelapse
Ah ok then I know, thank you
Is selling my One RS worth it for the Action 4? What camera is more natural for the color profile? Thanks
I can't actually not answer that, but I can say that I doesn't regret selling my One RS Last year after I bought OA4.
Sorry, newie here, do you make noise reduction in post? What do you use for that, Izotope RX? Or there is some option on a recorder? Just get H1e, and I feel like it catches more noise than even my smartphone mic
I do reduce noise in post. I use Davinci Resolve and it have really good tools for fixing the sound. H1E and other cheaper sound recorders is not the best with the internal preamp, but it just need some fix in post for good sound. Be close to the sound for best quality. You tried it for field recording or other?
@@rjfotovideo I use it to make sound effects for games, recording ambience and direct sounds like footsteps, hits and other random stuff. I started with using smartphone for that, and thought getting a dedicated recorder will give me better sound
A dedicated recorder is really great for recording both ambience and direct sound. I have made some but still need to make more
Another good test would be to see if you can get rid of the blur in the middle of the screen by using 4K/120 fps at 1/240 shutter in a 120 fps timeline if your computer can handle it.
I get your point, but youtube can't even show 120 fps timeline videos.
@@rjfotovideo If your original footage is 120 fps but you want it at 30 fps, you can do this after stabilization. Use Gyroflow. In the Stabilization tab, adjust the FOV (Field Of View) slider to control zooming. For most cases, it should stay at 1.0. If you recorded in a VFR mode (e.g., 120 fps slowed down to 30 fps), edit the frame rate field to match the original frame rate (e.g., 119.88 fps). Gyroflow will handle the frame rate conversion automatically. You can drop it in your 30-fps timeline and have the benefit of capturing motion blur and also have better Gyroflow Stability due to the the higher shutter speed of 240 fps.
Ah nice, thanks for the tip

The action 4 has so many little gremlins hidden in it, it must be dumpster fire nightmare for DJI’s software team to deal with. Extremely sensitive to engine vibrations it has difficulty maintaining a level horizon when rigged directly to a motor vehicle and exposed to engine vibrations
Totally agree, it has an incredible amount of little things that don't work quite as they should. We like to test everything possible for each firmware that comes out (mostly for fun). But apart from all those little things, it's an incredibly good camera that I don't regret having bought.
@@rjfotovideo It's all subjective to one's needs, this is a little jewel in many ways! I still use my original Osmo Action!
The first one, Osmo Action is really great and I still have mine and never regret buying it years ago. Only wish it was a bit sharper, but that can easily be fixed in post.
I use DJI action 4. Unfortunately, the camera does not expose correctly either in manual or auto mode. In auto mode the ev should compensate by + 1 minimum but instead of being at +1 it reaches -2 and I am underexposed, in manual mode I am correctly exposed but the backroand is overexposed. I understand that the sensor is not too big, but it should expose correctly, as does my phone, which has a much smaller sensor than this camera.
It is hard to say what the issue could be, but I will think you having problems with high contrast areas with sun and dark shadows. I record always in Auto and ISO 100-800. It is best to brighten shadows in post after if you seeing problems. And always have shutterspeed above 1/200s-
Hii for mostly day videos i go for go pro 12 or dji action 4 after update of dji which is best
Gopro is good in daylight but I'm not a fan of how often gopro freeze up
I am at wit's end with the mic isolating the breathing from my nose and pumping it to 15db.
Ah that's great. I think they have done most great with OA4 compared to OA3 regarding the sound input. But still hope for 32 bit float in next unit.
what kind of Boya lav mic you are using please? Thank you!
I can't really remember since I got it with an adapter I bought by error. Will buy another one if/when I find out. But it have TRS plug and around 1 meter cord and without battery.
I think you misplaced the D-log, it should be on the right side, instead of the left.
You may be right
What windscreen did you use?
Zoom WSU-1
you waste my time
I think you maybe didn't get the point of the video
"Exactly, @rogerjohansenphotography. Tell me, what's your point?"
@@abdulrehmanakram.3030 The title of the video is "sharpness comparison", are you OK? It's VERY clear the point.
For me, the difference between 30 and 60fPS is so big that I don't want to mix them anymore. I don't think it was planned that way by the inventor. Sure you get more details now in 30FPS and below, maybe even too many...
I agree with you. With that much difference I think the viewer (atleast us creators) will see the difference a bit too often if we mix framerates now. 60 is a bit soft (in snow) but 30 and below have too much clarity.
i see a noticeable difference in 30 fps video with normal colors, and for me i think sharpness -1 looks ok
Do you think about what I show in this video here? ua-cam.com/video/VRmWqMpX7iE/v-deo.html Where they have put very high clarity on with 30 fps and below in the newest firmware?
@@rjfotovideo yes i think there is some over-sharpening going on in the new firmware, to my eyes on the new firmware -1 sharpness is looking like 0 sharpness.
Some text on last right part is left out, but it was the same setting on both sides.
Hey, what are the settings to use with the video converter?
It doesn't matter what settings you use, since you only want to re-encode the file to get rid of the metadata from davinci resolve. But I use highest bitrate with same fps and export as MP4 container.
Are you using final cut pro ?
No I use Davinci Resolve Studio

Thank you
Hi Roger, is noise reduction handled separately for each channel? I had a slight "pressure" (occurs when something is missing that you would expect) in my left ear when the bird was heard at 0:21. Thanks for the Test. Greetings Andreas
I did the same NR to both channels, so if DR do something different, idk. I had to watch it again and I could not feel it. Thanks for watching and commenting, Andreas.
Hi, thanks so much for the video. Apparently I damaged my new Action 4 when filming underwater recently - the lens cap wasn't tight and water got in. I managed to dry the camera and it works fine but RockSteady is no longer working. So I started exploring options and wanted to try shooting without EiS and then stabilizing footage in Gyroflow. However now when I'm trying it, Gyroflow says "no motion data available" even though all my videos were shot with RockSteady OFF. I tried shooting in both Standard and Wide angle (read on forums that drones have to be in the Wide mode strictly to record gyro data) but both footage are considered by Gyroflow to be "with no motion data". Do you know what the issue could be?
I'm really sorry to hear that you have damaged your camera. It is actually strange that only the Rocksteady is not working, but probably because of some electronics. Gyroflow should work if you use Wide and shoot in 4:3 ratio and I think it was from 24 fps up to 60 fps. I have sometimes myself struggled to get it to work just because I didn't record in the right settings. But gyroflow on OA4 is not really that great, and often it will not work as we want since they use a different kind of gyro-stabilization (it seems like) than like those from Insta360 like Ace Pro, One RS etc. Have you tried reaching out to DJI about your camera and how much to fix it? Maybe you could get it under warranty if they find the door must be bad.
@@rjfotovideo thank you so much for your response. Apparently I wasn't recording in 4:3...will check on this. I reached out to DJI already but it's hard/takes long to get any service where I'm traveling right now. I'll have to solve this issue with DJI when I'm back in the US only in about a month. UPD: changed to 2.7/4:3 Wide angle, still doesn't find motion data...
Best instructional video about the 4 on UA-cam. You have solved a big issue in 2 minutes. Fantastic
Great to hear that my video was for help.
Quick tip. Instead of scaling the image manually, just set "scale full frame with crop" in project input settings.
Thanks for the tip. I often forget about this and do it manually
Now it records more clear and crisp video at 30fps or below . Improved night recording in any fps . Sound recording gets more gain .
Yeah but did you check that it have actually too much clarity now when you check the snow
@@rjfotovideo , if you don't want that much clearity then reduce shapness manually .
