Eclipse Video
1

The weather forecast was not looking good. During much of the eclipse the clouds were completely covering the sun. Weirdly, I'd see something like this on the camera's display:

Kind of reminds me of various UFO videos. The sun did manage to peak through the clouds for a few seconds, so I managed to capture this video:

The framing is off at the beginning because I could not tell where the sun was. I'm still getting used to the R5. Somehow I got the camera into video mode accidentally, and I couldn't figure out how to take stills. I finally resolved that by turning the camera off and back on again. This camera is so unintuitive compared to the previous cameras. One of these days I'll get used to it.
