One thing missing from his video was that you might want to turn off the OSS (IS in Canon term) when shooting *high* shutter speed. You don't need OSS when the SS is high, and it can get in the ...

Did Canon ever license the EF protocol? Does the 3rd party still need to reverse engineer the protocol?

I think Sony did, and that's why their 3rd party lenses are able to operate at the native AF...

I always put the Zone in center for BIF, and take lots and lots of photos. Like you said, swallows are very fast, and you will not have the time to move the Zone. Leaving in center and you always ...

Still not fast enough sometimes when photographing birds in particular. I used to tap the shuttle release button from time to time to wake up the camera, but I missed enough shoots that I always ...

Yes, M to lock down the SS and f-stop. The camera can be too smart for its own good sometimes. For BIF, in general, SS is more important than other settings - you can't (or it's very hard) to fix ...

Hm, just googled it, very interesting. It's equivalent of the E 70-350 APS-C. I can see FF people pick up the lens to get into wildlife/bird photography, if the lens is cheap enough. Now I would ...

AGREE. But sometimes, that extra sharpness, IQ, and f/4 might made the difference. That being said, lightweight counts quite a lot too, more stable hand-held. I would like to know, how often Mark ...

Here is what works for me, YMMV. Default base settings, AF-C, Zone, 1/1250s, max aperture, auto ISO, and max frames per second. Make adjustments according to the conditions (mainly the SS; faster ...

The [X1T-S + TT350s] combo works on a6300 & a6600. I use flash M mode for macro work.

I set the ISO to the camera's base ISO which is 100 for the a6x000, to keep the noise down. It's hard to clean up noisy images for small subjects.

That was with AF-C tracking and the wind was blowing. I was hoping the AF can work with small subjects, but it was a no go. It was windy when I tried the MF. When I started macro, I was surprised ...

Thanks people. It happened to someone. Here's his reply from a different forum: " I get sunlight glares like that from time to time if it’s very bright out or my shutter speed is slow, I try to ...

Someone suggested it might be reflections, and that made me wonder if some light was bouncing somewhere. The only thing I can think of about the light streaks running different directions is on my ...
