Last week I had very nice weather with a pair of Peregrines mating. Today it was very cloudy, but the V1 is doing well. Because slow shutterspeeds are the best for smooth video -no stroboscopic...

Yes, but the nestbox where they are nesting since two years is even only at a height of 42 meters!The place is located in a little town called 'Rijswijk'.They ignore the traffic and people totally,...

A short movie for those interested in using the V1 for videoscoping.It was very nice weather, so 100 iso was set.It's the 11-27mm lens through the 40X eyepiece of the zeiss-diascope.Distance to the...

Parakeets, Pigeons and waterfowl in The Hague. 10-30mm and 30-110mm lenses :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAXlB5BQUY8 For digiscopers : The V1 with 10-30mm through the 40X eyepiece Zeiss spotting...

But they do make nice sounds...:-)These Parakeets are escapes, and are doing very good in The Netherlands.

My former camera was the canon S95. Not bad for filming at iso 100-400, but the camera was a disaster : dust in the lens and spots on the sensor in only 6 months of use..:-(

No, only the 10-30mm was used without a tripod and VR was on.My expirience is that 'cloudy' is the best setting for the whitebalance for night scenery. The orange light is like about the original...

The iso setting is 3200 HI :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhWvkOhRNPM

That's my experience too with my older compacts. I have a superzoom canon SX 30but that's not usable at all for birds in flight.

ThanksNo, I'm using center point and the tracking is very good, even when there are objects in the background. I use the electronic shutter with 5fps. Only problem is that the viewfinder goes black...

You can lock the focus in 2 ways (AE-AE-F lock see the manual)This is also possible in combination with exposure-lock.The constant nervous automatic adjustment of the exposure setting during...

The 10,30, or 60 fps mode is a nice feature, but you can only shoot in 'P'.Shutter priority is not possible at this high speed, and you can't set continuous focus, so this is not ideal for shooting...

All from raw, no cropping and VR is off : 

Thanks, but I'm not using a tripod. I also have the 10-30mm VR lens, and then the problemdoesn't occur. By the way, it is a bit strange that 'active' is the default setting in thecamera-menu,...
