      Thank you for your comment. The microphone used was Sony and maybe I hadn't set the limiters on the camera. Personally, for commercial work, I prefer to have a sound recordist with a boom mic and mixer tethered to the camera to monitor the sound closely. That was not possible on that day. Incidentally, any auto settings in these circumstances would be very likely to be problematical especial with the cacophony of ambient sounds on this occasion. I hope this helps.

    Hello again. I was ready to buy this camera but I have read some bad comments about its Autofocus stability. What is your opinion ? Also are you satisfied from low light performance (noise) becouse I m going to use it a lot at indoor and low light conditions.. thank you

    • @filmmakingmad
      @filmmakingmad 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello. I have no issues with the auto focus. The low light capabilities are quite satisfactory when shooting in 1080p but you have to be aware that the lens is not a constant aperture type. When you zoom in the aperture closes and then you can be in real trouble with noise. As I have not upgraded to 4k with this camera so no comment be made about its performance at these resolutions. I hope this helps, Regards.
