Thanks! Here's the exact chair: amzn.to/3Bg2dmo I don't recall if I bought it off amazon, or at a local office store like Staples or Office Max. I've had it for several years now.
This is technical talk, and nobody who just needs to know the basics will care, but: The focal length of a lens is always specified for full-frame cameras. The ZV-E10 has a crop sensor, also known as APS-C, with a 1.5x crop factor. This affects both the background blur (aperture) and the focal length. So, a 35mm lens on a crop sensor camera like the ZV-E10 becomes equivalent to a 52.5mm lens. There’s quite a difference between 50mm and 35mm when it comes to lenses. I just wanted to point that out, because if you watch a video shot with a full-frame camera (like the ZV-E1), 35mm will appear significantly “wider” than on the ZV-E10 due to the camera’s crop factor! Additionally, as a photographer, I have to say that the description of the aperture’s functionality gave me an uncomfortable feeling. Saying "the aperture determines the background blur" is always a VERY simplified way to describe it. However, your explanation is basically correct. I think the video is very helpful for beginners. :)
@@stephenwav Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I actually recorded a section on that (crop sensors vs full frame), and ended cutting it out because I thought it would be confusing for the people I’m aiming to help. I’m not making content for videographers and photographers. I help business owners who are experts in fields outside of video. So I’m trying to keep things pertinent to what they need to know, and use their language. For instance, they don’t say they want better depth of field. They want a blurry background.
Hello Nick, Excellent video. loving your chair. What chair is that? (name and model pls?)
