Hey, this is Scott of Photography Banzai.
In this video I'm going to do a quick
autofocus test with Nikon D750 and also the Canon EOS Rebel SL2 with the kit
lens. And then I have the 750 with the 50 millimeter f/1.8g. I don't have
any type of SDM style ends for the Nikon cameras, even though they are releasing a
few. But just a quick test to see how they focus with me as the subject. I
don't know, I hear the Nikon lens making a lot of
noise. So it's definitely doing something. But I'll move around a little bit and
see if it makes any difference.
So throughout this channel's lifespan so far I do a lot of gear stuff. I do a lot of
testing and figuring things out. The point really is just to learn the
equipment that I have, and try to use it as effectively as possible. That's the
main goal. And I put that out there for everyone else and hopefully it will help
them as well. But anyways I'm trying to learn this new
camera. Especially compared to my previous ones. And see how it works out.
I can obviously tell with the autofocus that makes really no noise that I can
discern. And that makes quite a bit of noise while it's doing the focus. So
we'll see if it actually works out or not. Here's how I set everything up for
the little test. I have the big strong tripod. The nice head on it. And this
Custom Brackets CB Mini. This is normally for a camera and a flash, but I was able
to use this little head here with a screw down on the bottom for the flash
usually. That attaches to the camera of course. Also this Bescor, I think it's
called, tripod. Has a tripod screw on the bottom of the legs. And it also has one
of course for the camera. And I used one of these Takstar microphones.
And I have it set up to work well with Canon at the moment, so I just routed
the actual signal into the Canon and it on top of the Nikon.
For reason the cold shoe mount on this mic didn't fit too well in the Nikon. So for
whatever reason I had to use a little adapter to quickly and easily attach it.
With the settings, I wanted around 50 millimeters equivalent for this. So I
went 35 and I also set f/5 and I set 6.3 on the Nikon. So there's a little
more closer look to the videos. They're both in face detect mode. Continuous
focus. I could really here the Nikon, I'm sure. But besides that it is older
technology. This is very new technology. So there is that difference of course...
Ahh, no issues really getting it set up. Pretty quick and easy. Look at the results and
see how they turned out. So that's pretty much it.
Hope you found this interesting. Gonna keep
learning and keep improving.
I'm Scott from Photography Banzai, thanks!
