NEX-3 Sample Movie

[andrademeza]

@snapkeck82 absolutely. ive been doing all day since my camera got here

[onyx704]

You cant get that DOF with the kit lense i had to get the Sony alpha f1.8 to get any real bokeh. but the AF on the alpha lense using the e-mount body is very very slow and loud. the only thing the kit lense is good for is video if you had to use AF

[snapkeck82]

is it possible to defocus the backgroung using the standard 18-55 lens?

thanks

[dudueichi]

What lens did u use????????? Thanks!

[Bigglyte]

WHT KIND OF LENS WAS THAT

[itzmalife]

That's a korean girl texting like crazy lol

[1Dacruz]

how did you blur the backround on the video?



[MinimeDrummerBoi]

@1Dacruz That's the camera and it's aperture....

[hilariousguys]

@1Dacruz It's called 'Bokeh', this is the result of a small F. stop number on a lens being used wide open. A good lens to use when blurring background is the nifty-fifty (or 50mm) these lenses vary from F1.8 - f0.95. This is the lens probably used in this video to achieve such a shallow depth of field (this is also a term used to refer to the background blur). Also, lenses with low F. stops are better for night-time shooting.

Hope I helped!

@hilariousguys thank you for that! Helped me lots!! :)

@hilariousguys Hi, i have a stupid question, but i'd like to know if this blur background effect you've mentioned is only possible with these kind of cameras or hd-camcorders are also capable??? I mean, i 'd like to buy a camcorder that could do exactly like this video...please, can you give me any tip? sorry my bad english!

[hilariousguys]

@dudueichi With a (consumer) HD camcorder, this effect is very minimal, it's there for the most part, just minimal. Part of the reason this crazy amount of depth-of-field is produced by a DSLR is because of the HUGE sensor, for example, the sensor in a camcorder/point-and-shoot is say this big; o, while the one in a DSLR is this big; O. The bigger sensor takes in more light producing the shallower depth of field yadda-yadda-yadda... Hey! I should make a beginners guide to cameras/camcorders....

[hilariousguys]

@dudueichi It's not a stupid question, by the way, at one point, I didn't know about all this junk! =D Coninueing from the previous reply;

A bigger sensor also makes low-light shooting WAY easier to achieve because it takes in so much light. Also, the shallow depth of field is more.. ummm... BOLD? In macro shooting Because (here comes another example) In macro shooting, the camera is focused at point M while the hills, 20 miles down the road are point H. M.............................­.......H

[hilariousguys]

@dudueichi Now, if you were focused at a building (B) a little while away, the hills are now really, only 10 miles from where the camera is focused; M................B............­..H, what this all boils down to is that the hills are more out-of-focus when the camera is focused at a flower (M) than at the building (B). Does that sort of make sense? If it doesn't, or if it does, then hit me up VIA private message and I can explain more. I'll be glad to help!

[agentelectric]

great video sample! love the bokeh effect! didnt know the zoom lens can produce such nice dof effects. Is the video edited in any way or is it straight from the camera? :D

[jdtx1]

There can be a a couple of hundreds dollars difference between the sony and canon especially since the nex 3 is being discontinued. Canon ti2 does not have autofocus and the price compared to the sony its a shame. For the pro and someone familiar with slr's i recommend the canon but for the beginner/novice and someone who wants somethings small yet more powerful than a compact, micro 4/3 and some entry level dslr's i highly recommend the sony nex.

[elBoannski]

Is this better than the Canon rebel t2I??????????? I'm stuck between the two.

[PunkBoy755]

@elBoannski the t2i is better..

[Fussball247]

what lens did u use? the 16mm?

[wopij]

@Fussball247 Most definitely not. 16mm is a wide angle lens, this is no wide angle shot.

So don't get the 16mm kit, get the camera with the zoom lens.

[nmb987]

is this the stock lens that comes wiht the cam? what mode or filter ? i wanna know if u can do vids like this out of the box cuz im thinking of getting it

[5itv]

이 동영상에 대한 어떤 렌즈를 사용했습니까?

[5itv]

What lens did you use for this video.

[FREESPACEBOY]

@usa. I'm shooting a movie on a budget. Most of my budget is on the special effects. I appreciate this camera and its depth of field. I was going to invest in a bunch of Canons, but this camera seem to be able to pull it off. So, I will use these cameras along with some powerful editing.

[FREESPACEBOY]

Awesome. I going to buy 4 of them....................Thank you for posting this. i was going to invest in the expensive Canon 5D

[Venezuela305]

Oh wow, that looks amazing.

I want one!!!

[ultranimator]

This is Movie Quality Impressive!

[JonathanGardnerTV]

Wow looks like movie quality!! I can't wait to get one omg! :D

[DudeMan20two]

VIDEO LOOKS SO NICE!!! :D

Can it Continuously Focus while recording video? Or is it Manual???

[FBSJoshua]

@DudeMan20two it auto focuses all the time unless you set it so you have to do it manually

[DudeMan20two]

@FBSJoshua THAT"S AWESOME!!!!!!! I LOVE SONY!!! :D

[TheBuddhaKid]

@DudeMan20two yes it can :]

[GadgetTrish]

I really love the depth of field on this post.
