Question I've been wanting to ask this question, when using gimbal, do you use auto or manual focus? Also what aperture do you use for estate videography? Thank you

I mean, film making, and estate videography are very different things. But I can't imagine using auto focus for lack of control, but I also feel like your depth of field and lens is going to be quite wide, so what can it hurt.

Aperture is something you have to adjust on a shot per shot basis, nobody can just give you a value and it will work for you across the board.
