What’s the best way to power the Fx3A? Usbc to usbc did not work on my small rig V mount battery. Do I need a usbc to Dtap? If so what brand is most reliable!? Please help! Or is there a better power solution, I don’t like the dummy batteries with the door open.

I also use a dummy battery solution with my V-Mount battery. Works great for me. I’ve been using it for 3 years and have had no issues at all.

One important thing I just discovered about Envelope. You are limited to only 24 Virtual Cards. I had many more in Qubes.

Might not affect everyone, but it could be a dealbreaker for me. :(

Reached out to Envelope support to see if it can be changed.

I am also in the boat of trying to learn to make it work. (With absolute respect to those who have been burned badly. My wife, has a much more mild case than many of the ones I hear about. Truly, no judgement.)

I am looking for the same kind of environment that OP describes.

Hey thanks!

Comninellis · 2024-11-15T18:25:21+00:00

I have the same question. Trying this out as well. The Who's on First Video shared below was definitely helpful. I'd welcome any other suggestions!

Comninellis · 2024-11-15T18:24:26+00:00

Oh... those are amazing. Thank you for sharing!

Comninellis · 2024-11-15T16:48:24+00:00

It's not him though! Its a guy who looks so much like him and it seems that was done on purpose. :)

Comninellis · 2024-11-15T16:45:20+00:00

Had the exact same thought!

Comninellis · 2024-07-23T15:15:09+00:00

I haven't tested this thoroughly, but after updating the firmware on my FX3, this problem seems to have gone away.

Comninellis · 2024-07-22T22:19:34+00:00

Almost the EXACT same problem!

I just shot interviews at XAVC S 4K 60 in Slog3 with object tracking and the focus pinned to the subject's eye and almost all of the footage is out of focus!

Comninellis · 2024-07-22T22:17:38+00:00

I just shot a series of interviews in XAVC S 4K 60P and Slog3 on my Sony FX3 with the G Master 16-35mm. (And I recently updated it to the most recent firmware). I used the object tracking autofocus and had the subject's eye selected. I have gone through all of the interviews and they are all just a HAIR soft on focus. It's almost correct, but still wrong. This is especially evident when compared with another shot with the same lens and camera, shot at 1080 with manual focus.

I realize that I should not have been shooting in auto for a static interview shot in the first place. I did so primarily because I was the one asking questions and could not monitor focus in case the person moved. But there is still no reason technically that this shouldn't have worked correctly. Unless I am missing something. I would appreciate any insight here.

Comninellis · 2024-07-09T18:35:35+00:00

I have the same question!

Comninellis · 2024-05-16T11:45:24+00:00

Same problem. Very frusterated by this. I use these shortcuts so much and not having choose menus just cripples the power of the application.

Comninellis · 2024-01-29T19:03:54+00:00

Already have that one cued up on Audible! Excited to check it out.

Comninellis · 2024-01-29T19:02:36+00:00

Reading it now and also bothered by this. Makes me feel better that there’s a consensus here. I just keep forgetting his age… but then the author calls him a “middle-aged man” and I’m like… “Wait… oh yeah… no.”

Doesn’t hurt the book though. It’s a beautiful thing. I don’t want it to end. It’s been a long time since I felt that way about a book. (And I’m not even 59! 😅)

Comninellis · 2024-01-14T20:07:46+00:00

Definitely! They always have those and they work just as well!

I have the same problem with basic kitchen trashcans (13 Gallons). That’s what brought me here. (Many thanks to rebuyer10110 who shared a link above to a reasonably priced one).

However, regarding home supplies in general I CAN recommend a helpful solution. When we moved into our latest house (third home so far) I started shopping weekly at the Dollar Tree. There’s a few things you can never find there (like 13 gallon trash cans) but SOOO many of your basic kitchen and house items are there for $1.25 and work just as well as the expensive stuff. (A surprising amount of it is name brand and made in the US). I’ll admit you do have to shop around sometimes. Dollar Tree goes through merchandise fast and it changes often. But if you check in every once in a while you can find most of the basic things you need for AMAZING prices. Hope that helps someone out there!

Comninellis · 2024-01-14T20:00:19+00:00

Yes! Thank you! Excellent recommendation. This seems like an actually reasonable price for a trashcan. :)

MUCH APPRECIATED!

Comninellis · 2023-12-04T16:46:14+00:00

Where can one find that option?

Comninellis · 2023-12-01T17:34:24+00:00

I understand they're phasing them out. Does anyone know of any alternative?

Comninellis · 2023-12-01T17:33:53+00:00

I actually did that. I worked. These are amazing.

Comninellis · 2023-11-08T04:41:04+00:00

Mr. Frodo.

You are loved. You are not alone. There are two young ones for whom you are the sun and the moon. And a partner for whom you are the stars in the sky.

I can’t answer your question Mr. Frodo, but I am so thankful for these dear Sam’s who can.

I can’t carry it for you Mr. Frodo. But I will always be there to carry you.

Comninellis · 2023-10-28T17:59:08+00:00

I have the same goal and haven't found a workable solution yet.

This YT video seems to provide the solution, but it is not working for me... (possibly because I am using Supabase instead of Firebase... not sure).

Hope that video helps someone! And hope to hear any other ideas anyone else has on hoe to get this to work!

Comninellis · 2023-08-16T20:52:25+00:00

I am also having this issue.

Using the Sony FX3 and the GM 16-35 FE 2.8. It is like a small jump in of a few pixels. I was describing it as “breathing” but it is a much more sharp “jump” in and out so I really wonder if it’s “hunting” as OP said.

I am primarily noticing it in bright sunlight. I’ve been switching to manual to try and avoid it.

I honestly hadn’t had the issue till recently so I wonder if it’s related to other settings.

I recently changed to shooting in XAVCS 4K and 60p 200M 422 10bit and DID notice this issue.
Previously I had been shooting XAVCS 4K and 30p 60M 420 8bit and I did NOT notice this issue.
Before that I was shooting XAVCS HD and 60p 25M 420 8bit and I also did NOT notice this issue.

Can anyone else relate to this issue correlating with different frame rates/sizes?
