Gear in this topic: Sony ZV-E10 II
now its getting dark early all my evening vlogs in my apartment look grainy and kinda muddy. zv-e10 ii with the kit lens, 4k 24p, auto everything. lighting is two lamps and the tv lol. is it the lens or do i need actual lights? dont want to spend a lot
Lights first, lens second. Two lamps and a TV means auto is cranking the ISO, which is your grain and the mud. Even one cheap LED panel bounced off a wall behind the camera will fix most of it. The kit 16-50 is slow (f/3.5-5.6) so if you want to go further later, a fast prime helps a lot, but I'd spend the first $50 on light.
Also get off full auto. Lock shutter at 1/50 for 24p, open the aperture right up, then let ISO float with a cap so you can see what's actually happening. If it's still pinned at the cap, it's a lighting problem, not a settings problem.
ok that makes sense, its definitely pinned at like 12800 lol. ordering a cheap panel, thanks both
