Glad you're finding a better NR/Sharpness combination. In S mode, as you make the shutter speed faster, the camera typically opens the lens wider before it increases ISO (consistent with you're ...

If you're shooting with NR= minus 5, you're doing so with in order to avoid smearing due to in-camera NR, and you should expect to do some NR with an external NR program. I think you also have ...

Safe unless they morph into drop bears

I wonder if you reset the image counter in the camera (or did a system reset) so you're creating files with names you've used before. Is that perhaps the case?

Beautiful bird. Nice capture

4400mm fov is 0.45 of the sensor linear or 0.21 of the sensor area 0.21*16mpx = 3.3mpx. The image was displayed at 3.3mpx, so the downsampling reversed the effects of the digital zoom, and you're ...

"Macro" was classically defined as an image where the object size on the photographic negative (24x36mm for 35mm film) was larger than the physical object size. That appears to have been stretched ...

:-) Have a safe and enjoyable weekend.

You can get the info that way - but if you want the most detail, install something like Picture Information Extractor (free from https://www.picmeta.com/ ) You can rightclick any image and get the ...

The point of S mode is to let you change the shutter speed yourself. There's no "default"

In shutter-priority mode you've selected shutter speeds much slower than what P mode selected for you.   I'd suggest either use the slower speeds on a support for testing, or set the shutter to ...

It's slow to return control even in MF mode. No idea why. With the FZ series you can mount the Raynox on a body tube so Raynox-to-subject distance stays constant as you change zoom. With the P950 ...

Your hands are rock solid. A point source tends to show up as a wavy line when there's physical movement, and I don't see any of that at all. Same for the robin itself. Topaz Sharpen AI has three ...

Lovely album

It's a bit out of focus. Would you be interested in seeing what the Topaz Sharpen AI's "Focus" correction does.  New rules say I need your permission.

Thank you

Lovely.  Is the image downsampled or is it cropped? Thanks

Cute little critter. This is a big year for chipmunks in our area. Yes - that's the Nikon NR smush applied to the low-contrast brown fur. Much better if you use raw and a good NR program.

Bill was kind enough to answer my question later in the thread Sherm
