Do DSLR cameras take good video?

Not really. You want to be sure you’re capturing images that are clear, sharp, and that look like they were taken on a professional DSLR.

If you’re shooting in real time, you may be better off using a video recording. If you’re just shooting your subject’s face then you might be better off shooting at 10 FPS. There are plenty of people who take videos on their iPads, but they don’t take any pictures.

In reality, unless you’re shooting on a professional DSLR, the best way to get good shots is to just be creative.

The fifth option in photo mode allows you to add some creative flair to your video.

Video mode is most useful for capturing action photos that you can’t get in stills. If you capture a scene where everything in the shot looks like a slow-motion picture, you’re probably dealing with slow-motion. A slow-motion photo will give you something to look at, but only if you know what to look for. When you’re trying to capture fast action, you want to make sure you’re seeing the action. Using video mode, you’ll get something that’s much clearer and fast-moving than the still photos you’re using.
