does this lens auto-focus?

[wolfcattube]

@BennyG0 yes it does, either full manual or autofocus are options.

YEAH MAN lets watch some model trains on some HD 720P

[dxdownloop]

wrong framerate, its not sync to the Hz of the lights... thatswhy the rolling stripes!!!

[Vayner11]

@dxdownloop how do you know what to set the fr to???

[dxdownloop]

@Vayner11

in europe normally electonics Hz is 50Hz, and USA 60Hz... if you shoot in 1/50sec

or 1/100sec in europe or 1/60sec and 1/120sec in US you schould be safe.

sometimes the lower rate works better, sometimes the higher, it ven depends on which kind of look you like and how many frames you record... so read about the shutter rule for video and film...

you will see at your liveview if you have rolling stripes or not

@dxdownloop thanks a ton

@TheRealChina It's called depth of field. People in video production spend thousands of dollars to get this 'both sides are very blurry'. Go watch a movie.

Just because it's possible, you don't HAVE to use it in every shot... I too thinks it's a bit much here.... but nice vid wolfcattube!

Thing is, this guy is using a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens, so he basically had no choice as to depth of field: when filming with a Nikon D90, the camera automatically selects the widest diaphragm aperture available, and there's no changing that. This means that this vid was shot at f/2.8, which results in very shallow DOF.

[stefanravn]

Thanks for explaining that. :-)

[Angerfist2]

expensive camera

[dtdownunder]

Should have put the 'thomas the tank engine' music on this ;) or even better - helicopter noise - so it creates the illusion that the camera is on a tiny helicopter!

[aquatone01]

great vid, I love model trains. The colours have come out great and love the DOF. Are you using a light on top of your camera?
