HPX300 with Fujinon HTs 18x4.2 BRM-EExcessive breathing on focus

	HPX300 with Fujinon HTs 18x4.2 BRM-EExcessive breathing on focus by Harry Rabin on Aug 31, 2009 at 5:10:02 pm According to Fujifilm:Focus Breathing Compensation In most lenses when the focus is operated, the angular field of view changes much like zooming. This is called the zooming effect of focus, or "breathing." Utilizing digital control technology, Fujinon has solved this problem by enabling the angular field of view to remain constant by synchronizing the zoom movement to the focus movement, thus reducing image size change when focusing. Well I see excessive breathing still happening on my HPX300 with this Lens. What's up here? www.seamusic.com Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

As far as I know it's a higher-end feature. The $8k lens on my HPX-500 doesn't compensate for breathing (and I wish it did) but then it's not a high end lens either. - - - Video Photographer / Avid & Final Cut Editor Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: HPX300 with Fujinon HTs 18x4.2 BREM-Excessive breathing on focus by Adam Smith on Sep 1, 2009 at 4:25:23 am Hmm. Does your lens have an interface (on the handgrip, not in the camera) where you might possibly need to enable the feature? - - - Video Photographer / Avid & Final Cut Editor Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: HPX300 with Fujinon HTs 18x4.2 BREM-Excessive breathing on focus by Harry Rabin on Sep 1, 2009 at 4:50:22 am Just Auto Iris and Auto Zoom and the good old 8 pin interface. I actually sent an eMail to Fujitsu to explain it. So I'll post their reply as soon as I get one. www.seamusic.com Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index
