Most grateful if anyone has experience of shooting 1080i and outputting via HDMI to an external recorder. 

The objective is to record to ProRes 422 or DNX120, then ingest into EVS and then play inserts into pre-game coverage of live sport TV broadcast.

Recording 1080i on a full frame sensor is the preferred route rather than on Super 35/APSC cropped. This to give minimal depth of field so as to lose the background. Hence the requirement for Sony continuous eye AF in video mode.

A recent YT video suggests that its best to shoot on Super 35 on the A7Siii rather than FF which detracts from the shallow DOF objective.

Very much appreciate your thoughts on whether I can achieve high quality 1080i when recording full frame on these cameras and which would produce the better results.  

Furthermore has anyone shot HD 1080i video in indoor sports venues with LED boards behind and might the variable shutter on the A7iv be useful in case of tricky flicker issues?

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.

      Sony a6300 after shutter repair

      By dev001 · Posted

      Hi, I have got a6300 which shutter stopped working. I managed to change shutter but unfortunatelly broke shutter motor tape but I fixed that. After repair the shutter is working but not in a proper way, watch with sound. I bought the second shutter and tried to test it before dissaembling again and it doesn't react to magnet but it works fine when I apply 3V. Are there different type of shutter for a6000 - a6400? Back to the question what is wrong with my shutter after first repair? I don't want to put next shutter unfoundedly. Do your sony cameras perform such a self-check after start up?  IMG_5579 (1).webm
