Awesome! I gather you just rotate the filter to change the amount? How did you settle on that Fotasy?

Hi all, I'm thinking about getting an ND filter to use with the original 18-200 lens -- I've never tried using an ND filter before, so I'd be grateful for a "reality check" -- here's why I'm...

I've managed to get more info, thought somebody might be interested... I had previously read that the NEX's 60i video was actually 30p in a 60i wrapper ("progressive segmented frame"). But from...

And what about plain old "superglue"? I saw somebody say he used that -- but superglue spooks me, and I've seen it melt plastics at some point or another.

(sorry to bump, would love to hear what any video-savvy folks here might think...)

Hi all, From what I've read here, the NEX's 60i video is actually 30p video in a 60i wrapper. I just tried some tests (with an NEX7) and noticed something odd. With the shutter set to 1/30 or 1/40...

fwiw, I just tried a simple test with aggressive panning -- and a 1/30 shutter for 24p does look lots smoother as compared to using a 1/50 shutter. I kind of wonder if people use the half-speed...

Hi all, I've seen the same advice many times: set your shutter speed to roughly half your frame rate. So, typically, that would mean using 1/50 sec shutter for 24p, and 1/60 for 30p. My...

I'd be very surprised if they keep fixing it -- that said, it hadn't even occurred to me to ask, and I'll be sure to ask them first before I break out the glue. An assuming that at some point they...

fwiw, I tried experimenting with a DIY automatic-gain-control defeat -- mixing in a loud high-frequency signal (inaudible) -- I imagine those hardware devices must do something similar -- but it...

Hi all, I've already had my NEX7 grip repaired once under warranty -- and I'm expecting it'll come loose again (with the camera no longer under warranty). I'm hoping to perform a DIY fix as soon as...

Thanks all, I'm mostly trying to record a home music setup (keyboard, mic) -- and so I want to capture 'pure audio' from the mixer, rather than use an external mic attached to the NEX7. I had hoped...

Hi all, I have a NEX7, and I'm trying to shoot video with the NEX and capture separate audio on my PC (running Ableton Live). I'm doing this because the on-board audio is very noisy due to the...

Mine was replaced under warranty. But I assume it'll happen again -- and next time won't likely be covered (just 1 year, right?). What's the best kind of glue to use for a DIY repair?

I especially like the 24Z for lower-light situations. For example, if I expect to be indoors or out at night, having a fast lens is a huge improvement.

Unfortunately, no Photoshop. So I gather the HDR plug-in doesn't somehow sit as a sort of "inline process" in Lightroom -- meaning, following the whole non-destructive and no-need-for-extra-files...

Thanks, I guess what I mean is: Is it possible to "route" the RAW images, with Lightroom develop processing, into an HDR plug-in within Lightroom -- without having to render interim files. See what...

Hi all, I have an NEX7, and I tend to shoot RAW in one of the PASM modes. I seldom use the AutoHDR feature (perhaps mostly because it's a bit cumbersome to switch to JPG, then find AutoHDR, then...

Peaking isn't disabled (at least not on my NEX7). I also just checked both regular focus-assist (by turning the focus ring) and first pressing the Function button, and then turning the focus ring...

About a week ago I posted about how I configured my NEX7: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3457504 And I think at least one detail might be useful to you -- you can kind of get the opposite...
