I want to do some filming for something. To be completely honest I have no understanding or idea of anything about cameras, so could you also give me some useful info on what I should look out for and how to use them?

(I'm obviously aware pic is way out of my price range)

I'm doing a lot of filming in the dark, often at bright lights and moving objects. I don't want a shallow DOF for most of it. So I would be better off with the latter 3?
>>
>>4396008
>>4396016
I also want to, when editing, transition and fade a lot of the shots, overlapping them in various ways. Does the raw footage and camera affect the quality this sort of editing once downloaded to the software?

I bought a ZV-E10 mk1 a couple weeks ago and I'm still in the return window. It suits all my needs except it doesn't have a viewfinder. For the same price, can I get something that does video and autofocus as well, but has a viewfinder?

OP here.

ok guys thanks for the tips. I bought a Lumix s5ii. It has some problems but I'm sold on
- 'almost never overheats' (I recorded 8 straight hours of 4k30 8bit, followed immediately by 4 hours of 4k60 10bit, no problemo)
- viewfinder dunks on everything else at the price point

Chunkier than what I wanted and L-mount has shit selection, but oh well.

If anyone who knows an Apple employee, or knows someone who knows an Apple employee, sees this, could you convince them to pitch the idea of adding the golden ratio to the camera settings? There is already a grid option for the rule of thirds, and I'm sure many people including myself would appreciate it. The golden ratio is mathematically complex and beautiful in its own right, an this makes it appear more attractive to the eyes.

Thank you very much, kind soul.

I don't believe in any of this stuff. Look in the viewfinder, move it around a bit and you will feel where it is just right. You have looked at so many pictures, you already know what you like.
Try the horizon up or down a little, it gives you different feels. Something on the sides, a frame within the frame, layers, light and dark and that contrast.
Backlight make it easier.
It's an emotion that you're after, and you know it when you feel it.

I would say buy it off me but it's too damn useful to sell, its got a super long MF throw so precise focusing on DSLR is pretty easy and it's the sharpest 300 tamron ever made, even sharper than much newer models.

Didn't even know that lens existed. Nice score. Seems to be rather affordable for what it is.
>>
>>4394941
Yeah I mean the IQ is pretty good for vintage lens, but the price is because it lacks a red ring or autofocus. There's actually a tokina one that isn't quite as sharp but does have autofocus for similar prices too.

Depending on how you use them, damaged items might be worth a look.
I recently got a Minolta MD 50mm f/1.4 for 50 bucks because the filter thread was dented.
>>
>>4382810
My experience is the exact opposite.
Bought a Minolta a7 and lens package deal from Japan, both exactly as advertised and near mint apart from a small scratch on the lens hood.
Just now an AF 50mm f/1.4 arrived from a professional seller in my own country who advertised it as near mint with obvious fungus not visible in the pictures or mentioned in the description. I'm fucking furious.

>Wisconsin Death Trip is a 1973 historical nonfiction book by Michael Lesy, originally published by Pantheon Books. It charts numerous sordid, tragic, and bizarre incidents that took place in and around Jackson County, Wisconsin between 1885 and 1900, primarily in the town of Black River Falls. The events are outlined through actual written historical documents—primarily articles published in the town newspaper—with additional narration by Lesy, as well as excerpts from works by Hamlin Garland, Sinclair Lewis, and Glenway Wescott, which thematically parallel the incidents depicted. The text is accompanied by contemporaneous photographs and portraits taken in Black River Falls by photographer Charles Van Schaick. Thematically, the book emphasizes the harsh aspects of Midwestern rural life under the pressures of crime, pestilence, mental illness, and urbanization.

>Wisconsin Death Trip developed a cult following in the years following its publication. In 1999, British filmmaker James Marsh adapted the book into a critically-acclaimed docudrama film of the same name. It was subsequently reprinted in 1991 by Anchor Books, and by the University of New Mexico Press in 2000.

>Wisconsin Death Trip charts myriad grim and bizarre occurrences that took place in and around Jackson County, Wisconsin—in particular, the city of Black River Falls—between 1885 and 1910. In addition to a disintegration of the local economy after the closure of several industrial mines, the populace is plagued by a diphtheria epidemic that claims the lives of numerous children, as well as a series of violent crimes, murders, suicides, arsons, religious delusions, mental illness, and superstitions. The vandalism crimes of Mary Sweeny are also showcased throughout.

What do anons prefer? The swabs or the blower? I keep seeing varying shit on forums about blowers introducing more dust, but manufacturers seem to always recommend the blower and tilting the camera upside down.

It makes more sense to me to avoid physical contact with the sensor and the blower seems safest.

Sup /p/,
Just bought this A7sII off ebay for $650 with only 410 "shutter actuations" measured and like 5 spare batteries thinking it would be mint.
After inspecting it, it had some pretty heavy hotshoe usage and slight body grease stain from the grip area. I thought alright, not bad (could mean videos/long exposures were shot I think).
That is until I ended up turning on the camera and shooting some video at night to test how good it is at low light.
After shooting a couple videos I decide to check on my computer how the 4k quality is of a 2015 camera and it looked good until I noticed the color of the following red and blue hot/stuck pixels kept showing up along with one white one in the left.
The pixels "go-away" when taking pictures or when the camera is turned on after a night but I guess they turn white in pictures (see below)?

If anyone knows of a fix for this issue that isn't the month/pixel remapping one I can give them $ in compensation as I have to go to Italy in a few days and want to use it at night.
Btw this is the first time I hear of this phenomenon and already tried the sensor remapping fix of setting the month back and zilch.
Anything helps at this point

This isn't a Sony thing, this is just a camera thing. it's been abused to hell and used for a lot of video, even you noticed it considering how worn out the hot shoe was.

You bought a cheap and very heavily used camera, this is not brand specific.

As someone that also owns an actual point and shoot as well, and RX100, an A7 body even with that crappy Chinese pancake doesn't come anywhere close. I just don't see the point of a really small lens if it's staying on the body, you're still not going to be able to put it in your pocket. You're just making compromises so that it sticks out an inch less when it's hanging from a strap around your neck.

Anons should I get the zv-e1?
Focus will be exclusively video, and looking for full-frame for lens compatibility w the stuff I already have.

FX3 is out of my budget range, but willing to consider the FX30. I'm worried about low-light performance for nighttime though.

Anyone have experience with this camera that can give input on overheating issues, or missing features that would make/break?
Mainly going to shoot shorter clips and/or vlog style.
