aren’t those just firmwares for the newer lenses using the dock. I think Sigma offered factory only firmware updates before the commercial dock was a thing.

Sigma 100-300/4 EX DG Cross posted in the Nikon lens forum.  I figured someone here might know something more about legacy Sigma than over there. I think I got the model name right. This one can be ...

Sigma 100-300/4 EX DG I think I got the model name right.  This one can be confusing I think they made a bunch of different versions all almost identical internally.  Anyway I think this is the ...

But I thought the hardware wasn't able to do 24fps?

Just tried the Sigma and Tamron 150-600 with the FT1 on a J5.  Both don't work. J5+FT1+Sigma150-600 : Lens cannot be used error blocks the whole screen J5+FT1+Tamron150-600 : Motors in the lens ...

Yep. Just got my J5 and confirmed as well.  Must be to do with the newer expeed processor. Also the time out in the focus assist mode seems to only affect native 1 system lenses. When I was using ...

Answering my question since I just picked up a V3 to test. 1)Focus assist is a thing.  Set to manual focus 'MF' and then the center 'OK' button activates focus assist.  Use the control dials to ...

Like the full size Nikon DSLRs, does the J5 let you crop/zoom into the live view and move that area around with the 4 way controller?  Also is this doable over HDMI and an external display?

I'm going to be doing some video using a 400mm lens and the ETC-1080p mode on a G85 which makes the effective focal length something crazy like 2000mmm.  I've already got something similar setup ...

Do any E mount cameras have a video crop mode that uses a 1:1 pixel mapping within the larger sensor for 1080p? If so, can the active area be moved around at all?

I think I might pick up a G85.  Obviously not the earliest example but I need the megapixels for more reach in ETC mode and the 20mp models are much more money.

ETC = Extra Tele Converter basically to spy on the moon/animals/people

Thanks!  So what’s the cheapest 20mp camera that also has HDMI live output?

Specifically I would like to have ETC and 1080p to get the maximum crop factor.  Also, can the 1080p crop zone be moved around the frame on any of these cameras?

Of all the MFT cameras that have a 1080p crop mode, which ones have the highest crop factor?  Also do any of them allow you to move the crop region around?  Do any of them have wireless remote ...

Oh I bet this was grey market and they just removed the power plug adapter and somehow confusingly put in that C7 cable for some reason. :-|

I bought a 'new' P1000 from 6ave photo. Everything seems fine and the camera seems new. Box seemed like it sat for a while on a shelf maybe it was a demo.  I'm in the US BTW. Inside the box was a ...

Ok I guess I'll try without it. Shame its different from their ILC controls. I don't see why the P1000 should be different. Having a consistent UI and control layout is good for everyone. More or ...

Ah thank you. But is there no way to move the cropped area around like you can on the DSLRs?  If my subject isn’t perfectly centered I don’t want to be bumping the tripod head back and forth at ...

Just picked up a P1000.  I'm used to Nikon DSLRs that all have live view crop.  You just push the magnifier 'plus/minus' button and use the 4 way controller to move around the crop zone for ...
