    Gutter nests also common here in Florida with the notorious Carolina Wren with tragic consequences. Also in vehicle engine compartments if parked too long in the spring. Z8 on my wish list, will come back to this video when I get one.

      Wow, never heard of birds nesting in engine compartments. Probably quite cozy and safe I guess.
      Thanks for watching!

    Your iso at 800 is a better choice as it’s one of the duel setting on the z 8 . Raw will be a better choice of course but duel censor is prime at 800. And 4000

    Hi @blinsaff. Thanks for the pre capture demo, which I watched with interest as a new Z8 shooter in Melbourne.

    Another top notch video. I’m going to give that a try. Can I plug a shutter button and use that instead of holding the button on the camera? Thanks again for your knowledge. ❤❤❤

    Good. Subscribed on the basis of this video (don't let me down! 😂). Like you I hope for RAW with this setting. Bit sorry not to see a still of the last sequence you took, it looked good - why so shy?

    Great video boss straightforward explanation. But I already have far to many shots to wade through at 9 fps. I also recon I could and do get these shots with a prehistoric 850. But my images will of course be raw and at least of equal quality (some say better). The method I use is two eyes open. So the shot is set up and I then go to live view silent mode. Then I use a trigger release and a good old saying from my army days "watch and shoot" Yes on occasions I miss the first shot but hey we have to have something to come back for next time. If I set it to mode 2 I can get 30 fps jpeg! I guess the advantage of the Z9 and 8 is the focusing?

    • @gdsmithimages
      @gdsmithimages  6 месяцев назад

      Cheers! Advantage of the Z8/9 is the focus and no blackout of the viewfinder when shooting at high speeds. But in the end it’s whatever works and lets you get the shot, even if it’s with “vintage” tech!

      @@gdsmithimages You are absolutely spot on, and sooner or later I will take the plunge and get the Z9 just for the focus system.

    Hi, thx for your demonstration. May I know what tripod and gimbal head you were using in this video? Are they good? Hope you can make a review on that. Thank you.

    • @gdsmithimages
      @gdsmithimages  5 месяцев назад +1

      thanks for watching. Sure - the tripod is a Benro Mach 3 carbon fibre tripod and the gimbal head is the Benro GH5C Carbon Fiber Gimbal head. Both are quite good and very light.

    Great video, I wonder what memory card you use. At this moment I use a CF express type B extreme pro 256GB Sandisk card and if I take 20fps raw lossless the buffer starts to stutter within 3 seconds, so I set it now to 12fps and stutter after 8 seconds.

      @@57sapke just did a test. In lossless raw, at 20fps it started to skip at around 12 seconds. At 12fps it went to like 40 seconds. I generally shoot in High Efficiency Star, and at both 20fps and 10fps it doesn’t even bat an eye. Would probably never stop until the battery ran out
