Hi,
I hope someone can give me some advice, I certainly need it!
I want stream with three cameras from my painting studio, in indoor natural light.
I’m looking at the BM micro studio camera and it looks perfect. But I’ve seen a lot of reviews where people raise questions about its low light performance.
I don’t know if my situation qualifies as low light. I have read that the camera’s native ISO is 800, so I should get the best results at that ISO.
I’ve tested shooting with my canon DSLR (EOS 760D with a 50mm 1:1.8 prime lens) at 800 ISO. I set the shutter speed to 120, so that I had at least double the frame rate, should I want to stream at 60fps. With these settings, I need the aperture set to 3.5 to get a good exposure.
With the same ISO and the aperture set to 5.6, I need a shutter speed of 50 on this camera to get a good exposure.
Does this sound like a good lighting situation for the micro studio camera?
My concern is that the MFT sensor won’t perform as well as the one in my DSLR and I may need to get more light in the camera and have to increase the ISO, which will mean also a wider aperture. I think?
Forgive me if I’m making any big mistakes in my thinking here - I’m a complete noob at this and only learned about the exposure triangle last week!
Here’s an example of a stream I did recently on facebook. I know the quality is awful (apologies in advance for offending the professionals here). One of the cameras is my macbook air and the other two don’t output full HD. I also had the settings in OBS wrong.

Basically I want to take what I’m doing here and make it really high quality. So I really need to upgrade! But it at least shows a typical situation for what I want to stream. I need to stay with just natural light from the window in order to light the subject and the painting correctly.
I’d really appreciate anyone’s thoughts on whether the micro studio camera will be a good fit here, or whether I should go for something with a bigger sensor, given the lighting conditions.
Currently I’m considering 3 cameras plus the ATM tv studio switcher + some kind of monitoring. The output from the switcher will go into my BM ultra studio mini and into a laptop running OBS from there.
Thanks!
