Advise on Camera/Video Settings

[Dimas de Leon]

I recently took a trip to the Grand Canyon and took tons of pictures and videos to later realize that I was using the worst camera settings possible, pictures and video were very small as I taken on a 15 year old digital camera.

If I wanted to take video and pictures so that I can make a nice video of my next trip, any advise on the best settings for video recording and taking pictures?

What would be better:

I tried experimenting and I might be crazy but I feel 16:9 FHD 60fps looks better than the same setting but with Super Steady on?

UHD (not 60fps) seemed super shaky too me, with and without Super Steady, am I right?

And, even though I set my video settings to 16:9, If I change it to FULL recording in the view mode, does that override my settings? When I go back into the settings, the settings are 19:9 2288x1080.

For pictures, which option do you prefer? Full, 9:16, 3:4 or 1:1?

Thanks.

I don't take video much, so I chose 16:9 FHD 1920x1080 for both rear and front. For photo, I have it at Full ratio as default.
