Hi, thank you for this video... watched it for the third time I guess... quick question, what would be your suggestion about maintaining focus on a moving subject like a person jogging or running?
Thank you for stopping by! That's a tough question to answer in a single comment. There are many variables that go into it. The auto focus isn't all that great because it's more contrast based. I usually use manual focus when I can, but you can't control it it during video recording. I have to set it up before hand and hope that the subject stays in that line of focus. Just limitations of this camera to be aware of.
Great & helpful video! I'm very unfamiliar with cameras, but I've had my powershot laying around for a few years and want to learn it. You're a huge help!
Hey! I would love to know more about your video editing techniques..I really enjoyed this video, and in it you suggested minimizing settings like the "colour" option because it would give a better baseline for editing after filming - any chance you could film a video that walks us through that? Or have I missed one you've uploaded about that? Thanks!!
@@DillonProductions I'd love to see it! I recently dusted off my PowerShot to work on my videography skills and realized the software can be a learning curve!
Hi there! I used this camera mostly for video, I haven't done too much photography on it. However, some good tips when taking photos at night is to use a tripod and shoot with a slower shutter speed (1/20 for an example). If there's a good amount of people who want me to go into further detail, I'll consider making a video on it. :) Thank you for stopping by!
hey i'm planning to get this as my first camera...i always like to do street photography...and some cinematic videos... is it not that bad as my first camera? and can i also use this for event videos etc... maybe i'll just make it way more better using premiere pro
Yo' great video, I've a question tho... I have this same camera, but when recoding (it's set to 1080) the quality is just so bad, nothing like the quality you show in the sx510 clip... full of noise. Did you denoise the footage in post? or was raw from the camera, if so.. any idea to why i'm getting so much noise?
Denoising your footage is a great option. I personally don't do it for the SX510, I try to shoot in situations where the lighting is very good to minimize the noise. Try filming in brightly lit situations. You can shoot near a window during the day if you have to, or buy some lights.
I'm considering getting this camera instead of a telephoto lens and your videos are very useful. I'm wondering how much control over the exposure you have on video mode. Is it possible to lock it at least? (AE lock) I can't find an answer to that anywhere
Great question! I very briefly covered this at 2:43 of this video. The only thing is you can't adjust ISO, Shutter speed or Aperture during video mode. It's adjusted all at once with the bracket that comes up after you press up on the scroll wheel. Hope that made sense!
@@DillonProductions I had a Nikon D5000 that didn't have many options for video. In that camera ut was possible to set Aperture, shutter and ISO in manual mode and when you hit record it would stay like that. Not very handy, but a useful workaround. I thought this one might have something similar. Anyway, I think I will buy it and give it a shot. Again, thanks for the videos, it's an old camera and there are not many videos about it.
Hey thanks for the vid..very informative..I just got this camera..its in brand new condition..bit no box an no owner manuel... by watching your vid I've figured out how to navigate the camera a little better..my question, should I reset camera to factory settings? Because there is the prior owners wifi stuff an pics an such!
Wow, that's 2 of your videos I've watched now and you still aren't annoying yet. Which is more to be said than that Alpha Gaming sprocket. If that guy waves his hair or his hands in my face one more time... Anyway, I got this camera as a hand me down, it's been from Scotland to Rome and back, took 35 pics, hope to get more out of it now. Thank you kindly...
It's very challenging to have a blurry background when filming yourself with this camera. The camera has to be very far away and zoomed in as much as possible. You have to keep in mind the distance between your background, the subject (you), and your camera. However don't expect to get as blurry of a background as more expensive cameras (DSLR for an example). But, hey, I wouldn't let that stop you from making any video now with what you have.
I'm actually making a video on that! It's very difficult and inconvenient, but It can be done. You have to zoom in the lens to its max to get a little bit of that background blur. It helps to film in a large space not up against a wall.
Apologies for the delay, I haven't played around with the SX530 HS much. One of the differences I noticed right away is that the camera records in 30FPS. Which is fine if you're not planning on using this for "filmmaking" exclusively. You are free to try them out to see how it goes!
You can totally buy this for youtube videos however, I can't always recommend a single camera to everyone. This depends on what you plan to film. Could you tell me what you plan to film the most as well as how much you're willing to spend on a camera?
Dillon Productions thanks for answering . I shoot normal videos at home . No makeup or stuff like this. Just talking about different topics . And I could afford max 300 for now . Thank you😊
In, that case any camera will work! Even smartphones nowadays. The most bang for the buck in your price range is a used Canon T2i or T3i. These cameras will give you more options with lenses (more opportunity to have a blurry background), and you can plug microphones into it for better audio.
Hey, Cristopher! I haven't found a way to directly plug a mic into the camera yet. However I have made a video on another way to get better audio when filming with this camera. ua-cam.com/video/OZAQSBYWLjM/v-deo.html Hope this helps!
If you scroll down til you see camera icon, tap right on the scroll wheel then scroll down to the icon of the man running behind by the camera you be in slow motion mode. Only thing is, it records in Standard Definition, not HD.

@@DillonProductions Outside I recorded outdoors at night, I would like to know what I can do to improve the quality of my recordings with the canon sx530 hs?
@@DillonProductions Wow I managed to configure my canon sx530 hs just like yours, amazing I tested it was great the quality, I'm going to do a test tonight, but I followed your steps in your video and it worked, it's a little different the functions of my Canon sx530 HS , thanks for your tips. 🙌
@@bravei3696 Yeah usually these types of cameras don't do well in lowlight situations like filming in darker rooms or outside at nighttime. The more light in your scene the better. Also, you're welcome. glad these tips helped!
@@DillonProductions Thanks bro, (update) I got the Nikon but it's definitely below average. I'mma try to make football cinematic vids and got a way better camera, I purchased the Sony Alpha A6400 with a pretty decent 200mm lens. Mucho glacias!
It depends. Are you going for more of a cinematic or stylized look to these vlogs? or do you just want something to help document what you're doing? And ultimately what's your budget?
Thanks for the tips! HI have a SX510 HS too, but i am not able to film in my studio without noise. I have good lightning setup is this camera foulty or it should be used to film outdoors in sunny days?
Hey buddy! This camera is built cheaper than the more popular cameras you see today. Due to the small sensor size and variable exposure, I've always seen some form of noise. Especially in the shadow areas of my footage. I'd say make sure the lighting isn't too low.
@@DillonProductions thank you so much for your input, i also use the canon chdk to force video mode to lower iso values, but i didn't had good results; anyway i just wanted to film me playing guitar with chroma key. At the end, i sold the camera and bought a pair of GoPro which film flawlessly. I still keep up with your channel to still learning from you!
Would these settings work for the canon sx540 powershot? I want it to be able to record running, or basketball games, just sports basically. And do I have to change the settings again when I want to take a picture or are the picture and video settings seperate from each other?
The buttons will be layed out differently, but they should translate on the newer camera models (like the SX540hs). On your camera, there should be a mode dial where you switch between "M" which means "Manual" mode, and the "standard" mode (the camera icon (I use that mode primarily for video). One of the things I've noticed with my camera is when I try to take a picture while recording, the video stops. Does that answer your question?
Unfortunately you can't film in 60 fps on this camera. This can only record in 30fps in SD and 720p, 24fps in 1080p. 240 fps and 120fps in SD when slow motion video is enabled.
I haven't played around with the 530 hs too much (mostly because there's no 24fps). I don't know how transferable this info will be for the 530hs since the layout is a little different. But 90% of the settings mentioned should be applicable in the 530 hs.
Not necessarily. There are pros and cons when shooting video with both of these cameras. Even though I love how the 530 HS has 60fps (that's slow-motion territory) they removed 24fps and only put in 30fps and 60fps. For me, 24fps was more important me to I stuck to the SX510 HS.
Dillon Productions okay thanks man, I’m actually gonna sell my 530 hs and buy the canon eos m until I could afford better, I’ve been falling in love with the clips I’ve seen of it so far
Hey Erik! Unfortunately, flash cannot be used during recording. Depending on what you'll be filming, I'd recommend using a light kit to get the best results!
MAJOR CORRECTION: At 2:54 to bring up the exposure bracket you actually hit the ISO button, NOT the set Button. Sorry about that!
I just got this camera gently used at a garage sale, it's nice to know people are still using and getting good use out of it.
Yeah, man! I just love helping people use cameras like these to make better content!

Hey! It depends on your budget, and what you plan on shooting often.
Is this camera better than the Nikon Coolpix P100 for videos?
They both seem very similar. If you just want something to start making videos, any of these will work.
@@DillonProductions Thanks bro, (update) I got the Nikon but it's definitely below average. I'mma try to make football cinematic vids and got a way better camera, I purchased the Sony Alpha A6400 with a pretty decent 200mm lens. Mucho glacias!
Nice bro! The A6400 is a beast for the price.
@@DillonProductions fr, but it's like the cheapest option to record 120fps and be able to capture volume/zoom in at high speeds
If I want to make video blogs on UA-cam, is this camera worth it?
It depends. Are you going for more of a cinematic or stylized look to these vlogs? or do you just want something to help document what you're doing? And ultimately what's your budget?
Is the 540 around the same quality as this?
Yeah, they're pretty identical!
Thanks for the tips!
HI have a SX510 HS too, but i am not able to film in my studio without noise. I have good lightning setup is this camera foulty or it should be used to film outdoors in sunny days?
Hey buddy!
This camera is built cheaper than the more popular cameras you see today. Due to the small sensor size and variable exposure, I've always seen some form of noise. Especially in the shadow areas of my footage. I'd say make sure the lighting isn't too low.
@@DillonProductions thank you so much for your input, i also use the canon chdk to force video mode to lower iso values, but i didn't had good results; anyway i just wanted to film me playing guitar with chroma key. At the end, i sold the camera and bought a pair of GoPro which film flawlessly.
I still keep up with your channel to still learning from you!
What’s the best settings for filming planes landing and taking off?
Never really thought about that. I'll get back to you on that.
Hey Bud! Regarding your question, are you going filming more timelapse (sped up) clips or Real-time (Just hitting record and leaving it alone)?
Just hitting record and letting it do it’s thing!
Where is the playback button PLZ
The playback button is the button right below the record button (it should be blue). :)
hey man, would you say the same settings would apply for a newer SX530 or SX540?
It should be similar. But I can't confirm it 100% since I haven't used the newer models.
Would these settings work for the canon sx540 powershot? I want it to be able to record running, or basketball games, just sports basically. And do I have to change the settings again when I want to take a picture or are the picture and video settings seperate from each other?
A tutorial for best video settings for sports on sx540 would be nice
The buttons will be layed out differently, but they should translate on the newer camera models (like the SX540hs).
On your camera, there should be a mode dial where you switch between "M" which means "Manual" mode, and the "standard" mode (the camera icon (I use that mode primarily for video). One of the things I've noticed with my camera is when I try to take a picture while recording, the video stops.
Does that answer your question?
@@DillonProductions aw I don't got the camera yet, but I wanna know if I can record sports with it without blur or autofocus on
@@makueythedub3247 Are you on the sidelines zooming in to record?
@@DillonProductions no I will be running, my mom will be in the bleachers recording or something
I have this and am going to get a Nikon 3500d Slr so I can actually learn proper photography.
Nice! I hope that camera serves you well!
does anyone knows how to control this camera using the phone?
Can i film on 60 fps??
Unfortunately you can't film in 60 fps on this camera.
This can only record in 30fps in SD and 720p, 24fps in 1080p.
240 fps and 120fps in SD when slow motion video is enabled.
Dillon Productions ohhh ok thank you so much 🙏🙏
@@mauriciotejeda9626 No Problem!
Hey would you recommend the same settings for the 530 hs?
I haven't played around with the 530 hs too much (mostly because there's no 24fps). I don't know how transferable this info will be for the 530hs since the layout is a little different. But 90% of the settings mentioned should be applicable in the 530 hs.
Dillon Productions thanks would say 510 is better than the 530?
Not necessarily. There are pros and cons when shooting video with both of these cameras.
Even though I love how the 530 HS has 60fps (that's slow-motion territory) they removed 24fps and only put in 30fps and 60fps. For me, 24fps was more important me to I stuck to the SX510 HS.
Dillon Productions okay thanks man, I’m actually gonna sell my 530 hs and buy the canon eos m until I could afford better, I’ve been falling in love with the clips I’ve seen of it so far
Keep doing the great job boy, now my cannon have better quality!
Thank you! Will do!
can you use flash while recording a video
Hey Erik!
Unfortunately, flash cannot be used during recording. Depending on what you'll be filming, I'd recommend using a light kit to get the best results!
How much time can it still record in one shot? Can I record one hour?
Hi there!
Based on my experience, this camera only records for 15-17 minutes at a time.
°°° Great video! Very helpful and YES - would like to know more about using sx510 for video work. °°°
Thank you for watching!
It's good to know that you'd like to see that video.
@@DillonProductions absolutely
what is the best way to download the clips onto a computer?
Typically the SD card port is my preferred way of moving the footage to the computer, but you can also try the USB cable that came in the box.
@@DillonProductions omg you actually answered i really need help with that thank you
@@bonnielove708 No problem! let me know if you have any more issues.
I just got the 540 and I’m a noob and came to you🤷♂️
While the camera in this video is an older model, I do hope this helped you out. :)
I bought it for 100$ literally brand new. keep up the good work. Ur channel looks solid.💯
is it possible to use for webcam sx510 hs?
Based on my research, I haven't found a solution to this unfortunately.
