Nice Video! If you want to see this cam in action...check out my page! All my music video were shot using this camera! Note that they all have been color corrected though. Overall the Sony HDR-CX500v is the best HD cam you can buy. point. blank. period. Also note, Youtube degrades the quality of this cam...the videos are much clearer on my computer before uploading to Youtube!
@olegahg Tanks for the reply, it is very obvious that you have not worked with a 35mm adapter before. It is impossible to use the camera to focus the 35mm adapter. The camera can only be focused on the ground glass, and that was my concern. When I said "focus it" I meant, "focus the camera".
@rainerfilm sorry, I don't understand why you are asking me how to focus the camera then. I did use a Jag35 adapter on it. I put the adapter on use cameras auto focus to focus on the screan and lock the focus. then I put 35 mm lens on and just use the it to focus.
@olegahg Remember, I have never touched this camera before, I did not know about the focusing wheel on the left side of the battery, that is why I asked how to focus the camera manually.
When I askes how to focus the camera, I was asking:
Are you using a focus wheel somewhere on the camera?
Is it a Digital focus that is done with the use of a scroll bar on the screen?
Is the focus fully automatic?
But still, you cant focus a 35mm adapter using the focus on the the camera.
the only thing is it takes a bit of time turning the dial up and down to focus on the object you want :/ do you know if their is a setting that might speed it up?
also i am not sure if you know but can we add and extra mics to it?

I have a 35mm adapter "SG blade", I want to buy this camera but I don't know how to manually focus it? Do you focus it on the screen?

Rainefilm, there is a small dial next to the lens, bur if you have an adapter you would just focus with your 35mm lens which is much easier
