  • How does the manual focus work on this camera? I'm thinking about buying this camera soon

  • can you please tell me if teh only way to make this effect depth of field in this HV40 is by rolling down the manual focus ??...or there is another way to do it..

    thanks

  • Oh! so nice!

    I'm going to buy this, for skating

  • I have a HV30. I hate the focus.  I wish changing the focus on it was more like a GL2 with a ring.

  • i just bought my camera yesterday, what settings are needed to do this other that manual focus?

  • Just got HV40 :D Its AMAZING! I love it, it rocks, merry christmas!

  • it has manual focus?is it easy to do depth of field?

    thnx

  • hey man. this is auto focus and maunual. and DOF is not something that is a technic really, it depends on your camera.

  • hv20/30/40 they are all the same... the only diff is just the (lcd screen is more vibrant in hv30/40) ,

    hv30 has 30p and hv40 (they say that has 24 native) instead of 24f.. heh gimmick..

    they are all great.. and provide awesome image clarity... I had the hv20 sold it and got 30 ... with 550$ on amazon :)

  • not true

  • SO GOOD :) How much was it?

  • it depends where you get it from. the HV40 is the most expensive and can cost over 1k but look for it under £800. The HV30 is about £700 and is not all that diferent to the HV40. dont know about the HV20

  • They look like great cameras. exclnt quality pics!

  • Exactly what I was looking to find out about this camera

  • tHIS SHOWS HOW NOT TO FILM

    very very poor

  • sorry wasn't meant to be anything more than me fooling around the day i got the camera.

    as much as i was heavy-handed with the focus wheel, it actually allows you to see how many times i had to turn it in this video to adjust the focus...so in that sense, maybe it's a plus.

    yes, this video is awful but i hope it shows that capability of this camera w/o any accessories as far as depth of field goes.

  • what kind of rain cover did you use lol? and btw great video showed exactley what i needed to know

  • I'm glad it helped. In retrospect I should've made a better one but I have better things to do, lol.

    I didn't use a rain cover, actually, i was under cover where i filmed...BUT...I made one once cutting up a one gallon milk carton with a box cutter. Cheap and effective!

  • It's just a field test, they weren't trying to be entertaining. It clearly shows the depth of field. ...exactly what I wanted to know about.

  • I think so maybe stoped video bored

  • "Stupid" is spelled with an "i", you dumb-ass. You must be the "stupid" one.

    This video was functional and informative, not for entertainment.

  • wow, it clearly says that in the title, and video description

  • i keep uploading them and they keep getting stuck! i dunno what's up.

  • good video!

  • I have an HV30 too. A good way to simulate a short depth of field is just standing far away from your subject and zooming in. It works, though there is some slight perspective distortion (far away objects seem closer than they are).

  • Send some of that rain Cali way - we need it!!

  • nothing like a good summer shower.

  • smoke break

  • lol! i have the vixia hv30. love it. but i also have a sonny i got in 2004. i put an adapter on it. it is pretty impressive, though the standard def is over.

  • bee here - I have an hv30, too! I'm sending my hv20 to Leigh tomorrow for some collabo stuff we have going on on this channel.

    Yeah, the adapter really takes these consumer cams to the next level and makes them way more "film like" (ugh).

  • mommie bought bobbie a new toy. wish we all had parents to pay for everything. oh well.

  • Looks good!

  • Damn i wish it was raining like that instead of this damn snow.

  • Holy balls, Batman!

  • i uploaded a 1080i dot mov file. took about 2 hours. took youtube 20 hours to approve it. good times.

    look decent though, in hd.

  • damn....so would u say its a good idea to buy an hv30? I'm buying a camera in a week...I have no camera exp but I want to maybe make some short films and stuff like that....what would be a decent camera under $1000?

  • Even though I have nothing to say, I feel the need to comment on your video.

  • hahahahha nice one
