Airshow with GH3, 100-300 & red-dot sight

hmm wonder it is is possible to get red dot sight with the ability to add in drop in frame lines for different focal lengths. This would help with framing.

That would be neat.  My dream model, would be one that would interface with the video out on the HDMI port, and overlay a faint image of the cameras EVF/LCD view on the RDS screen.

ok

will do

any thought on af setting?

Try both - AFS and AFC and see what works better for you.  I assume you are going to be bursting shots?  While doing so, AFC will keep trying to focus between every shot.  For this show, I only used AFC.

thanks,

is there an easy way to upload a couple of images or do i have to host them somewhere first?

DPR has users galleries which you can upload to, then share the photo from your gallery in the post (this is what I am doing).

Some great images! I'm off to the Shoreham Airshow here in the UK tomorrow - just found out that the Canadian Lancaster won't be flying, which is a bit disappointing.

What do you set the focus at? AF-S I'd guess, but then due you specify a particular area rather than spot?

Cheers,

Thank you!

For this show, I used AFC.  I also used single area (box) AF mode, but enlarged the box 2 or 3 times larger than the default size to it covered a large part of the frame.

Excellent, all around.

For some reason though I have a strong hankering for some Jelly Beans with a Red Bull and a Beer. ???

Thanks Bob!

Yup - something for the kids, and the folks

Great shots, hifi. I haven't looked at mine yet. Maybe this weekend.

I am really looking forward to your shots!  I want to see some grabs from your FZ1000 4K video.
