    Turkey Vulture

    Would you mind sharing your captured images of them flying around? I would very much like to see the flight images I missed when I saw them. Thanks

    Assign Fn1, Fn2, Fn3 on Z8 (urgent)

    Update: In Z9, Z8, there is only one button that can be assigned by RSF(H) -Recall Shooting Functions(Hold)- to toggle two settings. Any other buttons assigned by RSF(H) for toggling other settings will be washed to toggle the same settings assigned by the first button! This poor customization...

    Assign Fn1, Fn2, Fn3 on Z8 (urgent)

    Something strange and bothersome happened! Last week I enjoyed shooting wildlife with my new Z8 + Z186 + TC1.4. I had preset some custom functions assigned to 4 buttons: fn1= 3D AF area, fn2= subject detection OFF, fn3= Auto area+Auto detection, and video= cycle AF area. It all worked perfectly...

    Are all these hummingbird images showing one same bird? If not, how many different birds?

    Burst speed for wildlife photograph (Z8)

    Z8 Uses shooting banks for different shooting settings (landscape, BIF, portrait), but those do not include "release mode" setting. Even if those banks take release mode settings, it is still not fast enough to change banks.

    Burst speed for wildlife photograph (Z8)

    Thanks for the advice. It's my (and many other experienced shooters) original thought and very true in practicality. But I have my own two faults: when shooting stills I would pause after about 0.5-1" that wouldn't be 2-3 shots unless reduced to 3-5 fps; and although I am old, I seemed never be...

    Burst speed for wildlife photograph (Z8)

    What's your take on setting burst shoot speed for wildlife photos? With Z8 you have two options: Low and High. You can set low speed from 1 to 10 fps; for high speed, you get 10 to 20 fps (30 - 120 fps has limitations). This two-option setting makes me much annoyed and bothered when shooting...

    Astrophotography - Deep Space Objects (DSO)

    Surprise! Comparing the new and old (Dec 23) images I observe the new one not only loses some details but also has the center light of the galaxy blown out... Only the color looks more likable. Are my eyes too old?

    Eyecup on VF or EVF

    I found this one: Zemlin How do these extended eyecups help photographers wearing glasses?

    Eyecup on VF or EVF

    I just got my new Z8 yesterday. After checking all (or most) body parts, I found the eyecup of the EVF seems to block my view a little and cause discomfort. I wear glasses when shooting and did not experience this issue with my other cameras (D3500 and Z6ii). Now I just removed the eyecup from...
