I recently did something very similar - and with a five year old. The trouble with children is that they will not stay still and they get bored very quickly. :) I used a flash (partly as light ...

Many thanks for your replies and settings. I'll know where to start now!

Hi all, haven't had this lens long but this weekend I'm going to RAF Fairford RIAT 2018 airshow. Shooting with the X-H1. Haven't done any airshows for years so may be a bit rusty. Can anyone help ...

The best thing to do is to run the camera and see how long you get. Size of card is a factor as well as compression rate, HD/4K, etc. Not familiar with your camera but the manual should say for any ...

Not had any lockups on my X-H1 yet, I don't usually use the grip. Had a major photo session with it the other week - took around a thousand pics with no problems.

Yep, it's the shutter speed. You need to slow it down - 125th or slower. It will also depend on how fast the props are spinning. It's to introduce motion blur.

Auto White fir me, I shoot RAW so it doesn't really matter. I used the fine tune when I first got the camera. Slight adjustment to the lenses I tried and they are pin sharp.

If you do decide to use BBF then you should disable shutter focus (using the shutter just to fire the shutter) Otherwise it will override the BBF. BBF is best used with AF-C as it gives you the ...

I would personally prefer the 50-140 for video. A bit more versatility in the zoom, especially if you are stuck in a place on a tripod (if in a church say). But I certainly wouldn't use it zoomed ...

I have had some great shots with that lens on my D850 - did you have VR on? Perhaps you may have to calibrate the lens on the camera.

I've noticed that as well - not had a day out yet since I updated it the other day but just mucking about with it I noticed the battery going down. I did a wedding a week or so ago with the camera ...

Can't advise on new camera but you will improve low light performance straightaway with a couple of LED light panels. Not too expensive nowadays.

I agree with what others have said. I'd be wary of editing other people's work unless you know what they are like. It can sometimes be a pain if they don't know what they are doing - editing will ...

As far as I remember 4k was never intended for consumer use. It was extra resolution for broadcast tv production. But it seems to have become the buzz word for video shooting. I don't normally ...

This is something that I've been using for over 30 years as a professional video cameraman. The viewfinders were B&W then and the focus peaking colour was only white. Having a B&W viewfinder was ...

The professionals move with the times, consumers do not.

If you asked the client 'would you like high quality images?' They would say, 'of course'.

Audacity is a free program that will record audio from your soundcard.

For all the dance shows, concerts and events we video, DVD is still the best medium for sales. The majority of people still have a dvd player with their tv.

A friend of mine who uses Premier says that Encore is still there - you have to install it manually.
