Re: Upgraded from webcam to D-SLR What NOW? Animation wise? software wise?

Okay I'm having a little trouble understanding what your problem is, but I think it has to do with the viewfinder's diopter settings. Watch this video to learn what that is and how to adjust it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zf5682W93os

The other thing may be that you have your camera too close to the LEGO. Unless you have a macro lens, which you don't, there is a limit to how close you can get your camera to an object and still be able to have it in focus.

The kit lens has to be at least .25 meters or .82 feet away from the subject to focus. Is your camera that far away?

Hey Repelling spider, thanks once again for your great response, may I just ask what do I do with the view finder? Is it better to use when I'm taking photos, or something, (sorry) And if I do it remotely, what can I do?

But I think and believe your probably right, I do have the camera very close to the minifig, like a couple of centimeters away, (about 4-5cm) Which may be very close and reason for this, I just though it could focus it well, maybe it really can't, and as you said I need macro lens for that, see I didn't know there was a limit, so thanks for the information you provided and the link, I found it to be helpful and resourceful.
Thanks Repelling spider!

Hey there AquaMorph,
Thank you for telling me the exact length of how far it is meant to be on the object that was something I was needing to know, and see there was no way I was a least that far away, as said, I was real close up to the minifigs, like a few centimeters from the camera, but then again I really didn't know it can get out focus, it's a lot different to a webcam.
But thank you for your brief, yet helpful info as well.

Thanks very much for both of your replies, if I have anymore issues, I'll let you know via this thread.

Kind regards,
Generalned
