Re: Sony EX1 Severe LongGop Problems

I have just taken my EX1 out to the backyard and filmed grass close-up, with different shutter speeds and different panning speeds.

At 1080 24p, at 48th of a second shutter speed, when panning, I did get a blur, which is expected (in fact, you want that blur to give the motion smoothness instead of a strobing quality), and at that shutter speed I didn't see any individual frames that were sharper than others (i.e., key frames).

At 1000th or 2000th of a second shutter speed, each frame was equally sharp and not blurred -- I couldn't replicate what you are describing. Each individual frame was sharp and there were no frames that looked sharper than other frames (key frames).

Admittedly I was looking at the images on my Mac screen, full frame (not projected using an HD projector). But, given what you describe, I would think that if the image were to be out of focus it would be noticeable on the Mac full screen.

It would be interesting if others were to try this experiment as well.
