Glad you liked it! Thanks for your kind words.

I wonder why it's taken four years and 42K + viewers to finalize comment on this important detail?

Always nice to know that my videos are helpful, thanks for commenting.

A pleasure to read your kind words. Yes, still happily riding my sporngy wonder seat. Wouldn't ride without it, take it travelling when we go cycling in Europe.

@@MaartenHeilbron Ordered! Thanks for making this purchase easy!

That is unfortunate. Try aspirin.

Thanks for adding your thoughts. Most cameras of this size don't have mic in ports.

Thanks, a pleasure to read your kind words.

That is not an option. You'll need an external continuous light for video.

Always nice to read that my videos are appreciated, thanks!!

I have no explanation for this behaviour.

Muting a video recorded with sound is usually done as a playback setting on your playback device or in editing. On the camera, there is a playback sound control - just turn it to the lowest (off) setting. While yes, many of the devices we purchased in the previous millenium are obsolete and no longer manufactured, I'm trying to think of those that have been eliminated by legislation other than incandescent lightbulbs, which I was happy to see go.

Sadly, no camera manufacturer feels the need to have a small portable one-inch sensor camera in their lineup any longer.

@@MaartenHeilbron except leica d lux 7 and 8

hehe

I'm so glad you found this video useful, thanks for taking the time to comment.

Thank you for your kind words.

My goals are always to be as detailed as possible and to waste as little of a viewer's time as possible. Thanks for your kind words.

Thanks, pleased to read that you enjoyed it.

You should take a colorchecker profile image for each lighting situation, otherwise the white balance will be incorrect. That’s easier to fix with stills (especially with RAW images) than video. For video, I highly recommend that you take the few seconds required to set a custom white balance for each lighting situation. That will spare you the need to make colour adjustments in editing.

@@MaartenHeilbron I set the white balance with a gray card but I still have that weird problem sometimes. No matter what active d lighting and slider adjustments I make in the picture control software, there are situations where I can't get it to look right. I even tried a custom tone curve. But the raw file is fine. For now I just try to be very careful with lighting and do test videos to make sure things look right. But I wish I could understand what is causing this problem. It seems to me like there is a color gamut issue, but it seems like an unnecessary issue. The colorchecker profile I use(in Affinity Photo) gets colors looking right, I just have to adjust the white balance, so if I could just put that in the camera, I think everything would turn out fine. When I export photos in sRGB, things usually still look right, which is why whatever is going on in the camera seems like an unnecessary problem. It seems like nikon is trying to have some kind of style that limits colors and puts a weird contrast on things that looks unrealistic. Or my settings are wrong and I just can't figure out the right settings.

That’s very nice of you to say, I appreciate your kind words.

Wow, thanks!!

And his terrible impression of someone from the Netherlands? Thanks for your kind words.

Well, if you’re being technical, yes, it should be centred, with a wide a range as possible. However, the actual image and your creative intent should always take precedence over any meter.

AFG-S and subject tracking is not a workable combination. Thanks for your kind words.

That’s an opinion, not a fact. the number of people still anxiously waiting for theirs is a testament to Fujifilm’s accuracy in judging the price/value combination here.

It cannot.

@@MaartenHeilbron Thanks!

I have not been able to borrow any Leica model for a review.

No, i did.

Thank you very much for your kind words, they are appreciated. The primary reason why I’m doing so few videos is the lack of support from manufacturers who no longer lend cameras to reviewers and have sharply curtailed all of the marketing and promotional activities.

First, I’d like to understand what you feel the deficiencies are with your current camera or phone. The RX10 is a valid choice, as is the recommendation to go with a full frame system, as is your desire to understand the technical details of photography. Practice and review with any camera should improve the two things only you can control - composition and timing. The rest can happily be left to the camera to manage.

Does it give you white box on one or some? Are you using Single or Continuous mode?

@@MaartenHeilbron conyinuous and usually just the tracking box that turns green and no additional ones on other people

Thanks for suggesting this solution, appreciated.

I have not, as I’ve not been able to borrow a review unit of the A9II.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for this update, appreciated.

A pleasure to read your kind words, thanks.

It appears I mis-spoke, thanks for the correction.

Thank you very much for your kind words.

Side benefit: Lower BMI! Tehe hard part is actually saving money you didn't spend.

If that's your need, then it's likely best to use the small EVF inset in the optical viewfinder which provides an expanded view of a selectable area. Otherwise, rely on the autofocus (works well, particularly with face/eye), or use the EVF when focussing with one of the many manual focus assists. Thanks for your kind words.

What? I've dealt with Jeff many times for replacement pads and upgrades since I purchased over ten years ago and have always found him (both on the phone and email) to be friendly, very conscientious and helpful. At one point he insisted on sending me a replacement part for free. I tried to e-transfer him a gratuity as thanks and he returned it.

I appreciate that, thanks so much for taking the time to comment.

Thanks, I appreciate your kind words.

Thanks for your kind words - and thanks for pointing that out. The digital teleconvertordoes not seem all that useful to me, so I passed over the opportunity to comment on that. Nice to hear that you've found value in this setting.

Thanks for taking the time to add your thoughts to this conversation.

That's very kind of you, thanks for taking the time to comment.

It's always nice to read that my videos are appreciated, thanks for commenting.

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words.

So glad to hear you enjoyed this video.

I'd likely take the 16-50. While it doesn't offer the same range, the larger aperture is my preference.
