When using the camera in manual mode I manage to take and record better videos.

I use this for both photography and video, and even the video is excellent

To do so you can set the film simulation mode (ACROS, Monochrom, etc., perhaps a bit of a misnomer because it can be applied to stills as well as video), which can be configured to render a beautiful black and white jpeg still photo while maintaining red focus peaking in live view
