Olympus E-P1 720p continuous focus video test

[mdallstar93]

what kind of lens did you use?

[NLS87]

That's normal.

Camera lenses AF aren't made for video or smooth operation. But fast and precise.

[jeffhanson1]

Is that focus gear noise normal? You must be kidding Olympus!

[begoodluck]

Should be sound of auto focusing

[hosseher]

I guess this camera's forte is photography... ussually, digital cameras capable of video do not have autofocus during filming... maybe that is just why... either way... I would buy this camera... it looks amazing.

[nicolais86]

wtf? that sound of a shutter? you hear that in every single video that you record?

[hosseher]

That is the sound of the focus... and I'm guessing yes... which it'll suck ass.... let's hope they find a way to counteract this flaw.

[jshynn]

only if you use the continuous auto focus.

[whatnub]

thats the sound of the focus

[joanyadhatan]

eszméletlenül beteg... :F

[stephen59lic]

You dudes live in Long Island City?

[jackalalpha]

What's it like with manual focus?

[billyandika3158]

focus is noisy and slow, slower than normal digital cameras.

[pubtor]

pretty clear!

[slizzoff]

the focus is niceeeee... but i guess there is no image stabilization... thats pretty lame

[GregV8]

Another CMOS camera -- another sickening rolling shutter effect. It's crap.

[wongsmokesbong]

GH1 doesn't have rolling shutter problems

[ihunter32]

it sounds like someone eating chips when it focuses

[Raptole]

haha

[beckler45]

maybe someone was. Anyway, unusable video because of that. Also, WTH? Video should include some moving objects not just still life. Then again, engadget writers don't ACTUALLY know anything...

[orelsi1000]

Indeed.

[mycomputerdotcom]

@ihunter32  hahahahahahahahahah...

[xxslimjimtightxx]

was that auto focus?

[Magnulus]

Wow... That's an incredibly noisy focus.
