Quesions for the long lens super telephoto wildlife shooters who do video and photo.

How do you deal with the various elements that cause the Atmospheric Distortion on videos and photos? And are their ways to deal with it? And what are the best way's to deal with it while recording/capture?

Thanks in advance.

I think other than picking a time with less turbulence (early morning) & reducing the amount of atmosphere you're shooting through, there's very little that can be done. With the moon at least you can take multiple shots & pick the results where distortion is least - this rarely works well for wildlife!
