stereo imaging feature? anyone know exactly how this works? Is it simply a panning adjustment? phase adjustment? modulation? delay?

It's a not panning adjustment. It's a left right mix from mono to full stereo separation at halfway followed by a depth / spacalizer from half way to full. I would suggest downloading the manual for better explanation.

I cannot find any thing in the Camera manual which describes this function.

Has anyone figured out if reversing the focus direction is possible yet? It is currently counterintuitive with my setup (rotating the top of the knob away, focuses closer, but it would be intuitive for this to focus further). Thanks!

Hi personally it did not work for me. The camera becomes set back so far as a result of the mounting that focussing is a problem. For me other than macro work it was not suitable and certainly not as all round useful as I understood it to be. I returned mine for a refund

I also took a good look at the controls, and see no evidence of aperture/f-stop controls. As has been mentioned by others, you can adjust ISO and EV. If your goal is to change the depth of field, that's not very useful. The only options I can think of are to try the Background Defocus mode, or use software after the fact to change your depth of field. I don't currently have Photoshop, but I'd imagine it does a fine job of defocus. I do sometimes use Pixlr Express on Android. It does a nice job with background blur, very adjustable. Good luck!

alan's post is it in a nutshell. i have a zoom q3 that i record on a grand piano with, and the lack of at least a fixed "mid-gain" is the biggest drawback to the device. their new HD version doesn't address it either. too bad, because it is a nice little unit for the money.

Can anyone give an emphasized answer? I am looking at buying another camera as well and my wife and I were both wondering this. Based on Diana's answer, it seems that when it switches from one camera to the other using the scan feature (8 seconds or 8 minutes?), the audio switches. Can anyone confirm this?

when modelling mode is on, stroboscopic flash will emit while you push down DOP preview button on your camera that you can use as a "modeling light" on your subject while composing the photo. I find the feature pretty useless...unless you're into photographing your subjects having seizures. Note that there is a separate AF assist beam and that the modelling mode is not an AF assist system. Ostensibly it might help with manual focus, although it practice that would be ergonomically challenging given that you need to be pressing the DOP Prev. button.

I didn't know it was supposed to have barrel distortion, but I'd think this would be an optical thing about the lens. I wouldn't think it would matter what camera the lens was on. Haven't noticed chromatic problems but I suppose it must be there. Hope somebody can help you more exactly.

Hello. Sorry to report that it DOESN'T have focus peaking. Perhaps they can include it in a future firmware version.

John,The first one I bought from here did not have that feature. I exchanged it with Photodiox directly and the adapter did adjust aperture. It is unclear to me how to get the "right" adaptor on the first try....Cheers.

It has an adjustment for everything!!! There are several adjustments for F stops, aperture, etc.

can set it by just touching the control before taking the picture and after taking a photo can use it again when reviewing a photo you have taken. For example, I used the zoom while taking photos at Worlds End, PA and when reviewing photos used it again on a photo I was looking at and discovered that were 3 actual people in a creek that I had no idea were there when taking the photo.........felt like a real paparazzi!!

You can set the aperture on-camera. Sorry no one answered your question. I didn't see it till just now.

None at all on my M- it is a bit slow in the focus- but when I combined it with a short loupe to act as a viewfinder it became handy. Mine works perfectly except for the focussing time. VRR

Thanks for the info Corey! I agree that zooming during recording can get a bit nauseating if done too much/too fast but it is a nice feature to have in certain instances. At least the zoom works before/after like it does on my old 3.2MP Cyber-shot. Thanks for clearing that up.

It may be due to the two-mirror design that lets light hit both the imaging sensor for live view and the AF array simultaneously. Probably the image displayed in the live view is at a slightly different angle than the one being recorded by the imaging sensor and the view finder (which is the one going to the final picture)
