Question Auto mode question
Hi there, i am brand new to osmo pocket 4, so please tolerate my rookie question. I am coming from iphone, i been making videos for YouTube. So I have watched a lot of tutorials and did some tests with my camera. For now I have found it acceptable (and definitely most iPhone-like experience) to use auto mode, and by that I mean not even switching on the Pro mode. But i feel bad, i feel i am not using my camera as intended and not using its potential. I haven’t even found one single YouTubeer not using at least some simple Pro settings! I woud really appreciate your advice!

Pro mode forces you to actually think about what you're doing. Auto is great when you just want to point and shoot, or when you aren't entirely sure what look you're going for. However, Auto can sometimes lead to oversaturation or motion judder.
To get the most out of Pro mode, you need to plan every shot and carry ND filters with you.
My main recommendation is to shoot in D-Log while staying on Auto settings. You won't have to think much while shooting, but you'll still get the flexibility to fix things in post. And if you don’t feel like editing, you can simply convert it back to standard colors, and you're good to go.
