Summary

He finds the 35mm lens easier than the 50mm f/1.8 because its wider angle suits hands-free camera placement. He waits for darker conditions, filming the sunset, moon, clouds, passing car, and freezing outdoor surroundings. Slowing shutter speed brightens unlit scenes, but excessive brightness causes lagging and stuttering during low-light kitchen filming.

Insight

The test shows wider framing improves convenience, while increased brightness compromises motion fluidity.
