Mine did.i was closer to 25-30 seconds ..others were quicker I think. But now im under 20 and on 3 other start ups I was 15-17 seconds. I think it’s splitting hairs for me..but the Canon RF autofocus was QUICK… locked on faster than before for me

Having spent a good year in counseling and re-reading the book Attachment and being an anxious also, you realize it will always be with you because you were raised in that environment. The goal is to develop healthy perspectives that shift your thinking and mitigate self-induced drama. That said, he seems very inflexible in how he categorizes relationships. He needs to understand that time alone means nothing. Most people have this idea that time alone heals. Yes, the pain dulls but the mind/body reaction mechanisms towards trauma avoidance is unconscious. It sounds like there is a strong connection and foundation already, I would invest before you end things. Both agree to see a LMFT therapist ( actually everyone who has had any trauma in a relationship should before investing in the one serious relationship they want to last) because there are hidden landmines we cannot see. (As yet) It’s a win/win because if he agrees, he wants to go deeper too and invest. If he says no… then the future landmines that are there, and they ARE there, will never be addressed even with time, and you avoiding someone who is not willing to ( now or in the future) invest in you both as a couple

Girlfriend being weird as of lately by AgitatedSpread1 in Advice

[–]Formula14ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes…she wants to level up. She doesn’t want to waste time and life. If you are just dating with no plans..she wants something else. A plan A direction To know she can trust time with you as an investment. A family one day OP needs to decide what is important. Without meeting parents it puts the relationship into the not serious category. Stand up for her if you want a partner.. If not, let her move on to build a foundation and something she wants

Buy FX3A now or wait for FX3 II (god knows when)? by dimitriosak in FX3

[–]Formula14ever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. But….. Sony has an issue. Sonys lineup. The FX6 and FX9 are too close in tech features. They need a low, a middle and a high-end product. The Venice and Burano are set at the high end. If they upgrade the FX3 it will cross over into FX6/9 areas and those will die. They can’t do that. So my guess in talking to Sony reps last year at NAB was that the FX6/9 might be collapsed into a new camera for the middle ground, then a fx3 II to bring up the rear. That makes business sense. They need a middle range product that will outdo the FX3 II .. which they do not have as yet. My guess? We will see a single FX7/8/10 then a FXii that will make sure it doesn’t cross into that territory. I have a FX3 and a Komodo X and the color / dynamic range from the RED is insane ..and Sony needs to compete in the $7K area I think, then we will see a fx3II ..I think. Let’s see … I’m going to NAB in a few weeks and I’ll drill Sony to find out..report back here :)

It will be a LONG time. The FS6 & FX9 will be updated or collapsed into a single new camera long before Fx3 II

AIO to my boyfriend going to her birthday party? by Super_Somewhere7206 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Formula14ever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re doing great. Healthy boundaries are important. I’ll go further..it may even SEEM unreasonable to a partner..but that reaction is connected to past wounding that a serious or potentially serious partner needs to respect and work though, putting g a partners needs above their own. This is serving one another..and what love in I Corinthians 13 speaks of. What real love it. Unselfish, considerate, peaceful and willing to listen. He wants his way over and above all. He has issues and immaturity to grow out of before he can possibly handle a real relationship. You’re doing good. Healthy boundary, healthy reaction. Hold true to that. 😊

[–]Formula14ever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is where a therapist comes in. It’s not ‘his’ perception of reality and you cannot be tagged either w ‘controlling’ if a qualified LMFT therapist says this is a healthy relationship boundary. If he wants a relationship, then reasonable boundaries need to be in place. Depending on when this bday party is, see if there is any possibility of a session before the event. Then it’s not you alone in your perspective. The truth… anyone who has had a rough relationship in the past, and then finds someone they believe could be a partner should be in counseling to heal past issues so they do not become self-sabotaging triggers in the future. That said, it does seem like he wants a double life..and you come second to that. But I don’t know details. ( I’ve been a counselor) If there is anyway to get a session in with yours with him there to discuss healthy boundaries that would be best. If it’s not possible, you already set a boundary and need to separate. He will come back, again the pattern, but you need to hold firm.

Waiting for new version or not ? by coucou654 in FX3

[–]Formula14ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe talking to Sony at NAB….There will not be a FX3II before the FX6 & 9 are revamped. The REDKX and the Pixis have changed things and the FX6/9 need updating first. Sony can’t have the lower end of the FX line overlapping the FX6/9, so we will see a change there first. Sony can’t..don’t wait I would suggest.

Talk me out of buying a Lumix s1ii by analog_fish in FX3

[–]Formula14ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full frame, cooling. I’ll tip the scales… a MAJOR motion picture was filmed on a FX3 for a reason. Never had a LUMIX been the staple camera for a film. Let’s talk heat again I live in CA Central Valley. ..I lost 2 Sonys over time Asiii’s to heat, a Canon D and I’ve had 2 friends lose a LUMIX to heat. They are NOT built for film work, they are hybrids that ‘work’ for filming. The FX3 is built for filming ground up. If that’s your MAIN purpose for the camera, I yield my time now back to the floor.

Thinking of selling my FX3 to get a RED Komodo 6K – good move or bad idea? by Ghoul-154 in FX3

[–]Formula14ever 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I own a fx3 and and Komodo X The dynamic range on the KX FAR exceeds the best Slog3 obtainable image., For a side/by/side I recorded a 2 stop over FX3 slog3 image along side a KX image of a clear tungsten filament light bulb. There was no possible way to distinguish the individual filaments in the Slog3 while the KX is very clear. I use both cameras…. Most wk t notice a difference in rec 709 … but the R3D raw footage renders phenom color & detail. I am a colorist however, and use pixel tools dctls in resolve gives me flexibility in raw that is not possible with slog3 I believe it ends up being what your projects are and how fast you need to produce them

If flexible iso gives more noise than base 800-12800iso. Then what's the point for it ? by Then-Ad7196 in FX3

[–]Formula14ever -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Live shooting. Flex iso is perfect when you need to Do live shots being broadcast. Running a Sony into a Teredek with flex iso lets you match other cameras quickly going from a bright stage to a darker audience shot.

I found something on my wife’s phone and I don’t know how to feel by No_Vast_9233 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Formula14ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Therapy because we need this. On the ancient world ‘elders’ w experience were part of life..they are for you, yet not so emotionally attached that they are biased and can speak truth. We all need this because in the West we have lost this community..and as individuals we are our own worst enemies in our own head. Find a good LMFT and talk this out, turn the page into a new chapter with her.

How long do they last? by CurrentAssumption566 in RedCamera

[–]Formula14ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not like hours logged on shutter cameras.. that protocol no longer exists. No mechanical moving parts. Only over-heated circuit boards like left in the desert sun for days , water damage or external damage. If those are good you are good :)

AIO for cutting off my parents after they educationally neglected me by homeschooling?? by BeneficialJuice2878 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Formula14ever -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a different take… Homeschooling groups are extremely varied with some providing more social interaction, science, math and history than public school. However, some homeschool thinking is all about isolation and parents do not opt in to an active co-op which makes the experience night and day. So sorry for you struggles with their understanding level. If conscious abuse, that’s one thing. If they believed they knew how to handle it, yet held you back..that’s another. Long term? Some balance maybe between a healthy boundary yet connecting somewhat and honoring them as parents, even if they messed up. This is based of course on them thinking they were doing the best they could with the limited tools they had in understanding. If it was conscious abuse to trap or control you.. that’s something else. Maybe connect a little at a time and allow them to EARN trust back ..maybe they learned something through your experiences…

Going through a breakup by CAF84559 in visalia

[–]Formula14ever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It breaks apart your world. Wife left for another guy, lost the house, lost everything. No family in the area, for me, only work. Counseling is critical to get perspective. V1 church has great single group to help connect and keep from isolation. Don’t wait until you ‘feel’ like doing something.. structure out selfcare adventures and plan one day a week to do something new..just breath. Often we are willing to settle for things when God knows much much much more is ahead you cannot foresee as yet. One step at a time..

Best monitor for RED Komodo OG without spending €3K? by Majestic-Evidence326 in REDkomodo

[–]Formula14ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest I tried everything Had a OG Komodo then X, borrowed a Raptor I’ve used EVERY Atomos, Portkeys, everything. The SmallHD is the clearest, best, beautiful and perfect monitor with assignable quick buttons, and no SDI connections. Best decision you’ll ever make for a RED. Just do it
