I have an S-24. I cannot take videos properly because for some unknown reason, the video just shuts off after about 30 seconds.
I've tried everything I know with no results. Cleared cache, data etc. Nothing helps. What a bummer.
He appears to be assuming that he's talking to knowledgeable photographers. This does not help beginners who don't know how to use the camera. He also should drop the dramatics and stop trying to conduct an invisible orchestra.
What are the best settings for taking product shots to upload to FB mktpl. Mine are always blurry when they upload to mktpl, but they are fine on ebay and etsy.
Question unrelated to the video…but kinda is…can anyone can tell me the format of this video? The aspect ratio? Its usually used in reviews. Which uses more video area on my phones screen…anyone know what im talking about? Lol
You’re kinda cute
Anyone knows an app with custom grid-lines (16:9 and 9:16 simultaneously)?
I don't see much improvement in detail in 4K vs 1080, plus have you seen the files sizes???? 4K is way too big to be worth it, for me
ðŸ‘ðŸ»ðŸ˜Š
The last one should be the first lol
Great content. Very nice!
Thumbnail is innovative 🎉🎉🎉
great video though the background music is really distracting.
Speak for yourself. I use that macro camera more than the normal camera on my phone. I do lots of very close up pics as a technician and that camera is a valuable tool.
