A stick placed as a perch near the feeder will typically attract the bird, offering a more natural shot. I've even used a clamp to attach a stick to the post holding my hummingbird feeder and they ...

You should be able to open two File Managers - one against the SD card photo source and the other showing your destination folder on the PC. Then just drag-and-drop the photos. Windows should ...

Note that Focus Stacking, Focus Bracketing, Post Focus, etc. are all limited to 4K Photo Mode (8 MP).

If you plan to shoot video, then the FZ2500 might be a good choice. Otherwise go with the FZ1000 II.

Bruno: always at or near the top of the frequent posters list, due to his kind remarks and encouragement. He certainly enjoyed everybody's photos as we enjoyed his. The Sunny Side of the Alps got ...

Regarding video, the FZ1000 has a reputation for aching the zoom motor noise in the audio. I don't know if the FZ1000 II or FZ330 fare better. Shooting with an external mic will help.

For me, the choice would be the FZ1000. It can nearly match the reach of the FZ330 due it its 20MP vs. 12MP image size. And it only loses one stop when zoomed, which it's cleaner sensor can ...

Hard to tell if anything's broken there, Nick. Keep snappin'!

The FZ1000 came before the FZ2500 and while the FZ2500 offered a slightly longer reach it was touted more for video shooters with its parfocal lens running on rails, built-in ND filter and ...

Aircraft are also much more predictable and you don't need to anticipate when they may take flight.

My wife claims she can't really tell the difference between SD and HD TV, let alone any need for UHD when our old HDTV died. I got my way with a 55" LG UHD model. You'll also have trouble finding a ...

That's pretty darn good to my eye, Malcolm. After years of shooting my FZ150 and FZ200 at 12 MP to maximize the sensor, I've recently switched to using 5 MP EZoom mode to narrow the field of view ...

My FZ200 has a separate 16:9 mask that can be applied to its native 4:3 sensor, so I can essentially frame the 16:9 image. It's intended to show what I'd get if I suddenly switch to video mode, ...

My wife did a project with our grandson where they smear an empty toilet paper tube with peanut butter and then roll it in bird seed. Goldfinch Rose-breasted Grosbeak Ground feeding of feeder droppings

It works!

Note that the switch settings have nothing to do with the camera model but rather they must be set to the same positions on both the transmitter and receiver units to ensure that they can properly ...

Glad to see you're back in action, Johnny. Now that the plug has been inserted properly, perhaps that final contact has loosened up enough for you to get it plugged in yourself. Note that if the ...

If QuickAF is ON, then the camera will constantly adjust focus so if you bring the camera up to your eye it could have been focused on the foreground and suddenly you're asking for near infinity. B ...

Beautiful walk!

I drove to the lake place tonight and got down to the dock too late to catch the sun inside a sliver opening in the clouds.
