Hi!

 

Me and my girlfriend have just started recording some videos for youtube and are currently using the sony a5100 camera.

 

To extend the recording time and to get a second monitor i´ve been looking at a atomos ninja 2. But i got some questions regarding the functionality when using an external recorder.

 

Our setup looks like this: She is sitting at a desk in front of the camera with an ipad connected via playmemories remote that she uses as a monitor to be able to see herself while we are recordning, and i sit some feet back, watching the cameras built in screen.

 

We really enjoy the cameras bulit in skin smoothing filter, wich really prooved to be useful.

 

If i get the atomos ninja external recorder, is it still possible to use the playmemories remote app on the ipad at the same time as the atomos ninja, and vill the skin smoothing still work? Or will all of the recorded material be processed in the external recorder and therefore not get the smoothing effect?

 

Will the screen on the camera itself turn off or will it work as a 3rd monitor?

 

Thank you in advance!

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.

      Well this! Thank you! I have been following suggestion after suggestion for the past 3 hours with my a7CR and never thought of removing the battery. Magic!

      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.
