Thanks Ian for the clear explanation of the Custom settings. While I've been aware of them, I never thought to use them in a practical sense. Now I'm motivated, haha.
Just shooting for relaxation is what I really love…. Getting out in nature is the best…. Think it might be time to upgrade my XT3…… The XH2 is a well set up camera.
Just getting back into photography now and enjoying the lessons and tips. Guess I'll have to learn my little camera ...just a crop sensor sony a6000. Dont have all the wonderful settings as your setup but taking from the lessons what i can. Most enjoyable learning from you. What i can give back is advice on getting close to subjects without the subjects scurrying or flitting off: act as if the subject isnt there. Works on the street as well as in nature. Humans and other species sense when they are the subject. Look beyond the subject and you will be able to photograph them almost on your lap.
Just to note Ian, that the Egrets you're seeing are Little Egrets not Snowy Egrets. Snowy Egrets are an American species, not often seen in the UK. Otherwise great video. I think the learning point for me is enjoy the great day even if you don't get that fantastic photo.
Hi Ian. Another interesting video. I must admit i haven't used my custom settings dial, but i think i will now, so thanks for the tip. It was nice to see you out trying wild life photography and it was a shame that they didn't play ball. You managed to capture some nice image's of the flying birds. Look forward to the next one.
I use the different ratios ie: 16x9 as I find this helps with composition. I don't use the digital crop/zoom feature though, as I prefer to do that myself in post production if required.
Say Hey Ian! I am using this comment to share my recommendations to your recent call for thoughts on your search for a new "pocket" camera. I have been having a virtual conversation with you since you brought up the subject a couple videos ago, and here is the perfect solution. DON'T DO IT! After watching you, and paying close attention to your style, I believe you already have the prefect pocket camera for your requirements, the Fuji XT-3, you will just need a bigger pocket, I suggest a small sling bag, the Tenba Solstice 7L Sling Bag will carry the fuji and an extra lense, and after watching your review of the X100VI, I don't think you will be satisfied with out the reach of a telephoto, I know, I know it will not fit in your pocket, but hear me out, I have bought a few pocket cameras over the years, and they pretty much sit on the shelf. It seems like you have been bitten by the gear bug, I think a Tamron 18-300mm would provide inoculation ($550 used). A couple weeks ago you mentioned spending on hiring an assistant, I think this would give you the biggest bang for your buck, er pound. You might even be able to charge him/her for the lessons, and they could carry the gear too. There, now that have gotten that conversation out of my head, I will relax and watch CAMERA TRICK. Please keep the great videos coming. Al
Thanks Al, much appreciated. I tried that Tamron lens and wasn't impressed with the IQ. I sold it after 4 weeks. You are right, the xt3 makes a great everyday carry but like you mentioned, I would need a bag, so not really pocketable.

Thanks for sharing your settings with us. I like the idea of seven custom modes.

Hi Ian.

I will try to set up my Sony a7IV, it is a very good trick !!!!! Thank you again !
Thanks Pierre 👍
The Gann think, over the bridge this time .😊
Thanks so much
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks 🙏
Hi Ian, Do you ever use the in camera crop settings?
Thanks for your videos I really enjoy them.
I use the different ratios ie: 16x9 as I find this helps with composition. I don't use the digital crop/zoom feature though, as I prefer to do that myself in post production if required.
Another great video 👏🏻 Why turn the IBIS off in your tripod mode?
Typically, for longer exposures it's better to have the ibis turned off. 👍
I use very similar custom settings for tripod and action but I don’t think the Nikon Z7 has a recall to custom function.
Thats interesting. 👍
