I use the smallest focus area, center the camera on (for example) the lion's eye, half press and hold the shutter button to focus (retry as necessary) then move the camera to frame and press the ...

Thanks for catching my error

Nice combination. The small sensor doesn't handle ISO 3200 very well. You may find yourself happier with the results if you added some bright lighting. Should you be interested in doing so, the ...

Great start to the year !

Here's what I'd have done with it - Crop, brighten blacks, take the whites down a bit

I played with this a bit yesterday. I set zebras arbitrarily to 95%. Highlight metering at +2/3 EV works automatically to eliminate zebras from light bulbs indoors.  Certainly worth a more ...

There's a problem with the way P950 handles aperture priority. If you set the camera to full w/a and open the aperture to 2.8, you can go to full zoom, aperture closes to 5.6, then back to full ...

Interesting thought. Gary Friedman's book states that the Highlight metering mode sets the brightest spot to 18% grey so your +1EV setting makes sense.  I'll need to try it. You might even want to ...

...and of course you can change the switch on the back of the camera from MF to AF if you want autofocus.

You don't need HSS with the RX10iv.  The train of flashes provided by HSS is necessary only for focal plane shutters, .  The RX10iv has a leaf shutter, and the entire sensor is illuminated during ...

I don't know of any to turn it off permanently, but for each picture, you can push the down arrow to change the magnification to x1.  You can also push the right arrow to trigger a one-time ...

Sounds like you might be set to manual focus and the display is showing a magnified view of the center of the field to assist with focusing. When you half press the shutter, you see the full ...

Definitely the case, particularly at higher ISO.

What about simply the classic DP Review text reviews via "DP Review TV reviews" to keep the playing field level ?

Probably easier to use manual focus and enable focus peaking, so you can adjust focus to match areas at different distances from the camera.

There were a couple of approaches discussed here https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3350423 Alternatively, you might be able to drill your QR plate off-center as I did here. (Ignore the epoxied ...

Here's what AFV reads as the focus points. Not sure what to say about it. The two boxes show subjects which are different distances from the camera, and neither box contains a clear vertical line ...

Videos are find when I want to learn how to fix my washing machine.  For camera reviews, text with full-resolution images is far more efficient and informative.
