ah what's going on everybody today i'm
0:17
just going to be going over
0:18
another quick tip with the bmpcc 6k
0:21
when i first got the camera i was a
0:24
little bit shaky with
0:26
actually getting the focus perfect
0:28
especially with portrait videos and
0:31
so i went online did a little research
0:34
one thing to note is really what's going
0:36
to help you is getting
0:37
a an external monitor especially with a
0:41
shield that's really going to help to to
0:44
everything as clear as possible
0:46
especially if you're just shooting by
0:48
um but i wanted to go deeper than that
0:51
and look into actually what could help
0:53
with within the camera itself so
0:56
i went in and i found a lot about focus
0:59
assist which is what i'm going to be
1:01
so let's just get into the camera and
1:03
i'll show you a little bit more about
1:11
so when i first started out using the
1:15
6k i was struggling a lot with the focus
1:18
actually and one thing
1:20
that has really helped me out since is
1:24
and basically i'm going to show you how
1:26
to set up the focus assist on your
1:28
to just show you what it is if you can
1:31
see the pencil in the screen how it's
1:32
outlined red a little bit right now
1:35
you can that's actually the focus assist
1:38
i'll zoom in and this is zoomed out
1:43
there's no um colors showing anything
1:46
like outlined that's in focus but if i
1:48
bring the pencil into focus
1:50
then it'll actually turn red you can see
1:53
it as it fades in and out of focus
1:56
so as it fades in and out you'll be able
1:59
in focus and what's not and then if i
2:01
want to switch over to the lens cap to
2:04
perfect focus i can see the red
2:06
highlights on it as well
2:08
so to actually get your focus assist set
2:10
up what you're going to need to do is go
2:13
the top left and click on that little
2:16
and from there there's a little person
2:20
it's the second one in you can turn this
2:22
on right here by pressing on and off
2:25
and i usually use high the high setting
2:28
you can do whatever you prefer
2:30
it's kind of um just a preference thing
2:33
all right so to view more options for
2:35
the actual focus assist settings
2:37
you're going to go into the menu by
2:39
pressing on the three little
2:41
the column icon then you can go into
2:44
and from there if you're in the lcd
2:47
setting you can see the focus assist
2:49
you can just tap this on or off but if
2:51
you're actually using
2:53
both hdmi and lcd settings there's going
2:57
for focus assist where you can do
2:59
colored lines or peak
3:01
i'm not too sure what the difference is
3:03
but i prefer colored limes
3:05
again here will be the focus assist
3:07
level so you can do low medium or high
3:10
and then there's also going to be the
3:11
focus color so you can do
3:13
red green blue white or even black
3:18
so i usually do red because it stands
3:21
but let's just try blue and see what
3:25
so again i'm going to zoom in and now
3:29
when i when i roll into focus you can
3:31
see the blue highlight kind of just
3:33
roll across the screen and obviously
3:36
if your f-stop is a little higher or
3:39
lower it'll show more or less
3:41
because more or less will be in focus so
3:44
now that i'm in f14 kind of a lot more
3:51
as you can see like the whole pencil
3:56
and so this is just something that
4:00
especially for portraits and and super
4:03
shots so thanks so much for watching i
4:05
hope this was helpful and that you're
4:07
able to use the focus assist in your
4:09
projects from here on out
4:10
it's really beneficial for me and yeah
4:14
definitely one of those things that it's
4:16
it's more helpful to use than
4:17
it is to just forget about so if you
4:19
have any questions or comments feel free
4:21
to leave them below and
4:22
i'll try and get back to you but other
4:24
than that thanks and have a good one
