glad it helped ☺

Glad it helped

cheers mate its not the perfect set up its just how i like to use it but it hopefully helps people understand the menus a little better

@@sjm.photos Yes Stuart, I’ve had three positive comments on it. I also used it as the basis for my setup, which actually was pretty close to yours. Keep well.

@@Dolmen254 awesome thankyou :)

glad to be of help obviously this is how i set mine up so you may want to adjust the settings to suit you but it is one of the best things ive ever bought and it changed the way i photograph things now especially as an every day thing

Glad it was helpful!

enjoy the new camera Rob, glad i could help.any questions let me know i will help if i can

@@sjm.photos thats kind of you..thank you!

generally AFC and wide for birds in flight making sure 1/2000s upwards

id have my preorder in asap lol. i just find it helps keep whites whit and the colours seem to be more accurate

enjoy the camera any problems always happy to try and help out.

Thankyou

thankyou for the kind words Mark. yes sounds a dream to me. we can only hope sometime this year sony through us a bone and something to go wow at hehe

yes it is ive never had it on all the data is hidden in the meta data of the images anyway

Glad it was helpful!

thankyou. thats a brilliant idea thats an awesome little mod

I dont actually know other than if you set the powersave to one minute and if you had it at 600mm if it goes to sleep and then you push the shutter button it will go back to 600mm automatically

@@sjm.photos thank you. Lovely prompt reply

Glad it was helpful!

i think its only clear image zoom and slightly better jpegs. but i personally shoot raw only so i benefit from the full raw bit rate over the 8bit jpegs. also raw image size is larger aswell. and in raw you get the full dynamic range aswell. other than that no idea sorry

with a dslr or mirrorless you can manually zoom the lens and focus at the same time unlike the rx10iv which has an electronic zoom it will focus in video whilst zooming but wont if you are in stills. other than that the camera is a beast

thankyou for watching and glad they helped you so far. the memory recall dial can be set up so you can swap between settings quickly so it will probably help in that way. id have a quick search on youtube there will be full set up videos on how to use the memory function. regards stu

@@sjm.photos thx Stu, I'll do

You're welcome!

i shall give it ago but here in the uk its cloud cloud cloud rain rain at the moment :) have a nice christmas also

i never use it not used it sinse about 2008 id say. this video might help you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7-0FjKWBCoA.html

@@sjm.photos Thanks very much!

Thankyou 😊

nice to see someone else using the A1 and rx10iv aswell. thanks for watching. i really hope we get a complete monster all in one the rx10v has the opportunity to be the camera that many would only ever need.

hi Harald. its always a difficult one as even though the camera is very customisable its lacking in some areas but thats just its age showing i have noted this and will now look into it watch this space i will be back asap with something hopefully

@@sjm.photos Great!!!

new video uploading now it will be live soon

thanks hope it helped

@@sjm.photos yes just got one not carrying all my fuji stuff on holiday not worried about sensor size like some just takes great pictures thanks Ray Rjgphotography

if you push the button DISP on which is part of the wheel it will change views , hope that helps

the Af on is face detect and eye af. if you go back into the settings and add a new custom in the FN button set up when you go in there choose face/eye priority af, it means then you can pop into the FN menu easily and turn on face detect and eye af easily also in there i add animal /human subject detection so i can swap between animal and human easily

@@sjm.photos Cheers Stu. I've said before this is a little too advanced for my novice ability. I think I'm just going to learn how to use it like the old fashioned cameras were, first. You know, with just ISO, exposure ring and shutter. Build up gradually from there. I think I'm asking too much of myself to learn it all on this obviously quite amazing camera.

@@HyperBiker exactly how i learned back in the film days experimentation :)

hi yes the Rx10iv has it i or similar i have the lens button to toggle between what ever focus area ie wide or tracking etc and push the button it goes to spot push it again it goes back to what ever you were before its really handy its called . register Af area toggle

@@sjm.photos Thanks for coming back to me, yeah I guess I could use that in conjunction with another button too to also lock the focusing so I can re-frame my shot at the same time even when I have continuous focusing on. The 'Focus Standard' mode on my A99ii seems such a simple and powerful single button feature I just thought it would be on pretty much all cameras tbh as I use it all the time where the camera isn't understand who or what I actually want my focal point to be. How small can you make the focusing centre point on the RX10iv? Sometimes if a bird is right in a tree with lots of branches in front of it then it won't lock onto the bird and the centre point is still too large to miss all the branches but a single AF spot would be able to, the same for a person who is right across a room with a sea of other faces between you and them, it's often asking too much of the AF system to pick out the one person you want but a single AF dot will cut through them to where you want it.

@@Speak_Out_and_Remove_All_Doubt i have just done a video about custom buttons and the af set up plus other stuff including what you asked so hopefully it helps etc.

Only newer cameras i believe

the 18-135 is a nice little lens but bit limited as not a fast lens but ok for i use it for when vlogging and snapping

hi Elt um its a hard one mainly because i never use the memory recall. i just adjust my settings all the time manually so sadly i dont think id be much help also i dont use it because every time you format the card you lose them.

@@sjm.photos thanks.i was referring to the other memory option which saves to the camera itself. I've spent all nite trying to figure it out.lol. Still no joy 😂

@@sjm.photos Found a way to save different settings to camera. These won't delete when card is formatted. To programme the settings such as birds in flight: set up your required selections such as A, Iso, Focus Area etc. Then in the menu, go to Camera Settings 1, page 3 of 14 and go to the "Memory" option. Select which Memory location (1, 2 and 3 are on the camera and M1, M2, M3 and M4 will save to the SD card) you want to save that specific set up. Repeat for each different set up, but choose a new memory location. I have set 1 to BIF, 2 to static birds, 3 to scenic shots, M1 using Shutter. To use the various saved options the mode dial needs to be set to the "MR" position. Instead of C1 or C2 buttons I have programmed Memory Recall into the Fn button. To switch between configurations I press the Fn button, which brings up Recall and scroll left or right to the memory setting you want: 1, 2, 3 or M1 and press enter. To programme the function button: press menu, go to Camera Settings 2, page 9 of 10 and go to the "Function menu set" option. Set (Function Upper 1) as "Shoot mode". When using the method of saving to c1 or c2 using the other method. You have to keep the button pressed to use the different settings saved to it. This was you can go switch to what Eva saved settings you require Hope this makes sense😀

@@eltwilliams1116 thats pretty cool not something id use but very helpful thankyou for the info im sure others will find it helpful. keep enjoying the camera.

@@sjm.photos maybe a new video for you to make 😀. My camera driving me nuts lol I've yet to get a pin sharp pic of birds like you achieve . Just hope my camera not faulty In some way as it was bought used. 😥

unfortunately i couldnt really say as i just video in normal mode and just keep the iso down and record like that.

@@sjm.photos meaning rx10iv is poor at recording on S-LOG?

@@aerofilmzofficial2380 no idea i have never used it so i cant really comment i litterally use mine in manual mode and push record i dont use slog or any other presets

@@sjm.photos I would suggest you do a video about S-LOG in rx10iv so that we could learn. Anyway thanks so much. You really inspired me to use my rx10iv so very well. Commenting from Africa_Uganda

@@aerofilmzofficial2380 i shall see what i can do as video wise im pretty basic on it myself i shall have a play and thanks for the kind words and watching. i have some new mics now aswell so sound will be good now

Thankyou. I will try and do that

if you turn on cc subtitles and then click the gear icon then click auto translate you can choose spanish hope that helps

@@sjm.photos it's only un english, don't problem i will try to understand slowly jaja thanks

@@lucianoquattrocchi797 it does work click the gear dial to the right of the cc button change to auto then choose language it works for me

Turn off the touch screen but if you are using flexible spot for example push the wheel centre button to lock it in place or change between wide to centre as needed also if its faces turn on face detect and eye af
