How to optimize final media

• Preparation before shooting: Fingerprints, dust, or oil stains on the lens can easily lead to blurry images and glare, affecting the shooting quality. It is recommended to gently wipe the lens with a professional lens cloth or paper to ensure it is clean and free of debris before shooting.
• Suggestions for post-production export: If you chose to record 4K video, it is recommended to export high-bitrate 4K video in H.265 format during post-production. Exporting videos in 1080p or a lower bitrate will not leverage the advantages of 4K.
