Just started with video, mostly playing with my phone to see what I can come up with.
What i've found so far is the phone lens is far to wide for a lot of shots and using digital zoom I lose either a little or a lot of quality.
My question is, if I record in 4K and use a bit of digital zoom but output the video in 1920x1080 format will the quality be ok? Obviously at extreme zoom its not going to work but at lower zooms 1.5 to 2 i'm thinking this should be ok.
Your thoughts?
 
You can try it, one of the plus points of 4K is being able to crop in digitally, and even recompose or create a fake pan when editing at a 1080p timeline.
It will most likely be fine on youtube for example.
