Thank you for your reply Ryan, much appreciated. I have a fast Mac Pro and I suppose if it’s fast enough to convert to Prores, my drives should be able to support the speed. What software should I use then?

What about if it’s just for monitoring, what would you recommend?

Thx!

Yes yes I know all this, I explained before hand that I will manual focus when I need it, but for some other stuff, autofocus is acceptable but just needed to know how to do it, not get a lesson on if this was a good idea or not 🙂
Anyway thx

OK well already found a pretty interesting solution right here:

You can autofocus while shooting. You just need to edit out the parts where the camera searches for focus but that’s not so bad!

Thx Warren,
Why are you discarding the “AF-ON” button, which does find focus even while filming? Of course you have to edit out the part where it’s trying to find focus, but that is still some kind of autofocus during shooting, isn’t it?

Your input is so useful man thank you.
I understand what you mean. A lot to control for only 2 hands… especially with 3 cameras.

How about if the camera is on autofocus though? Once all the other settings are made (iris shutter speed etc…), the only thing you would need to control is the zoom, and pan/tilt on the robot head remote… Doesn’t that sound feasible to you?

Hey Vince,

Thank you for your feedback,
Do you have experience in PTZ cameras yourself? I always had the impression that these cameras had a way lower image “beauty”/quality than for example DSLR cameras… Like aren’t they more often used for conferences, meetings etc… but not necessarily for shooting good looking video content in studio… I mean at least the 3500$ range ones…?
That’s why I was trying to figure out an equivalent system but using controlable DSLR camera/lens and head… 😮
