Although I will say that in my film THE BROKEN QUIET (currently looking for distribution), I was able to achieve a lot of nice fairly-shallow depth of field shots without pulling back terribly far. Here's a few pictures. http://www.hall-e-woode.com/DOF/Image0.jpg http://www.hall-e-woode.com/DOF/Image1.jpg http://www.hall-e-woode.com/DOF/Image2.jpg http://www.hall-e-woode.com/DOF/Image3.jpg http://www.hall-e-woode.com/DOF/Image4.jpg http://www.hall-e-woode.com/DOF/Image5.jpg http://www.hall-e-woode.com/DOF/Image6.jpg http://www.hall-e-woode.com/DOF/Image7.jpg http://www.hall-e-woode.com/DOF/Image8.jpg Most of these pictures I was only about six to ten feet away, but a few of them were in tight rooms (which you can probably tell). No adapters. All with the HVR-Z1U. |

I guess one of the thngs I find wrong with the Z1 is the positioning of the iris control. While on a tripod it's fine where it is, but handheld...I find i have to take one of my hands off the camera to adjust it manually, which causes obvious shake. Maybe this is the work around you have to pay for a lighter camera.

But I've seen many people hold their cameras from underneath, which I find less effective, and which leads to more shaky footage (at least for me), and too low angle all the time. |

Your going to have to take a picture of that!!
I can never find a good way to access focus, exposure and zoom in an affective manner. |

Your wish is my command.
My hand position is a bit off because I'm trying to lean back and see the camera viewfinder at the same time, but you'll get the idea. My right hand is holding the camera through the strap. |
