Renaud Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hi everybody, I have a big issue with my a7r3 concerning the video autofocus, specialy with my 18-105mm and 10-18mm lenses. I'm using face detection and I always get A LOT of hunting in the background. I tried with all the different autofocus setting and I never had this problem on my a6500. Here is an exemple of my problem, during an interview and a gimbal shot : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYXaCTpv-2s&feature=youtu.be anyone with the same problem ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Collins Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Yes it does look very much like Panasonic's CDAF based video focusing. I have never experienced the same with my A7r3 - sure it misses focus but it doesnt shimmer. Incidentally, were you recording proxies with the 4K?

Renaud Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 No I didn’t record proxy . I just tried another A7r3 at my camera store and we found out that the problem is only with apsc lenses . No hunting with full frame lenses. A little bit of hunting with full frame lenses on apsc mode too.. there are clearly a problem with apsc mode on this camera , I’m surprise to read nothing about it.

Don Kotlos Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Is it the apsc lenses or the apsc mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried the S35 mode with two full frame lenses and it looks fine. No hunting whatsoever. So it must be with the APSc lenses only or something with the settings.
