I typically have this at 0, but I might drop down to -10 or go up to +10. You can add a warmer or cooler look depending on what you’re going for. Adjust your white balance until it looks right. If you are outside this could be any number, depending on what time of day and how bright it is. If your studio lights are at 5600K, then this should be at 5600K. I have this set to 3200K, but this depends on your lighting. This camera has a dual native ISO of 400 or 3200. This also depends on the lighting in your environment as the aperture is how much lighting is let into the camera. If you have a zoom lens that might be more towards 2.8. Next we have our aperture which today is set at 4.0 because we have a talk show set and have more things we need to be in focus, but typically it will be at the lowest setting for better depth of field. You can set your shutter angle to 180° degrees unless you’re doing something creative and need to adjust it otherwise. I prefer the shutter angle system over shutter speed. You can adjust this if you’re shooting B roll or slow motion to 60 frames per second. I recommend having this set to 23.98 for standard shooting. We’ll start in the upper left with frames per second.
