SIGMA fp with LiDAR AUTOFOCUS SYSTEM NIGHT TIME /PDMOVIE LIVE AIR 3 SMART/ CinemaDNG 12bit RAW

[@PDMOVIE]

Looks really nice!

[@cozymovies]

Thank you!

Why doesn't the system focus to infinity if it can't detect any objects? There are numerous shots out of focus in this video for this reason.

[@cozymovies]

@@supergrammar Thank you for watching. This is what the PDMOVIE manual says: LiDAR's effective scanning distance is 4 meters and scanning angle is 28. If the range is exceeded, the motor enters a low-power mode and automatically moves the depth of field focus to a position about 5 meters away on the lens. If no object is detected within 5 seconds, the motor adjusts the depth of field focus to a position approximately 30 meters away on the lens and maintains it. When an object re-enters the scanning range, the motor immediately resumes normal autofocus mode from the low-power mode. In my experience, I felt that a wider-angle lens would reduce the sense of infinity and discomfort.

@@cozymovies Thanks for replying. Hopefully @PDMOVIE sees the comment too. I wonder if there is an option to have the device go to infinity if it doesn't detect an object within 5 meters

[@cozymovies]

@@supergrammar As far as I'm concerned, I don't think that option exists at the moment.

I am curious about SIGMA fp with LiDAR AUTOFOCUS SYSTEM settings, rig configuration, and PDMOVIE LIVE AIR 3 SMART autofocus setting method.

[@cozymovies]

Thank you for watching. Here is an image of the camera rig.　　kzbin.infoUgkxN9xRUdcya1G1zVO_Vq_2PnzOx3TbKMvt I think this will be helpful for how to set up autofocus.　　kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKm9gXmEjtCqfbM

[@곰곰-l1j]

@@cozymovies Thanks. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKm9gXmEjtCqfbM Do you always have to adjust and shoot for each lens or for each shot like in this link?

[@azerismo]

Wow that’s so cool! Does the camera allow you to capture full frame with dc lenses even with the vignetting? Thanks for your work 🙏🏻

[@cozymovies]

Thank you for watching. Yes, there is some vignetting, but it doesn't feel strange.

[@azerismo]

@@cozymovies Good to know, thank you very much!

[@badrigbaghdikian2635]

Very nice footage! Do you think that this interesting combination sigma fp + PDMovie LiDAR works better than a Panasonic S5 (II) without all this stuff? I am thinking of buying a LiDAR for my FP,.. .

[@cozymovies]

Thank you for watching. I don't own a Panasonic S5 (II), so I don't know much about focus accuracy. I think this sigma fp + PDMovie LiDAR is a system that has the potential to enjoy fp even more.

[@byroncos]

Any chanse to test it with the canon 24-105 f4?

[@cozymovies]

Thank you for watching. I don't own a Canon 24-105 f4, so I have no plans to test it at the moment.

[@ZacharyPawlowski]

do you find that it struggles focusing to infinity? - Very natural with the closer subject matter but appears to miss focus when panning into space

[@cozymovies]

Thank you for watching. This is what the PDMOVIE manual says: LiDAR's effective scanning distance is 4 meters and scanning angle is 28.

can you share a pic of this set up?

[@cozymovies]

[@c4burst]

Is it an issue of the focus ring doesnt have hard stops?

[@cozymovies]

Thank you for watching. Thank you for your comment. A hard stop is attached to the attached focus ring.

[@thisisAmitPatil]

Do you record at 30p and then slow it to 80% which is 24p?

[@cozymovies]

Thank you for watching. I'm shooting at 24fps. I don't slow down this video.

[@thisisAmitPatil]

@@cozymovies Ohh thanks I was curious because I've seen a trend of doing it like that, thanks again for clearing it. Ohh by the way love your work. I know nothing about Cameras but working with Sigma FP is quite Hard (as per Camera Experts) and everyone says It pays off.

[@fuleo2593]

so many noise in dark

[@cozymovies]

Thank you for watching. This video has not been subjected to noise reduction processing.
