Very nice 720/60P footage

No sweat Martti, I'm eager to see your next stuff. I thought for run and gun night shots you did a pretty good job. I'm not sure everyone is using the zoom focus assist though. I'm just jealous that I have to wait to get my hands on one. :)
 
You gonna love it I'm sure. It's by no means perfect but for me it has put the fun back into phuntography. I mean it. Really really mean it. It's...

FUN! FUN! FUN!

Now if I only wasn't so loaded down with the last-work-before-summer-mmmkay so I actually had some time to use it properly. Damn these pesky clients! Damn their eyes.

(In case any client wonders what I'm doing I'm dropping by here and posts silliness while AE renders on the work horse)

This is a pretty critical issue and I've too noticed the amount of out of focus footage floating around. I just saw this piece which is in pretty sharp focus.

I'm hoping that the large number of out of focus shots is just people who haven't read the manual or are being sloppy.

Saw that last night, very good for just grabbing while walking the dog........ The Digital zoom assist is a great feature. I hear the VF is sharp as hell as it was on the G1; so in combination, they must work really well.....

It was only a few days later I found that one can use the zoom focus assist with manual lenses to check focus points so I was using the EVF only in full image mode that night.

Can you? How?
I just got my Canon FD adaptor last night and suddenly realised that the automatic zoom assist doesn't work (makes sense as how does the camera know you're focussing).
If there's a way to do it manually that's great!
 
Press left key on the 'joystick pad' - yellow frame appears - click 'OK' - switch zoom factor with front scroll wheel - click wheel or 'OK' to get back to normal.
Cool thing is that you can move the yellow frame with joystick pad left-right-up-down before clicking OK so you can check focus from non-centered things if you have the camera locked down on a tripod.
 
so the display doesn't have peaking then? it's the best way to judge focus imo, even the simplest implementation even though colored outlines are even better. with peaking you can easily judge focus even on a tiny 320x240 pixel 2" screen. i used to hang out in the hv20 forums and a lot of people were researching hd monitors to focus and hadn't even tried turning on the peaking, what a waste.

That's because you couldn't use the peaking and zebra functions at the same time. For me zebras was more important.
 
that's a valid reason, but most people didn't know how to use that either. why spend 10 minutes to learn when you can spend $1,000 and a couple of weeks mounting a 15" diy monitor on your camera? :-)
