I've posted this elsewhere but should have done so here as it's video specific.
I'm just about to embark on shooting video on my A6500 never having done so before. I can find lots of YouTube stuff about general settings for video but I still have a few grey areas to clear up.
I'm unclear as to what are the best settings when just about to film in terms of exposure.
I understand that I should set shutter speed to twice the frame rate so should I set aperture to get the DOF I want and set the ISO to auto or am I still thinking too much in terms of shooting stills?
Alternatively:
Shutter at 2x frame rate
Aperture set to suit DOF/optimal IQ for lens
ISO set to (say) 200
all this latter with a variable ND filter?
Thanks for looking.
