Best Video lens for X5S?

[Hawkeyelogic]

Hi guys,

I have been struggling making Videos with my Olympus 17mm m Zuiko digital lens
I will manage to get one aspect in focus but everything else is out of focus and frankly makes me feel sick when watching it especially so if I yaw.

Any tips or suggestions greatly appreciated

up your f-stop. The 17mm starts at 1.8. this will have a shallow depth of field. go above f4

Hi, at first I started with an f4 aperture, but now I use f8 on all my Oly lenses and I'm more happy with the results. But I have to say that I do mostly photography, no video.
