Picture This #1 - Auto-Flush

It's been a really long while and I've finally freed my hands off Skyrim! At least I think I did...

ANYWAYS, Please take a look at the latest and very first upload on my YouTube Channel (www.youtube.com/orhcehfilem)
Picture This is a commentary series about different things that get on my (and hopefully yours as well) nerves.

Got something that gets on your nerves? Why not share it?

X'mas Decorations @ Orchard Road - 02/12/11

Hey guys,

Just sharing some clips which I took whilst walking around Orchard Road.
It was an impromptu thing, so I didn't have any tripods or whatsoever haha

SONY A77 AF on video S mode

Yes yes, I know... Almost a month of no activity and the first thing that I blog about is some geeky tech shit. So what? I'm really excited about this one!

So anyways, I've managed to get the SONY a77 DSLT to run it's video S mode with autofocus.

This unlocks a few windows of possibilities since the official release mentions that AF was not supposed to happen for A, S and M modes.

Let me know what you think.

Personally it's exciting, yet scary at the same time. With the knowledge of an upcoming firmware update (got that rumor from sonyalpharumors.com), this could either mean that the video AF get implemented or on the horror spectrum, removed!

Nature has plans for you

So my bro wasn't feeling well and I had to get food for him on my way back.

"pork porridge" he says.

And pork porridge I got. But I sure didn't order this!

Worst part of it is that the rain got lighter the moment I decided to take a bus back...

SONY Alpha 77 Video Test

   
Have been a lil' busy because of the mid-terms, which is still on-going by the way.

Anyways, I've recently bought a new camera!!! And yes, that would be the greatly anticipated SONY SLT-A77.

So basically what's so cool about this is that aside from the option for you to do videos with full control of your aperture and/or shutter speed, you can also choose to go for a full auto mode which allows you to shoot with a constant phase detection autofocus (google: Phase detection vs Contrast)

Been trying out the video capabilities of the camera for a while already and I must say, I love it! Here's a quick run-down:

1. Continuous AF

While it can be a lil' tricky to get used to. It is pretty useful once you get the hang of it. Best used when you have centralized action and wanna maintain your focus on it. There's a tracking option as well.

2. Picture effects

Most awesome would be the fact that I can throw in a picture effect ie Toy Camera and the resulting images look very much like it has gone through a quick round of post processing! Just check out 2:30 onwards and you'll see what I mean.

3. Stabilization

Being an in body stabilizer, I benefit from it regardless of the lens that I have on. This, paired with the DIY Fig Rig that I've built, creates a pretty useful setup for 'handheld' shots.

If there's anything you'd like to know regarding the camera, feel free to drop a comment and I'll try to test it out for ya.
