Hello. Thanks for the video. I have two questions and both are related to pre capture.
First one why don’t you increase the time a bit? 0.02 is super fast. It is like you have super human speed and don’t really need it. If you say you have too many files, the good thing is that you can stack the pictures and just lock the ones you would like to keep and erase the other ones if you need space on your drive. Or at least you can note them with stars to identify the correct one to keep.
Second question is regarding the way to activate precapture. Why not use both shutter and af? This way is you are focusing but didn’t press the shutter at the same time(because back button focusing) you are getting the images in advance.
Cheers from France and thanks for the nice video as usual.
Alex

you are kind of assuming two things: 1. unlimited card space and 2. no deadlines

Good to see how someone else sets up the camera. I made a couple of changes based on your suggestions. And some of my settings are based on my experience with the a1. One question… you have your pre capture set to .02 seconds. Don’t you mean .2 seconds?

[@PMRTV]

yes, my bad. .02 is my setting.

[@alanross3661]

@@PMRTV .02 is two one hundreds of a second. It would net you 1 or 2 shots of pre capture.

Flickering? Doesn’t global shutter eliminate that?

I'm a beginner here. I still don't understand why not shooting in raw. I thought all pros shoot in raw for post-production process.

[@PMRTV]

not if we re on deadline!!! Jpg is still king for most pro sports shooters.
