Midjourney: Applying camera and lens metadata to AI prompts
MidjourneyDemo summary
The creator demonstrates how adding specific technical keywords like 'Panovision Millennium DXL2' and '14mm lens' to the prompt changes the visual output and framing in the AI generator.
Step-by-step
- Add technical camera keywords to the beginning of your prompt
- Specify a camera body such as 'Panovision Millennium DXL2' or 'IMAX camera'
- Include lens details like 'Zeiss Prime lens' or 'Hawk 5 anamorphic lens'
- Define focal lengths and f-stops such as '14mm' and 'f1.4' or 'f11'
- Use vintage or specific equipment names like 'Sony VFX1000 DV cam' for stylized looks
Options
- Use 'fisheye' keywords for a skater video aesthetic
- Swap camera bodies to change framing styles (e.g., IMAX framing)
- Manually enter metadata instead of using presets for more control
Tips
- Add camera and lens keywords to the top of the prompt to influence the 'Cinema Studio' look
- Expect 'ballpark' results for specific technical settings like f-stops rather than exact optical accuracy
Highlights
“it definitely does show that it's listening. It's making a difference.”
