[QUOTE="Old Sub Sailor, post: 838558, member: 62429"] I am not using any of the pre-release capture settings. The jumping was more of a slow creep up or down. I had the Z8 In Body Image Stabilization turned on, but given that I believe that I had the balance off by a fraction, [I]and[/I] I also believe that I did not have the gear cams tightened as much as I should have( I still have much to learn about this Arca-Swiss tripod head; I think that it can take a heck of a lot more grunting than I think that it can.), I am wondering if that would have mattered. Given the the heat shimmer which is often accompanied by dust and smoke (dust storms from Africa and massive burns from Mexico and South) down here in South Texas, long distance shooting with this lens is often impractical so I do not get that much real practice. Then you can throw in the Sea Fogs, and haze just for fun. Gotta add in Arthur who takes his fair share out of my shoulders and elbows and the MRSA infection that ate up my right hand. Ain't we got fun. OH well, my Nikon FM3A is not nearly so much trouble some times. [/QUOTE]
