How do you know what focal length to use?
The lower the focal length number, like 11 or 14 or 24, the more of the scene in front of you gets included in the frame. If you want to fill the frame with a small portion of the scene in front of you, use higher-number focal lengths, like 100, 200 or 400.
What does 600mm focal length mean?
Read this answer to a relevant question to understand how these relate. Taking your examples, the lens with a 600mm maximum focal-length has the smallest angle-of-view and therefore will magnify a distant object more. This type of lens is mostly used for bird and wildlife photography.
What lens is good for YouTube videos?
So, from top to bottom, I’d say the 35mm is the best for shooting YouTube videos. It’s not too close. It’s not too wide. The 50mm is definitely the cleanest and richest shot.
Is 24mm enough for vlogging?
Many vloggers use wide-angle lenses because they can be used in tight spaces such as a bedroom or kitchen to show as much of the scene as possible. A 24mm lens is good for that purpose, but an ultra-wide lens is even better.
Is a higher or lower focal length better?
The shorter the focal length (e.g. 18 mm), the wider the angle of view and the greater the area captured. The longer the focal length (e.g. 55 mm), the smaller the angle and the larger the subject appears to be.
Is 35mm good for vlogging?
If you don’t like all that zoom, a 35mm lens is a nice middle-ground that can help you stand closer to the camera. It’s better if you lack the space in your room, but it is still not recommended for handheld vlogging.

What focal length is the best?
The best focal length is the one that best isolates the subject, or hero, in your image, and keeps out the distractions, or villains. As a general rule, choose a long focal length lens, like 70, 135, or 200mm to isolate textures and distant features to create dramatic backgrounds.
