QUOTE(blowsh @ Oct 13 2010, 05:11 PM) albnok: i dun get wat is meant by "That 11 cm means you gotta lean back if you want to shoot food on your table." Does it mean that u have to move away from the food? i tot 34cm is how close it can focus, then 34cm should b better then 45cm rite?  yeah its better. you misinterpreted what albnok said la. in simple terms, for C/N, u need lead further away to shoot your food compared to the Sony 50mm. |

QUOTE(evilhomura89 @ Oct 13 2010, 09:55 PM) i was there today too, at around 5pm bought along a sd card to test it since that time not much ppl anyway anyway, the EVF is really nice and there is no difference from looking at the LCD noob question here: i found out that the shutter won't release when it doesn't focus (eg, too close to object), is there a setting to change that? QUOTE(ProX @ Oct 13 2010, 10:00 PM) evilhomura: i am looking for answer to your question too...took me a while to figure out the issue before realizing that the object is out of focus yeah. switch to manual focus then ur shutter can work liao.  if no AF lock, your shutter cannot release one la.  |

QUOTE(d4rkholeang3l @ Oct 13 2010, 10:02 PM) wow..thanks alot for the guidance... i totally agreed that the angle is a bit 'not nice and special' i was fiddling with the 50mm f/1.4 ytd..well, it's my first time using such wide aperture lens... really difficult to get focused shot.. everytime i recompose, i will go OOF... any guides? still got alot to improve on portraiture... use spot focusing la~take ur time..ur model won't run away.. |

QUOTE(evilhomura89 @ Oct 13 2010, 10:06 PM) another possible choice that i've found is to lock focus first, then re-compose and release shutter QUOTE(d4rkholeang3l @ Oct 13 2010, 10:09 PM) haha...she wont run.. but i was wondering any way to lock focus and recompose ? DOF is too thin..very difficult... even sometimes when i use spot focusing with the side AF point, it's not composed the way i want reply to both: cannot la..if you recompose and focus, your focus point sure run one. especially so when your D.O.F is so shallow. reply to ray: what you mean composed the way u want? composition and precise focusing is two different things.

QUOTE(d4rkholeang3l @ Oct 13 2010, 10:14 PM) let's say if i want it to be at the upper right corner of the frame, i still need to focus on her eye (with the upper right AF point ) oni recompose the pic in the way i want by moving the camera slightly diagonally to the left. but by the time i recompose, her eyes is already OOF... this is when hyperfocal distance comes into play, which i am still learning. maybe sifu albnok can teach. i get what you mean. of course, having a body with looooooooooooots of AF points can make our life easier as well.

QUOTE(soulfly @ Oct 15 2010, 10:59 AM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « there are a few types of shooting that could make use of the limitations of VDSLT/VDSLR (short shooting durations, lens motor noise, etc.):
- short/experimental/low-mid budget films
- commercial
- music video
the current VDSLT/VDSLR is not suitable for
- news reporting/journalistic/documentary video
- wedding coverage
Why?
If you guys ever learned film production, or shooting actual films, you'd know that each scene takes are normally no more than 1 minute. Very rare goes beyond 3 mins. After that it's all about editing on how the director and editor will put every bits and pieces of shots together. Sound (even ambient) is often added separately. Mic with boom is always used. We never use the built-in mics eventhough there's one on our video camera. We are even encouraged to use manual focus. However I wish the current implementation accepts recording in RAW video, and support XLR inputs for high quality mics. Maybe there's adapter, but I don't know.
If I were to sum up, back then in uni, we only need/use: manual focus, external mics, built-in ND filter (used accordingly), and a very good sturdy tripod of course.
Not suitable for news reporting or wedding coverage due to handling, and limited shooting duration. Video camera is always the best in these areas.
I might have missed a few things though.
Oh ya... I know I've been missing for a while. Just being busy with other businesses... no time for photography anymore.  wa long time no see another sifu~ |
