Sony ZV-E10 autofocus problem in mp4 output


Recommended Posts

I recorded a theatre performance two days ago. Most of the recording was fine but in a part of it there was one person performing with a photo collage on a screen background and also a map in another section of the recording. This resulted in zooming in and out on these parts of the performance. The problem is similar but worse than this one: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8259180?sortBy=best

I really don't know how to correct the sections of the mp4 output file of this recording. This problem is shown in the link below. I believe Intelligent Auto or Background Defocus (Defocus and not Clear) was the root cause of this problem.

I normally use DaVinci Resolve for post processing, but I could not find a function in the software to fix this.

Many thanks for any advice.

I don't think it would have been the background de-focus. More likely to be the camera trying to focus on things in the background.

I'm not familiar with this camera, but can you set the tracking to locked-on so it sticks to the performer and ignores the background?

This is what I should have done...

The recording of the dress rehearsal was fine and the camera was positioned closer to the stage but I was unable to monitor the camera properly during the show.

I feel really stuck with this problem now and I'm trying to correct it in Davinci Resolve but don't know how to do it.

    • Why not get an a-mount camera -- with the features you want?  There are lots to choose from.  Most are APS format, but there were four that are full-frame format.  To use a-mount lenses on e-mount cameras you need an adapter that depends on your a-mount lenses and e-mount camera.  They are not cheap, and can have limitations.  You can avoid all that by sticking to a-mount cameras -- which are usually inexpensive.  So are a-mount lenses!   Here's a list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sony_A-mount_cameras
    • Hi all, first time poster.  I am getting back into photography and have chosen to stick with sony, I have a pretty old Sony A100 alpha on the A mount, I have a couple of lenses that are all AF enabled, a small 28-70 sony kit lens and a telefoto Minolta, so my thought was to get an a6000 body, and use A to E adapter to make use of the glass. Is this advisable? Will I get clear crisp imagines in this manner, I can't imagine these lenses would be classed as "too old" or would they?  I'm trying to keep the initial cost down whilst I get back into things, after this i would be happy to spend a bit more.  Happy for any advice or correct me if my thinking is wrong. Is the A6000 a decent place to begin? I also considered the A77 mk2, which has the A mount. To add, my style of photography is mainly just portraits, family time photography, and some outdoor street stuff from time to time.  Thanks!
