Quick Fix For Better Video Quality Options

[Kristofer Dahl]

I just added an extra photo lamp from above and managed to increase my selfie video quality quite a bit.

Here you can see the photo lamp in action:



The above is not not a pro lightning in any way, I bought three of them for like $50 from a cheap web store.

NB to clarify - I also use other lamps, but this post is just to show you the difference the additional light makes

Are you sure about the camera?

I have found that even older iphones are able to produce killer results with good lighting!

This was shot with the front/selfie camera on iphone 11 pro (that’s basically a web cam)

Very cool tips btw Monica, will experiment.

One issue is that I need lighting under the table where I sit to propely light up the guitar.

Yes, you are right, you would need an additional light for the guitar.

I'm sure about the camera. I have a Canon 1100D and I don't know why I had in mind that it could record full HD.
I upgrade my PC (still not finished) and I did some tests on different configurations, different monitors (brands, sizes 24", 27", etc.), different connectivity. Because I had some quality issues regarding my videos from the camera, after two weeks of learning, doing experiments, annoying my husband and one of his friends from IT, as a last idea yesterday, I verified what my camera can do and guess what.....can record only HD.

My smartphone records very bad videos. It's a dinosaur compared with your iPhone 11 pro.
I was never a fan of the new phones (are too big ) and that's why I never wanted to invest money in buying a good one. Believe me, I think I was the last one on this earth who switched from a simple mobile phone to a touchscreen one.

I'm daily thinking about going back to my old Nokia 6300 Mostly because I miss physical buttons. My smart phone was about 150 euros 2 years ago. I know that newer phones are nice and all, but I just can't get myself to buy a new expensive one

This is exactly what I also miss....the physical buttons (and the delicate dimensions of a phone). I would also like to go back to my Motorola Rokr Em25. I loved that phone so much.

Your smart phone was 150euro...guess what...my phone was free. I received it a few years ago as a birthday present from my niece. I can't lie so.....my face revealed the "joy" when I opened the gift. All my family laughed.

Haha, I will say that the price "new" was 150 eur, but I got a discount so only paid around 110 eur

Unfortunately here in Denmark a lot of processes now more or less require a phone. Logging into anything more official, i.e. online banking, renewing medicine, driver's license can be shown on a phone, train tickets, Mobile Pay etc. So many things have become things you either do or nearly HAVE to do on a phone. For someone like me who dislikes typing on a phone, which is my main problem with it, it's annoying I sometimes consider bringing a full size computer keyboard with me in my backpocket to connect to my phone. And maybe a mouse!

Same here, and I just cannot understand - given the progress of AI - why someone does not find a smart solution for typing on the phone. Oh well I guess it's just a matter of time!
