Phone Video settings

[Tafflad]

Although I used to take my video camera everywhere, I find on many occasions I just have my phone (Galaxy S21)
The video clips are then set to default as H.264 High L4.0 1080x1920 29.97fps

Looking for some help on 2 questions.
#1 Is there a better video setting to use on the phone, eg should I use HDR10+ HEVC

#2 Is there a basic LUTs file I should use with the Samsung S21, no special effects - just to help optimize output

I would use the 4K setting as that is a better resolution if your editor can handle it.

OK ... not used UHD video mode .... I'll give it a try.

Media Info tells me with UHD it is:

The best thing is increase frame rate from 29.97 to 59.54 (60fps).
