DJI action 6. Looks bad panning in my videos.
Just posting a few clips from a family trip to Japan, and after watching them back I’ve noticed that panning left and right often looks pretty rough. Is this just normal for action cameras?
On the trip I was shooting in 4K 30fps with RockSteady enabled. My shutter was set to Auto (1/100 to 1/8000) and ISO was Auto (100 to 1600).
Since getting home I’ve been experimenting with other settings. I tried following the 180 degree shutter rule by shooting 25fps with a 1/50 shutter, but I found the stabilization looked much worse while walking. I’ve since been testing 1/100 and 1/200 with ND filters, but even then, pans can still look a bit unpleasant.
I’m trying to work out whether this is:
Just normal behaviour for action cameras,
Something in my settings,
RockSteady interacting with shutter speed,
Or simply that I’m panning too quickly.
I guess I expected an action camera to be a bit more forgiving, but if it’s mostly technique and I need to slow my pans down, I’m happy to work on that.
Any advice, recommended settings, or filming techniques would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
