Video settings screens are full of numbers such as 4K, 30p, and 120fps. Start by considering resolution, which determines the detail in the picture, separately from frame rate, which determines the number of frames in 1 second. fps stands for frames per second: the number of frames in 1 second. A frame is 1 individual image, or 1 still picture, in a video.
Being able to shoot in 4K and being able to shoot video that can be used as it is are different things. Focus slips partway through, the composition drifts, or the image bounces with every step. These problems can be easy to miss on the camera’s small screen alone. Before adding more corrections in post-production, choose a way to support the camera that suits the movement you want, and test the combination you will actually use.
