QOTD ⚡ What are your tips for shooting better video? Let me know! 👇👇👇 Who else wants to shoot better videos? Watch my FREE Pro Video Made Simple series here ➡️ bit.ly/VideoTipsSeries
I have a question, which one would be better for "Depth of Field" the 1. Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Lens OR 2. Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens? Please, I really need help with that. I want to buy the best one for my youtube videos. Thanks for your time! Have a great day. 😀
What I need is studio lighting.
Dude, totally confusing. What I needed was, "do this", "set this thing to here", then go into this setting and choose this". Maybe you can do another video that is easier to follow and more to the point.
Hi Sean, I'm thinking of ordering the canon m6 mark ii to start my UA-cam Channel. It comes with 'EF-M 15-45 mm' lens. Will this give me shallow depth of field like you have going on in this video?
How to background blurry panasonic hc . Pv 100 .plz
To summarize for anyone that's still is a little confused:
The shallower the depth of field is the blurrier the background will be.
The wider the aperture= a narrower depth of focus which = a blurred background
Three main factors that will affect how you control the depth of field of your images are: aperture (f-stop), distance from the subject to the camera, and focal length of the lens on your camera.
The closer your subject is to the camera, the shallower your depth of field becomes(aka more blurry background).This also means that a longer lens=a more blurry background, Therefore, moving further away from your subject will deepen your depth of field(aka background and you are in focus).
The Greater the distance between the subject and the background the more blurry it will be.
If you are a beginner with a DSLR there are some simple ways you can control depth of field and still use and automatic shooting mode. By choosing Aperture Priority mode you can set your aperture to get the depth of field that you want, and the camera will automatically set the shutter speed.
Aperture refers to the access given to light from the lens to the camera sensors. The size of your aperture (the diameter of the hole through which light enters the camera) controls the amount of light entering your lens. Using the aperture (f-stop) of your lens is the simplest way to control your depth of field as you set up your shot.
Large aperture = Small f-number = Shallow (small) depth of field
Small aperture = Larger f-number = Deeper (larger) depth of field
It may be easier to remember this simple concept: The lower your f-number, the smaller your depth of field(more blurry background). Likewise, the higher your f-number, the larger your depth of field(less blurry background). For example, using a setting of f/2.8 will produce a very shallow depth of field while f/11 will produce a deeper DoF.
Hopefully this helps some people out :)
Thank you! This helps!
Brilliantly explained
This explanation is better the vlog above am having cannon c300 am learning
Thank you so much!
Very helpful! Thanks for posting!
"I'm not going to explain the science behind it because, I don't know that-!" 😂😂😂😂😂 Great video by the way!🤘🏻
:-)
Lower the aperture = higher the light enters which allows higher shutter speed and lower ISO means the object comes into focus and the object in distance blurred because of low light from them due to high shutter speed and low ISO, due to which blurred effect occurs. i hope m right
I think you had the science down perfectly! :)
Sean Keeps it 💯% real
I loved that bit too. I definitely didn’t need the science behind it 😂
I use the "nifty 50" lens you showed in all my vids. My background is only slightly blurry because my room is small but it still helps and looks more polished than the kit lens. I'm about 6 feet from the lens and about 8 feet from the back corner of the shot. Thanks for all the coaching, Sean.
What about for vlogging, example itsjusta6 videos
@@sunsetpaths2972 I am brand new at using a DLSR. I had no idea you had to be that far away and have that much distance for the background to do this effectively. It's crazy because I can take photos all day long with much smaller distances. Back to the drawing board for me! Great video tutorials btw.
A cool thing people may want to try with their videos if you hang some lights maybe Christmas lights in the background it'll look pretty cool with the DOF/Blurry background.
Kool Creation Photo true dat!
I love that look and wanna try it!
Kool.Creation so true!
Yeah!
true
Love it! Another great video Sean 👍 Congrats on 100k #killingit

Oh man thank you for breaking this down, simple and to the point. I finally understand.
For $125, the Canon 50mm 1.8 is hard to beat. I usually use that lens for my green screen shots because it blurs out any imperfections in the green screen. Great video, Sean.

Love your Channel, looking forward to starring mine soon and your channel is an amazing resource for all around awesome - WELL DONE AND THANKS FOR SHARING you are awesome!
Very helpful!!!!! Thank you
i use the 24mm f2.8, and i'm satisfied with the effect the lens provides:)
Thanks for the video! It helped me out.(:
So helpful. Thank you
Sean, thanks for this video. Very informative. Near the end when you talk about the G7X Mk II you correctly point out the fact that there's now external mic input. Would it have been worth mentioning that a good workaround (my opinion) would be an alternative audio recording method? An example of which would be you iPhone with an lavalier mic or a voice recorder (like a Zoom H2) with a lavalier. In fact, I always use a backup recording method just in case the camera audio messes up.
Brilliant! This helped me so much. Very informative, Thanks so much. ☺
Your welcome - glad it was helpful - keep crushing it!
You give a lot of great tips out on your channel! For now I can only film with my phone( I have a way older Canon DSLR that doesn't do video) BUT these can still be applied to photography and manual mode on my cell phone. Thank you very much ^_^
Thank you so much! This helped
Super helpful!
Thank you so much for the variance of choices. I watched a video last night that ONLY talked about the Sigma 30 mm f1.4 art lens at a whopping $400. I know lenses are expensive but I thought there had to be more than one way. I'm newer to DSLR cameras, I only used to use camcorders so I'm learning just where the $$$ lies with these... in the LENSES!!! lol, thank you so much! You are awesome!
This is very useful!
Just got the nifty fifty for my canon 200d. Love the depth of field look! For once i can produce something that looks somewhat professional lol
Always great information 😍

“Depth of field and Bokay... bouquet, boca!” 😂🤣😂

been looking for this for ages! Thank you so much :D
Your welcome!
THiNK Media TV :)
Great little beginner tutorial man!
Be aware though, that the tip for kit lenses are a bit sketchy as most kit lenses are f 3.5-5.6. So the more you Zoom the more DOF you'll get... And the darker the image :oP
Also, I'm not sure you are correct about being further away from the camera. Usually the closer you are with still images, the easier to get shallow DOF/Bokeh. That's my experience at least.
Another little suggestion: Maybe remember to explain/mention(depending on how in-depth you want to go in different videos) how a 50mm is actually 75(non Canon) or 80mm(Canon) for most people, as very few of us have full frame bodies to shoot on. I think it's actually pretty relevant to this video. Also remember that it's not only the focal length that you have to multiply by 1.5/1.6 - It's also the aperture - So: On a FF body, you don't need as small an aperture to get the same effect :o)
I had a suggestion for a video, but totally forgot what it was while writing this, so maybe I'll suggest that at some other time :oP
he's a very helpful person
love you bro😘
awesome video, thanks
