Not sure if this is partly in response to my recent post where I show pictures taken at longer distance and diopters to show the difference in focus. But I have a few thoughts either way.
The same "load of problems" that can make photo tests vary can affect video as well (exposure, camera movement, subject distance, lighting, etc.). Also, photo mode is a feature of the camera, so why is it wrong to test focus in photo mode?
Seriously, you’re gonna argue the toss with a post that’s encouraging people to do the right thing to make a complaint about a problem. This is why any company that makes a defective product will carry on getting away with it. Because people like you would rather fragment the argument and make stupid points against what is essentially the same argument against a manufacturer, instead of concentrating the effort. Then again, this is a public forum……
As for what you’ve said.
No, this post wasn’t a response, partly or otherwise, to anything about what you’ve said, I don’t know what you’ve posted. However, I’ve just taken a quick look and in spite of what is known about the Action 3, you still ordered one anyway. Well, that speaks volumes. You made a couple of stills that copy a test that someone else has already done in video form. Again, that speaks volumes.
The many issues of taking stills from video and how they are done, has nothing to do with taking photos. Anyone with even the slightest of post experience will know this.
You say the Action 3 has a photo mode. I most certainly hope you didn’t buy an action cam to take photos. Although raising the point in the first place to justify a pointless exorcise and weak argument, again, speaks volumes.
You “suspect” that with video compression blah blah blah. Well, stop suspecting and start doing empirical analysis and understand the temporal difference not just between video recording and taking pictures but also the effects of temporal inter-frame redundancy with the video codec being used.
As for the rest of what you’ve said. I’m just as equally uninterested in that as well, seeing as there was absolutely no need what so ever for your response in the first place because all you’ve done is water down and distract from the point being made.
For anyone else who may read this post. Take it or leave it, either way it makes no difference to me as I don’t own an Action 3 and have no skin in this particular game. All I’ve done here is to give people a couple of ideas on how to concentrate focus of a particular complaint about a particular problem, more effectively.
If others would rather spend their time urinating in the wind, then fair enough but the only outcome of that exorcise is that you’ll end up wreaking of urine and your complaint becomes more diminished.
