[QUOTE="Osantacruz, post: 520893, member: 10564"] You'll probably want to stick to 1080/30. Don't do 50 or 60 unless you want to turn it into slow motion. Shoot in manual. The general starting point is to keep your shutter speed double your frame rate so at 1080p/30, use 1/60 shutter. Focus on the eyes using an aperture like f5.6 or higher to give you some wiggle room to stay in focus if they move a bit. Once focused, switch lens to manual so it doesn't keep trying to refocus. White balance will depend on the color temp of your lights. With 2 LED lights, use one about 45 degrees from straight on their face and use the second to fill in anywhere it's too dark. Depending what the video is about, you can fit that into the background or if it's a business that has a nice big sign, use that. Don't use the cameras internal speakers!
