Stuttering/Choppy Pan with A7S


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

 

I just had my first shoot yesterday with the A7S and the images look great but I've had an issue with my pans. Most of them (fast and slow and very slow) seem to be a choppy.

 

Here are the settings I was using:

 

Cine4

 

25fps 50M XAVC S at Shutter 1/50

 

or 50fps at 1/100

 

Photodiox adaptor with canon 18-135 IS and Canon 50mm 1.8 - I also tried with my pentax 35mm.

 

SD card is a Sony U3, 64gb, reading 94mb/s. Write speed 60mb/s

 

I did some tries with the slow shutter option on and off but it didn't change anything.

 

I also went out and ran a quick test this morning, which I posted to this link:

 

 code: guru

 

The footage is choppy on camera screen, on VLC, on my fcp timeline so I don't think it has much to do with computer power.

 

Tripod is a manfrotto video tripod, pretty smooth.

 

I have another shoot coming and I cannot do without pans so I'm really looking forward to you advice!

 

Thanks a lot

 

Vincent

Hi there. I also have this problem. I just filmed 2 weddings (where I really see how it works every camera) and the footage looks so cheap, like filming with a phone or anything. I´m really thinking in selling. I shoot in 24fps as usual. In my canon 7d I really got a cinema style, fluid images but in the sony.. pfff.. I´m really disappointed. I don´t what to do.
