Thanks Click and AlanF. It's not everyday you get a heavy ice storm. Ours was a doozie, taking down tree branches & sometimes trees. After it hit there weren't any birds anywhere that I could see. It took them a while to come back - I'm guessing the flew Southward, as you didn't have to go far before it became warm enough to avoid the thick ice covering everything.
Very nice pictures, Cog. I've never thought of using the 1.6x crop mode before. In addition to the more zoomed in image displayed and the smaller file, can you still get a smaller raw file or cRaw file with it? And can you assign a button to toggle between crop and regular mode or do you have to go through the menu system for it?R5 1.6x crop mode
Beautiful colors, Dockland! The animal eye AF is maybe the best thing (to me) on the R5. I've just given the focusing to the camera and am glad I can have a back button focus for single spot and another for eye AF. It works great most of the time. When it doesn't I'm sure the QP AF in a future body will fix that and work perfectly almost all the time! I think the QP will be a big enough step that I might wait until one of the bodies finally comes with it for a 2nd body.
Hi ISv.Oops. sorry - it has to be a comment to Alan's comment not to your comment... Damn it! - after that much comments I forgot what I'm going to comment on
Same here about the eyeAF, but in addition it's the ability to lock on to a bird and track it swimming far away. My DSLRs are still great for BIF.
Yes, I include the "lock & tracking" part in with the animal eye AF in general. But it is an additional task besides the initial locating. I agree that it's really great on the R5! (or more like "totally stunning!"). I can't wait to see how much better their QP AF is! I don't really care about MP above 45MP - I'll take it or leave it, but just give me QP AF next!!!!
I liked this one. R5 eye autofocus/tracking does it's thing
View attachment 196817 Niceshot. Beautiful colors.
Thank you, Click!
Thank you! Technically, it should be the same output with a cropped file or a crop mode (I'm assuming) but you're right, it's sometimes convenient to see a bigger picture in a viewfinder. I haven't tried cRAW yet, but I hear people who use it find no visible difference. So I'll give it a try. And yes, I assigned the FULL-Crop function in the menu to the DOF button.
Alan, there is almost a month since my Chiffchaff friend visited my balcony. Now I know why!
Abosolutely superb portrait. Love itI liked this one. R5 eye autofocus/tracking does it's thing
Collins Bird Guide has songs and calls for every bird in it. It's my go to.Normally I don't promote any apps. But this here is great (available for both, andriod and iOS; I linked to AppStore):
BirdNET , bird song identification.
BirdNET is a joint project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Chemnitz University of Technology.
Without it, it would have been much more difficult for me to determine this little dunnock (prunella modularis) and its beautiful song
