I use Azden XGS-25 Shotgun fitted on hotshoe/K-Tek Boom Pole with Sennheiser wireless transmitter + receiver, and use fulltime manual focus, so lens focusing sound is never an issue for me.  smile.gif

OMG, what the hell are those stuffs you mentioned??!!! laugh.gif doh.gif

Sorry, I have no experience yet as my DSLR only yet to come. Why I said so because I asked many people and all of them said the focusing sound made them less on video with DSLR.

That's because they use autofocus while recording with their dslr without using any external mic. As I know the internal mic built in dslr would pick up the motor sound in the lens during video recording. smile.gif

Do you mind to explain what are those stuffs you mentioned just now? That could be great reference if I'm planning to do videography as well smile.gif

Basically the Azden shotgun is an external microphone that's able to concentrate more sound recording from the direction it's head is pointing at compared to the ambient sound, which is very useful to record conversation.

K-Tek Boom Pole is a long expandable pole stick where you can fix any mic at the edge of the pole like fishing lol.

Sennheiser is the brand for the wireless sound transmitter/receiver. Fix the transmitter at the Azden shotgun microphone and the receiver on your camera hot shoe with the mic jack fitted into the mic port on the camera, you can do wireless mic set up. smile.gif

Where do you get these items and how much it cost actually? Very pricey?

What do you mean by this doesn't happen always though? You mean Nikon not always replacing with a new unit and fix them instead?

OK, I'll try that. Which mean by the angle of 45 degree, I should only see the middle word sharp? No?

Any specific distant to be?

Correct, from 45 degree, only the word that you focus sharp..... distance you adjust urself la, you zoom till max dy den move around la aiyo....

Nikon usually ask you to claim warranty, coz after sold consider under warranty, my case coz the shop owner is my fren, he help me get 1....

i got a fren who's studying photography in uitm, he's not rich and cant afford a DSLR. usually during assignments he borrow the faculty's camera oni. and it works out pretty well for him smile.gif

I'm more curious with what course which are photography-related and with DSLR as a basic requirement.

I'm not saying can't, but I just feel sorry to those people that can't afford expensive item therefore can't proceed with the course.

can rent, but most student there can buy a camera because most of them got PTPTN  laugh.gif

MMU ma... one of the "easier uni" can get LOAN  biggrin.gif

Ic, at least there are alternatives being available. Well, PTPTN is all about spending future money.
