I don’t see why not. You may need to adjust your ISO and/aperture to compensate for your shutter speed that you’re limited to using though.

You’re welcome! Glad it helped! 👍

Awesome! Same here! 👌

Hello! If you know what the minimum focus distance is for your extension tube setup, then the auto focus should be no problem. Just keep moving back with the focus point set to the closest part of the subject to the lens. That should be the closest you can go with your setup.

Thank you! Much appreciated.

I hope you get to go one day! It wasn’t high up on my list but now that I’ve gone, I definitely want to go back and explore further!

Well, that’s because this is all about night photography! 😉

Yes it's true. It can happen if you aren't careful. Just don't have the sun prominently in your frame for an extended period of time when you don't have a solar filter on. If you have a solar filter on your lens then you should be OK to expose for a longer period of time. If you're just taking a single photo of the sun then take the photo and change the direction of the camera so it's no longer facing the sun.

@@taku_kumabe oh ok thank you

You betcha! I don't remember which ones but I'm sure you were!

Many of the features on the Z6III are taken from the Z 8 and Z 9 because the processor is more capable now with the Expeed 7.

Are you referring to an exposure delay?

That's a great point! Thanks!

Different uses for timelapse and video, but yes the raw video is sweet!!!

I haven't used the Zf myself, however feature-wise they should be very similar to how they work on the Z8/9. That being said, the Z f is different in ergonomics and how it feels in your hand due to the different form factor. You might want to go to your local camera store and hand-hold the camera first to see how you like it. You can also look into the Z6iii which also has pre-release.

Thanks! If you do, I hope you have great weather!

Hi Cal! Thanks very much for watching! I will have the rest of my excursion videos coming this summer. As for the gear, you can watch my video on the 14-night Antarctica Cruise. I've listed what I ended up bringing in that video!

thanks very much!

Thanks, I appreciate that very much!

Hi Mike, thanks for watching! The prices listed are in Canadian dollars, since I'm located in Canada. I didn't verbally say that but it was written on the video.

@@taku_kumabe I understand...wow I didn't catch that. It'd be enough to move to the states if you buy a lot of gear...thanks for sharing! Peace...

I agree! If you know you'll be at 400mm then that lens is probably your best bet. You'll love it!

@@taku_kumabe thanks 🙏 I will miss the close focussing distance tho 😢

Bonjour! These are all pre-focused since I know exactly where the birds will be coming and going. I prefocus the shot, then simply shoot with pre-burst to get the shot. I also use the back-button focusing method so the shutter button is separate from the focusing, to allow me to do this technique. If you don't have back button focus enabled, you can pre-focus the shot and switch to manual focusing. This will allow you to press the shutter button without it focusing each time.

This sounds like it's a buffering issue. Depending on the memory card you're using, it might not be fast enough to write all that data on to your card. I don't know what type of Lexar card you have so it's hard to say, but this is a typical behaviour for when the memory card cannot keep up with the speed of the burst mode you have it set to. A good test is to slow down your burst mode and see if your card doesn't stop. If it doesn't then you know the card isn't capable of handling the fastest bursts of your camera.

...and here I thought I was doing something different!

@@taku_kumabe Just boring... 😂😂😂

Hey Kurt! Thanks for watching. I tried to go at sunrise but I couldn't get myself out after spending a few nights filming this! I'm finding I'm not as active as I used to be. hahaha...

Thanks Peter! Even with the hood I sometimes felt it was too wide for those smaller trees. I may have to experiment more next year! haha...

Hi! I have not used that one so I can't say for sure. I don't think that one is safe for viewing the sun with the eye though so I would only use it to take photos.

@@taku_kumabe thx you for answer me

Thanks. None of these mics will pick up your voice better than a lav mic will. You can check this video here for a demonstration of what it sounds like when I'm standing behind the mic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqWsmJundsmcma8si=pUVdrABxMlMU_NNL and go directly to the Outdoor demonstration link in the TOC. But if you're directly behind the camera, then your voice might be a little clearer than what you heard in my demo since I was standing about 4 feet away. You can always put your lav mic on a stick and have the other person hold it while they talk, if you want a quick and clearer option.

That's good to hear! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate that!

I've heard of that but haven't had the chance to try it out yet. Thanks for the suggestion!

It plugs in without any adaptors as it comes with the 3.5mm cable.

@@taku_kumabe thanks! can you see the mic sticking out in the frame with widelense? It looks quite long

I have no problems with mine. Not sure about the noise you get but my 440 does get static now only because I pulled the cable too much by accident. I have to make sure the cable is not pulled before using it now, otherwise I get noise. One of the drawbacks of the 440!

Had to google who that was!

Thanks! Much appreciated.

You're welcome 😊

ahh yes. You are correct in that it's back lit so normally the dog would have been a silhouette. In fact the dog was in the shadows and I simply increased the shadows on the dog so he popped out more (inside Adobe Lightroom). Normally you would do this with a flash or strobe but I did not have one and this was not my dog-he just happened to stop in front of me when he was chasing a stick the owner had thrown to the right.

@@taku_kumabe Thanks!
