Sony Alpha NEX-5 - A guide for filmmakers

Off the back of a short film shot by Adam Roberts shot on a Sony Alpha NEX-5, Sony asked him to produce a few tutorials for people new to film making.

This video covers on how the camera was set-up and some of his workflow.

@antibiootti did you upgrade the firmware??

[RaimoneTV]

I like it

[antibiootti]

I dont have soft key settings on my sony a nex 5. why?

Like the video. I'm considering buying a Nex-5n for shooting small film projects.

I've read about overheating issues...

Have you ever found this to be a limitation during your shoots or was it reliable enough? I'm told if you turn of Lens correction and CA correction than the camera does not overheat. Is this true?

Rolling Shutter: Are there settings you used to help reduce this in camera, or did you just fix wobble in post?

Clicking issue: With an external recorder is it audible?

@AdmanRob thx for the reply, i iknow that its not the same camera,but i dont have the same features as the nex-5 ,like hotkeys

[AdmanRob]

@naorhamagniv NEX-5 and NEX-5n are different cameras. The NEX-5n firmware is currently ver 1. It already has all the functions in NEX-5 firmware ver 4 and more.

[naorhamagniv]

so i go the nex 5n and i cant update the firmware to ver.3 or 4!

how do i update!??

@alexcbu all depends on what you want to do. I also have an adaptor for old Olympus manual focus lenses that cost my just £20. You could also shoot with the lens in the kit.
