LOW LIGHT tips with the DJI OSMO POCKET

This video can be applied to any other camera but I did make this specific to the Osmo Pocket. Reducing grain in your footage can help you get "professional" looking videos.
These tips will help you think about the next time you shoot with any camera under low light situations.
I hope this video helps you create amazing content.

[@garystackhouse5787]

I've found that, while there MAY be more grain in D-Cine for any specific ISO setting, because of the better dynamic range, you can shoot with a lower ISO in D-Cine for any given situation, so they cancel each other out.

[@RiggingDoctor]

We use the DJI Oslo for our travel vlog. The colors and stabilization is incredible!

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

great job! I love seeing the osmo pocket in use

[@adrianyup4197]

Did not know about the added grain in D-Cine thanks for the heads up :D

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Thank you for watching Adrian. Neither did I until I did this testing

[@DOHCtorMiguel]

Great video. I just purchased an Osmo Pocket like a week ago and had the latest firmware and didn't know there was an option for 24 fps until I saw this video (6:01) Thank you so much.

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Thank you for watching. Glad you learned something from this. I have plenty more other Osmo Pocket content you can check out

[@BeckersReviews]

Thanks, Osmo pocket is gradually turning into my only camera. It’s good to know these tricks.

Thanks for stopping by my bro. We know how good this little thing is

[@Stephy_Lau]

I appreciate you did so many osmo pocket’s videos! Thank you so much please don’t forget this little stuff coz there are so many new cameras release recently! Pls pls do more !

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Thank you for watching Stephy. There will always be more DJI Osmo Pocket videos produced on this channel :)

[@michaelburnett9438]

I just bought the DJi osmo pocket to team up with my autel evo. I need a zoom cam, too. Probably the FZ300 I'll grab up this month.
If I'm ever shooting inside, studio lighting is always used. It's a necessity in my opinion. Outside, once that sun goes into its full setting and I lose the natural lighting, I wrap it up and shut it down. I also don't film outside on gloomy, darkish, cloudy days. That's just me 🤪🤷‍♂️

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

thank you for sharing Michael. Cheers for the comment

[@mataudaraproduction3398]

all the input are useful for me as a Osmo Pocket user. currently i'm using it as my main camera for cinematic videos. Thumbs Up and keep it up Jason Morris.

[@houstonprofessionalphotogr2603]

I agree I have found everything you have said to be true. I have the Sony a73 and A7r2 and A7r3 I got the Dji osmo pocket a few weeks ago as a gift from a client started using it as a toy camera meaning like a smartphone after looking more into the camera I have found way to make the footage match my Sony video it's a very good B camera . Thanks as always for you insight

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Thank you for watching. The osmo pocket has definitely served more than its purpose in my videos with vlogging and as a B camera

[@constablebentonfraser5014]

Dude all your content on the osmo pocket is the best on youtube. Mine will get here next week and I am gonna be well prepared thanks to your content. Keep it up. Top job. Best wishes from UK. Peace.

I found the 360° rule also helpful as long as you don't move too much ie: 25 fps @ 1/25 shutter speed

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Thank you for watching. That definitely would help under low light. just not great for motion haha

[@HIGHOCTANERC]

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Thank you for watching Hannes. Glad it helped you out

[@robovirtuoso1354]

Great visualisation, or "audiolisation" lol (i think auralisation is the right word), of ISO. Also thanks for the advice to use normal picture profile for low-light. This makes sense because D-Cinelike being a logarithmic profile seems primarily intended to capture scenes with very high contrast, whereas low-light scenarios obviously has quite low contrast to begin with. Not sure about this, but it seems the Osmo Pocket is internally bumping up the exposure to match the log profile, that's why there's more noise.

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Thank you for watching. I would agree. I think they've bumped that ISO to help capture more of the shadows. I guess that is kind of what log profiles usually do

[@grzegorzs5749]

Jason, great tips for Osmo pocket users. Thanks for your experiences with so many different cameras. After your CZcams movies from Amateur I became kind of Proffesionalist ;) Thanks Man. :)

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Thank you for watching mate :)

[@kwoknation]

I'm thinking of picking up the Osmo Action over the Pocket, how would you compare the low light performance for both?

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

the osmo pocket has a very slight advantage in low light as it has an aperture of f2.0 over the f2.8 aperture in the osmo action. both have the same sensor

[@deblashbrook3209]

Thank you, massively useful 👍

[@Eti1968]

Thanks for your research, bit surprised that you recommend normal in low light but I’ll sure try it.

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Thank you for watching. I am just surprised by the grain in D-Cinelike profile. I am not a fan of shooting in normal profiles but sometimes it just has to be done

[@chaitanyasoorya]

Thx a lot ! I see lots of noise in my videos with the Sony Rx0 2 in low light. Will apply those tips 😂 and in my osmo pocket too

This video is super helpful and on point, thanks! In particular I didn’t know the D-Cinelike profile introduces so much noise into the video. I would be viewing my Osmo pocket footage on my computer and wondering why it looks so grainy! I’m staying away from D-Cinelike from now on

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Thank you for watching. Neither did I. I was surprised when doing all the testing for this video

[@totoroutes5389]

Are you going to make that your main camera for all weddings and corporate videos?

[@LifeFoodVillageDut]

Good info I have to learn more about Dji Osmo pocket
Thank you

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Thank you for watching. There is so much to learn :)

[@TheInvisibleTraveler]

I finally bought Osmo Pocket used one for only $210 in excellent condition. Just looking for best low light settings.

[@TheSecretVault]

Denoise in HSL in Premiere doesnt remove Noise on the footage overall its to denoise the HSL selection only....
Try SGrain remove by Sapphire for a GPU accelerated noise cleaner which is great for Chroma noise without desharpening the footage. Theres no reason why you cant go 360@ shutter ie FPS = 25 and shutter = 25... blur is good.

[@EwikG]

This is Very informative Thank You!

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Thank you for watching Ewik. hope you enjoyed that one

[@realMDizzy]

You're stepping up your game!

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Haha I am trying. Trying to bring better quality

[@ccjmusic]

When shooting stills I also always shoot in RAW. That way I can reduce the noise when the RAW file is processed.

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Thank you for watching. Definitely a great tip!

[@bmxbasti]

I also noticed that the noise in auto is much less (but that is what one should expect). But dark areas are also much darker in auto than in d-cinelike. So less noise definitely means much less detail (dynamic range).
I also noticed that in d-cinelike, though one preserves more details in the shadows, it comes with a weird color shift (shadows becoming violet). Do you also have this effect?

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Thank you for watching. Yes, it does capture more details in the shadows as I believe they increase the internal gain to get more info in the image through the shadows. There definitely is a colour shift. I tried matching the colours in post with reds and just could not match. It seems they have also added some digital sharpening in D-Cinelike

[@deadmanswill]

Hey thanks! That one about D-Cine like is new. I'll definitely check it out this time because I'm getting a lot of grain in early morning shots even at 100 ISO. It was very frustrating. Perhaps the normal profile would help me out.

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

yeah potentially switch to ISO 100 with Normal picture profile. I was shocked when I did the testing

[@deadmanswill]

@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Will do man.

[@imjawads]

5:34 GODOX light with an umbrella please can you share more details about that in reply?

[@tycrecords4175]

Oh, also, 24 and 12 mp sensors of the same size have the same overall sensor area, and as such theoretically the same amount of noise.
Individual pixels of the 24 mp picture are smaller and thus noisier, but if the resolution is reduced to 12 megapixels in post production, each resulting pixel is an average of multiple original pixels - this averaging reduces noise.
The resulting 24 > 12 mp image should be comparable to 12 mp camera's image.

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

that's not what sony claims. They claim the A7sii gathers more light with better SNR ratio by having the lower 12MP full frame sensor

If a person own Sony A6xxx, then is it better to buy Feiyutech G6plus or DJI pocket Osmo for vlogging.

[@rowen680]

Hey Jason nice video. Got a quick question here. What is the different if I shoot 24 fps and shutter speed higher (not double frame rate) vs using ND filter and follow the 180 rule? Is it the footage will be sharped?

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

hi! yes, the footage will look sharper and you wont get smooth motion blur. It may even appear quite choppy. Great for sports though.

[@bnsgokugreat]

When I changed to these settings, the camera is shooting at lowest exposure.How to correct that?

[@GlennInocencio]

This is very useful. What if i want to slow down the video? When I tried 25fps and slowed it down by half, the result is not good.

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

25fps should be the lowest. you have to film in a higher frame rate to have the ability to slow it down. film in 50fps and slow it down by 50% or even 100fps and slow it down by 25% you will get smooth slow motion providing shutter speed is also double the frame rate

[@MargaretWolfPhotog]

Need advice. Want to follow someone running through the leaves. Looking for smooth, cinematic footage. Do I:
1. Shoot at 60fps
2. Shoot at 24fps at 1/50
3. Shoot 1080 (120fps) at slow-mo then speed up in post?
I want smooth but also dont want blur because its a fast-moving action.
Thanks.

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

I would go 4k 60fps with shutter at 1/120th. You will get nice slow motion with the leaves flicking up and also have that juicy 4k quality

[@cena99901]

I shoot with the DJI pocket 2 at 4k 60fps with auto settings and normal color. I shoot in broad daylight, the ISO is around 100 but the noise/grain is super obvious. It happens to all my videos. Still trying to figure why that happens or people usually rely on post edit on this, not ideal tho.
