shooting aviation video

Post by shammah98 »

Hi,
I own a Sony CX-7 I purchased to shoot short aviation videos. These are from single engine, non pressurized airplanes. So as you can imagine, there's a fair amount of noise and vibration. I have noticed that I cannot get a clear image/video with this. The video always comes out looking "hazy", blurry, and sometimes, depending on how fast the engine is running(?), it sometimes will have a "wavy effect" to it.
I do have it set on manual (infinity) focus.
Is there anyway to get clearer images in such a setting?
On the ground, shooting home videos, the camera works fine. It's not as sharp/bright as some other cameras I've seen, but it at least looks like hd video. The stuff im getting in the air looks a lot worse than SD.
thanks!

Hi Shammah98

Please - no need to post your question twice in two separate threads. this causes confusion and duplicate responses.I have provided some help on your other thread in the "Shooting Tips" forum here :
