Thank you! Excellent guide to replacing the broken gear! Ed

Old thread - but my 10-100mm non-PD finally encountered the aperture gear failure in August of 2022. Yesterday, I took my V3 and just the 10-100mm to the county fair. I noticed unusually long ...

Flash sync (needs mechanical) Rolling shutter (the effect described above) Some LED lighting (needs mechanical shutter). Regarding the latter, I photographed a costume contest up on a stage using a ...

The purpose of the V.Mode setting is to adjust the EVF for those who wear eyeglasses. The EVF is designed for having your eye up close to the viewfinder. When you wear eyeglasses, your eye is ...

Thank you for that link - I've never used the post focus feature - will have to put that to use now! Thanks!

Have the Panasonic 25mm, the Sigma 30 and the 56mm lenses. When I am photographing characters (people) at events, I now use the Sigma 30 f/1.4 and the 56mm lenses, only. The 30 works great for me ...

Very nice! I had a chance to visit Sun n Fun a few years back and shot my photos with a Nikon 1 V2 or J5. 1" sensors seem ideal for air shows - small camera, small lenses with long reach, and ...

I agree that Gigapixel AI as well as many other image processing tools, can have variable success. On some images, these tools work remarkably well and on others, they make them worse! I have not ...

I had the Canon Digital Rebel XT also known as the EOS 350D, 8 megapixel, Canon APS-C format sensor. I used it for taking still photos but wanted something specifically for video. Back in about ...

I will re-post the images here to keep this simpler. On the left is the Stylus 1 12 MP RAW image output to JPG. This is the "Before" image, at 200%. On the right is the "After" image, after ...

I'm not sure a tripod would make much difference on a wide angle shot where the Stylus 1 also has excellent in body image stabilization. On the Stylus 1, this was 1/640 of a second with a focal ...

When I compare the 12 MB original with the 47 MB Topaz Gigapixel upscaled version, there is more than sharpening going on. Upscaling like this does at least two things - for smooth edges, the ...

You appear to have downloaded the X-Large format file on Flickr. The "Original" option downloads a 7936 x 5952 file, or about 47 million bytes.

Yesterday I took some photos of the Painted Hills in the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument with both my m43ds camera and my Stylus 1. The latter was shot in RAW (12 megapixel) and then ...

Wow  - this is a great list and agrees with most of my own preferred settings. I have an XZ-2 myself, and recently ordered a used Stylus 1 from a reputable dealer - the camera arrives tomorrow - ...

I do not have a huge amount of experience with Gigapixel AI. I used it on some air show photos with very good results - nicely pulling up detail on the aircraft (like rivets). I'm sure there are ...

Small correction to my original post - I wrote FX 18-200mm but meant DX 18-200mm lens.

Here's the before images and a comment on Topaz Gigapixel, below. If you were to download and pixel peep there is noticeable detail changes. Gigapixel AI uses AI methods to upsize the image, some ...

I did some test shots with my V2 and the FX 18-200mm lens to see how this would work out - was pleased with the results. The lens loses sharpness perhaps around 175mm and out but is otherwise ...

The Nikon 1 V2 had that feature. You could capture a single still image with an attached few second video clip. The idea was it could add context to the still photo, for later reference. They ...
