Correct camera settings for shooting video of a cell phone screen.

[hacob2004]

Hello,

I'm looking for advice on how to effectively shoot a video of a cell phone screen with a DSLR or similar camera.

I'm trying to shoot some tutorial videos for customers of mine where I detail certain OS tips and tricks etc. However, when I try to shoot the video, the auto exposure seems to black out the background and blow out the screen.

What can I do to ensure that the background stays illuminated but you can also clearly see what is on the screen? I always see people shooting tech reviews on YouTube and they don't seem to have any problems with this. Do I just need brighter lighting in the room?

I will be shooting these videos with either a Canon T5i or Sony rx100m3. also which camera do you think would be best to use?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Manual exposure compensation.

Also record the video slightly out of focus if you get moire pattern.
