I know it’s common to test a camera like this on action-sports but I think the camera is actually much more likely to appeal mostly to the tabletop niche. 95% of what high speed cameras are used for. I’d love to see tests in those type of studio lit scenarios 😊
Super helpful Matt! Can you speak further to the flicker in the stadium? Was it non existent? Or not present because of the amount of daylight there? Thank you!
The stadium lights didn't flicker even as it got darker at halftime. I'm not sure if that would be true for all stadium lights, as it's probably dependent on the type of lighting they have.
It varies since I use the physical aperture ring on the lens to get correct exposure with the Ember. In a controlled lighting environment I'd probably be at T3 or 5.6.
nice video but why did the Sony emount not worked with manua focus? want to rent a ember with the Sony 200-600mm 5.6f-6.3F lens. Does the aputure change during the zoom and will be back at 5.6F when I am on 200mm? is it possible for you to test that?
All Sony G and GM lenses use electric contacts to communicate with the camera. The Ember doesn't have electric contacts. So focus doesn't work even in manual mode. You have to use a cinema lens with the Ember.
1) Does the camera works with 180 shutter angle? or do you have to set the S.S manually ? 2)only manual cine lenses would work with the camera ? Or can i use any of my Sony lenses ? I have various PL cine lenses, but would be nice to use one of sony G zoom lenses. is that possible?
Yes the camera has shutter angle. The Sony G and GM lenses won't work since they have the contacts I talked about in the video. I tried all of my Sony lenses and none of them will focus because even when switched to manual focus they still use those electric contacts. I do think there is a Sony E to PL adapter you can get so you can use those cine lenses.
No it doesn't. There are no electric contacts between the camera and lens. But shooting that many frames per second, you only need like one second to be in focus and you can stretch it out to like 20 seconds!
