Re: Action Cam on your A5

It appears to me that the lens is set to infinity (a very small apeture in camera terms) so just about everything is in focus from an inch away from it to 200 feet away from it. You do see glitches in contrast when you move from a bright to dark areas within the camera's view. It takes a second for the ATC2K to re-adjust.

Re: Action Cam on your A5

hmmmm. I still haven't been able to understand how a camera can be set to infinity. But at least it solves that problem!

The smaller the aperture (iris of the lens), the greater your depth of field. So a very small aperture will yield a very large depth of field. There will always be a distance from the lens at which it is sharpest and everything before and after this point will get progressively softer (focus wise).

The infinity setting is just the point of a lens where everything is relatively in focus.

I have a very similar setup.(diffrent mask) but it does makes it woble a little bit when you run, but its not as bad as you would think by looking at it. You do need to becarefull when diving, as ive had my mask slip down around my neck once. Its not terrible but its very hard to get the camera pointed in the right direction for good video, as there is no way to adjust the camera other than craming pencils or other misc stuff into change the angle.

Understood now. Thanks!

Two cams, Final Cut Pro and a good audio track should make for an awesome video
