Sony FS5 - Sony SELP18105G problem

[Danilo Del Tufo]

Hi guys, someone tested the FS5 lens, the Sony 18-105, you can watch there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGsUnHur3WU
It shows a problem during zoom at center of the frame, a sort of pulsating image that expands and contracts rhythmically.
Anyone else has noticed this problem? It seems that it's in every lenses (it's not a defective lens) and when it's enabled the lens correction in the menu.

that is weird. the title says Sony 10-105. maybe they meant the 18-105? hard to say but it is weird still. there isn't really any info on this clip nor its description to know if its even the FS5.

Just so this thread doesn't devolve into paranoia about the lens, the Sony FS5's lens correction is theoretically designed to eliminate this problem. Also, a firmware update was added to the FS700 almost a year ago to solve this issue, so the video posted above is no longer a valid critique, according to the internet research I've done. I'll be interested to learn if the creators of the first video in this thread did, in fact, have the lens correction in the camera turned on.

Yes (in the first video I've posted) he has the lens correction enabled on FS7, when is disabled the problem disappear but then there are distortions of the lens.
