Hello!
Quite soon after I got my Pocket 2, I also bought myself a 6-pack set of PolarPro Polarizer and ND Filters (ND4-ND64). I am still quite a newcomer when it comes to using ND filters and polarizers with cameras (both photo- and videography), and I'm still a bit confused about the settings concerning the ISO and shutter speeds. As far as I have understood, when, for instance, I am shooting video inside a reasonably-lit (normal roof lamps, some light spots such as table lamps etc.) house at 1080p30fps, I should be setting the shutter at 1/60 and the ISO setting should not be more than 400, and I either should be using no filter or if I use, it shouldn't be darker than ND4. However, when I tried using these settings, it seems like the material got somewhat underexposed. While in theory, raising the ISO number could ease the problem, it also introduces noise and graininess into the picture the higher the number is. I also remember hearing somewhere that ISO exposures exceeding 1600 should never be used.
I feel a tad stupid pondering these settings, and I haven't even yet changed much of the white balance settings. So is there some kind of for-dummies guide somewhere to consult, to see when and which kind of settings and filters to use for general use?
I mostly shoot at 1080p30, as I want to have the HQ enabled and I currently don't have any 4K monitors and projectors. Also, as far as I have understood, 1080p is still fully acceptable quality for YouTube use (which will be my main channel for recording and releasing video, besides having the files on my computer).
Don't know if this is a dumb question, but any help would be appreciated :-)
