wta, how can i do panning for motorsport shot - using C-AF but also focus across the fence?

using C-AF will auto FC the fence into it. hence, i use AF to frame and across the fence, then MF to maintain it.

1. unable to get close to the fence - around 1-2meter from the fence.
2. to focus across the fence, i need to zoom in (certain length) so that the fens is not infocus.
3. Wide angle will put the fence into the frame sad.gif

advise will be great biggrin.gif. still learning. only can get Still photo and not good panning photo sad.gif

show an example maybe?

then i get it why the western uncle beside me can get better clean shot than me in the same spot.
he might using the lens that has such function as you said.
car too fast, even 8fps is not fast enough in close distance sweat.gif

gotta go down the road and practice panning.
*
What aperture are you using when panning? The DOF should be enough to cover a lot of distance I guess?

This kind of situation - can't zoom in (over the fence) as too close to the fence/capture spot. (C-AF fail due to the fence).
zoom out (wide), focus on fence instead, unable to focus on the road/car/opposite.

^DOF not small enough(/f) to erase the fence? hmm.gif
oh yea, i fail on panning, picture too blur (no experience at all), hence i resort to getting still photo instead.

a quick google reveal you can do panning with MF shocking.gif  doh.gif
*
You don't have the care about the fence if you pan correctly, the slow shutter speed with blur out the fence with movement. the smaller sensor of m4/3 makes at hard to blur out obstacles, but at the same time provide more DOF so that the AF system is more forgiving.

my suggestion is turn off AF, use MF, use smaller aperture, and pan. a proper pan will render everything other than the car blurry.

Have to modify the RF-603 only can work on m43. I already had these triggers before getting my EM-5, and I don't want to buy new triggers, so I modified it, following some tutorials online.
*
actually you don't have to modify. on my em10, i used the rf603 from my previous canon system. just mount it on hotshoe leaving the last 2 pins out and it will work. not sure if nikon version works the same way though tongue.gif

guys help biggrin.gif
i can't decide. i have gh4 for both photo/video but i am not happy with image quailty of GH4. video is amazing but i am comparing image with my X100s and X100s is far better.
Should i go for FF on A7II/D750/6D or OMD 5MII. I have several lenses for both photo and video for M4/3 already.

which part of it that you feel not satisfied?

you mean gh4?
-even indoor shooting under light high iso is required. terrible in low light (a bit ok with 25mm f1.4)
-not sharp comparing to x100s.
-after you see x100s pic and look back gh4 jpegs, it doesnt look nice, takes all your mood down, happines and many things
-need higher resolutions for time-lapse videos (also high dynamic range would be nice)

those are not satisfiying. at least i need points above biggrin.gif for example i dont much care about bokeh, battery life or ovf-evf etc.
*
not sharp comparing to x100s hmm.gif something to do with the lens i guess? because last time when i use the olympus 12-40mm on my em10 the sharpness is crazy so i don't think it's the limitation of sensor.

yeah for the other 3 points I can agree with you. I don't think the em5 mkii improved a lot in terms of dynamic range and high ISO, if you really need these 2 you have to go for bigger sensor.

yea right but i am still thinking maybe no need to spend  that much. 6D body is 6K, D750 is 7K, A7II around that price
5DSR is 14K, 5DS is 13K
if you add lens also biggrin.gif it will be a bit much. pfff hmm.gif why i don't have a 3-5 million RM in my bank acc vmad.gif
*
A7 II should be around 5k? best value would either be a7 ii or d750. 6D isn't really worth to get because of the weaker features compared to newer FF cameras although the high ISO is still good.

haha u need donations brows.gif

6D has weaker features? I was aiming for 6d as my first FF.
My 9-18 shows a blank screen on my camera. I've tried rubbing the contacts but still no use... and it stopped working while i'm still on holiday! Need to send to service.
*
When it was new the only competitor was the d600 but the d600 suffered from dust issues so the 6d had advantage. but nowadays as FF sensor improves and you have mirrorless like A7 series, the 6D became a weak camera in comparison.

the sensor from both sony and nikon have a lot better dynamic range but suffers a little in high iso compared to 6d, for me dynamic range matters more than high iso most of the time. and canon was once the leader of good video quality but now it was so far behind compared to sony/ panasonic. lastly the AF system which was really basic and dated.

your pricing is alright to me, so is your topic. it's just that em5 is not that demanded by people now so you have no choice but to wait until the right buyer appears smile.gif

m4/3 cameras generally are quite hard to sell as 2nd unit compared to dslrs/ sony mirrorless.

Hihi, I wanna try out macro shots on flowers n botanicals. What would you sifus recommend be a good starter lens to pair with the EM-10?

By good I mean decent but not necessarily the best and thus the most expensive cos I wanna try out this area now see if wanna proceed further.

Prefer Oly lens if possible.

Thank you!

just get extension tubes/ raynox. they are more than enough for beginners smile.gif

Thanks.

u can get the lower magnification version anyways. and to be honest for flowers kit lens is more than enough.

Guess no good offer on lx100 and availability so less ppl sharing.

Maybe you can get feedback from other countries forum?

Btw, most m4/3 users are shooting more on their daily life event, friends and family photo, so it's common having less discussion here.

You are not planning to get back 12-40mm?
*
nope, the price for that lens increased so much blink.gif basically if i were to buy that lens used i can buy a new lx100.

I vote 12-40mm but on EM1 or coming EM1 II for better grip. biggrin.gif This zoom is really as sharp as the primes. Don't play play.

http://www.photozone.de/m43/862_oly1240?start=1

MTF consistently above 2,750 means very good.

as a ex owner of 12-40mm i can agree with this, i shoot at f2.8 90% of the time using that lens tongue.gif

changed system, i realized i need more than 24-80mm of focal length since I shoot a lot of landscape + macro. Got myself a UWA and telephoto macro lens afterwards.

but still it's a really good lens and for the price there is no other better choice. smile.gif
