Hi:
I shot this video on the 4th of July with a AF100A, and the 14-140mm 4.5f lens (the old one).
https://vimeo.com/69766172
I used a DVTECH, bought here from a member on Dvxuser. It was a great bargain and far easier to use than the Zacuto Fe NG I had before.
While the lens worked great most of the time, even with auto focusing, I did have some problems with exposure and focusing close up. Every time I went for the zoomed in look, I couldn't get the camera to focus until I frantically turned the focus ring many many times. Of course, the shot was gone by the time I got things focused and steadied myself!
Over all I am very pleased with the AF100A. I have the Scene set on the Canon Mk11 settings I got from Abel Cine and I am pleased with the result. Even the this older Panny Lens was great for doing an outside event, except for the close up zooms. I am anxiously awaiting the new one in the fall.
Second issue
In FCP X I went through and made sure I didn't have any peaks over 100% and uploaded the video to Vimeo, but low and behold the video looks too dark on the whole, and the one slightly over exposed shot in the video looks good on Vimeo! So what are the secret settings for Vimeo to make your videos look good here?
