    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.

    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.
