Interesting. I just got the camera this weekend and was wondering if the initial choice of auto focus could affect the subject detection, but I didn't test it much, other than with an eagle, which ...

I agree. The sun was going down behind my right shoulder for those. Can't get much better. When the eagle flew to the denser tree, not only was it in shadow, but the sun had gone behind the ...

Thanks. I was really close. The eagle was perched right over a sidewalk, so I chose my distance to get an angle of it that wasn't right below it. Not sure if you do imperial or metric, but I'd say ...

Thank you. I will keep an eye out for your bird shots too. In some ways, it was refreshing to do a lot of birding and to focus on identification and understanding more than photos, but I think I'm ...

I've only had my X-H2s for a few days, but this isn't true of that camera, and from the manual, it looks like the X-T5 is the same. You can't change the metering mode, or "photometry," but you can ...

[trimmed] Great shots, as usual, Morris. Birds can indeed close just one nictitating membrane at a time, just as they can only close one eyelid. Furthermore, this membrane is often misunderstood as ...

Thanks again for sharing your insights, Morris Pooping is definitely a likely sign of take off, just as preening or tucking tell you the bird is staying put. One other one I use regularly for large ...

Thanks, Morris. I haven't posted much lately, but have followed your posts and all the advice you share. Great stuff. Today was an initial test of the settings and I actually wanted to see what the ...

I've been away from photography for a while. Life can be complicated. A couple of weeks ago, I finally got back to some wildlife shooting at the Wildlife Sanctuary in Keensburg, CO with my X-T3 ...

There is no evidence to support the second half of that statement and plenty to contradict it. The key reason that Apple works to open the standard is that they pay more royalties to the various ...

Apple did not develop the standard container. It started as an ISO base media format in 2001 and was developed by the MPEG group in 2015. There is a Wikipedia page to read up on it. Apple adopted ...

Indeed. I think the Apple Developer Docs actually specify using their preferred file extension, which is probably why Fuji implemented the automatic renaming. I can't swear to that and don't have ...

Isn't the support rep saying the same thing as the manual? "HEIF pictures are stored on the memory card as fi les with the exten-sion “.HIF”. Before the pictures can be viewed on a computer, the ...

Hi Andre, You actually helped me out over on your Facebook group, and yes, that pre-sharpening as the major issue in x-trans. Rich
