Yes it is, DXO have a comprehensive list of camera bodies and lenses on their website. If you try the trial version out, every time you want to process an image, it will identify the camera and lens and download a profile. You will see a dialogue box confirm that every time it encounters a new camera and lens or updated version.

I still aim to use both, depending on the image and how much denoise/sharpening is required. I agree that on some of the very higher ISO images, default settings tend to over compensate. I had not played around with the settings in DXO Pure raw too much, but found it does indeed give some control similarly compared to Topaz (Photo AI). I found batch processing was much faster than Topaz and I am still going to use Denoise AI and Sharpen AI perhaps in photoshop for more localised areas. But yes, as you point out - the decision is up to the individual - that's a very valid point you have got. Hopefully, I will do a more 'in depth' look at DXO in the future once I am totally familiar with it.

@@Bird_in_camera I look forward to see how you get on with DXO , I’ve not upgraded to Topaz Ai , not sure it’s much better than Denoise and Sharpen which I use now but never say never and will keep an open mind

@@kathleeneveritt5340 You can download and install both apps, DXO will get a 14 day trial, PhotoAI is not time limited, fully working but without the option to save or export. Latest PhotoAI has recently been updated, but there are lots of reports of it being unstable - so i will wait a while before perhaps upgrading.

I agree. I think some of the bird images are definitely over sharpened. I use pure raw 4 with my canon r8 and I tend to use the "soft" option for sharpening, as even standard tends to over sharpen. I like how pure raw downloads a lens profile for every new combination that you use, which makes chromatic aberration and vignetting a thing of the past. It really is very good and if you're careful with the sharpening option, it's class leading software, imho. The price is very reasonable as well.....unlike topaz ai....which is too expensive, as you can't upgrade the individual pieces of software (like denoise ai), meaning you're having to pay for sharpen ai and gigapixel ai, forcing you down the path of upgrading all of them, or none!!

Flattery will get you nowhere. Yes, Autocapture was added to the Z8 whilst I was filming this video - works just the same

Great video. Taught me a few things. The resent update has changed things a bit.... could you do another video?... maybe? Might help new comers 👍 thanks

@@cutitcold hopefully yes, a new firmware update has been released so will look at that .

Very good video. You mentioned that the minimum distance to the "target/object" should be the focal length multiplied with 20. So if I'm using a 600 mm lens the minimum distance should not be less than 12 meters?

@@PerratheSwede yes that's right, that becomes a limitation if you want to capture small birds as they will probably not trigger autocapture.

Mostly Z9.

I will start using it like that too, cheers

Thanks, will do!

Thank you, will look into that.

Ahh I see what you mean, however for me, the reason I use a monitor is so I don't have to lie down on my front and crane my neck to look through the EVF as that would aggravate my neck arthritis, I could use the LCD opened out but i found it too small.

Many thanks, glad you found it useful. Cheers.

Thank you
