Canon 50mm f/1.8 STM Autofocus Noise Test on Canon SL2 (2018)

[@MOONGOONJOON]

THIS is the video I have been looking for. Thanks dude

[@Введітьназву-ю3и]

Знаю, что вы вряд-ли поймёте меня. Но ваше видео меня успокоило, думал мой объектив сломан)

[@freem1ke]

Great! Thanks a lot. I'm searching for this.

[@SuchetB]

Great video and really useful as I wanted to find out about how much noise this lens creates for when I record movie footage.

[@RyanJayShot]

Most of my short films were shot with this lens. It is awesome even though it is cheap. Nice review.

[@Yshodhan]

I was looking for this video...thanks

[@LawrenceMeisel]

It would be helpful to export the audio to a wav file and import it into audacity to look at the different waveforms. Personally, I could not hear any sound from either of the tests while listening on my Chromebook. I think that for the common KZbin viewer watching on a laptop or even a desktop with typical speakers autofocus noise will not be an issue with the Canon STM lenses.

[@TheXaminedLife]

So how far back did you have to move the camera to get a decently framed shot.

[@seanv4735]

Strange that an STM lens would be that noisy.

[@georgevsproduct3123]

yeah i was surprised too, but if you watch my other video on the 24 f2.8 stm, it's only a little better...

[@inderkamboj13]

On dot man...very very resourceful video...thank you

[@georgevsproduct3123]

thank you sir!

[@inchix03]

Nice review. Thanks

[@אמיתיליבוביץ]

do you think the noise will be a problem when shooting with external mic?

[@markerasga]

Where do you buy the long cord?

[@georgevsproduct3123]

amazon!

[@omarabdelrazik384]

That really helped. Thank you :))

[@georgevsproduct3123]

Glad to hear it!

[@ruprajtajve]

Hi.....in your video when you took your hand near it took time to focus, but focussed quickly at the background. Why? And what is the minimum distance you should stand from the lens?

[@georgevsproduct3123]

im not sure, sometimes the lens is fast, sometimes its pretty slow

[@brunoscarazzati]

Hello George, how are you? Great video and great test, I went to youtube to see if my lenses were defective, 50mm and at 24mm the test you did left me calm and I saw that it is normal. Great test and great video :) Keep recording more videos. Wouldn't STM have to be a silent focus? Do you know why the 18-55mm 4-5.6 does not make any noise in the focus? I also did not find any noise in the 10-18mm and 55-250mm Thank you \o/

[@gilcarvalho5332]

Hi George! Great video! By the way, can you explain how you edited your audio, because I have the same camera and the same microphone and made the same setup and, honestly, I couldn't get the same audio quality! I will be immensely grateful if you answer my question. Thanks

[@georgevsproduct3123]

hi gil, sorry for the late answer haha, i haven't had the motivation to upload anything. check out my how to get better audio video. there i explain how i do it! thanks for the comment.

[@gilcarvalho5332]

@@georgevsproduct3123 Thank you for your attention!

[@Irradiated44]

Hi! What if the lens is using adapter for EOS M? Does that affect the noise production?

[@Cpt_zheng]

I don't think so. The noise is caused by the lens itself, so an adapter won't change much.

[@georgevsproduct3123]

I don't have a canon mirrorless so I can't say for sure, butI believe @Cpt_Zheng is right.

[@williamfraser3675]

Nice one bro. very informative video. It really helps in making my next move. I own the SL2 as well and i own the 24mm lens and i'm planning in getting the 50mm lens which i'm gonna get soon. U will grow fast in the game uz u very good at it. Thanks for the heads up and u've just got a new sub from me. Godspeed

[@xplode225]

Is there a way we can have it have no noise, but make it focus and bokeh at the same time?

[@georgevsproduct3123]

I'd recommend using a lav mic or how I sort of boom it closer.

[@xplode225]

@@georgevsproduct3123 how much are those?

[@gtamediaproductions1]

It's noisy like mine. Sounds like a robot walking.

[@enoshyeluchuri]

Very silent lens. I couldn't hear any lens noise

[@enoshyeluchuri]

@@georgevsproduct3123 very minimal

[@ranggaalr]

i bought it for videography and the autofocus is so loud, dont recommend it for video

[@ranggaalr]

i also used rode video micro for mic and the sound is still there, any idea what's wrong?

[@squirrelosopher]

Did you actually buy a STM version?

[@ranggaalr]

@@squirrelosopher yes of course

[@georgevsproduct3123]

if you boom it future away, it gets A LOT quieter. the idea is to get your audio pick up as far away from your lens as possible. a lav mic would also work very well.
