That why l love the reg recall so l set it to a high shutter speed so when the bird takes off l just move thumb from back button focus to the reg recall button next to it & l have my 1/4000th or whatever l chose. Magic stuff👍 well put together Kathy, enjoyed it. R7 has a quiet false shutter sound can use in electronic mode, using the zones can help with which Birds Eye it gets.
What is your favorite bird to photograph?
Miss the ethics part, don’t disturb the birds as a principle, don’t feed them in spring/summer, no photo deserves harming. Emilie Talpin’s series explained so well. Anyway, the video is great. Thanks a lot 👏🏻👏🏻
I have R7 and I couldn’t be happier. I use it for our photography business and for personal use. It is a very fast and very diverse camera for a very reasonable price. Love my R7.
Good advice for the most part. I would argue against using electronic shutter on birds in flight, you will get warped wings because of the way the electronic captures in a series of scans.
I like DSLR's better. Cheers
Nice presentation from Kathy Adams Clark ! we feel all the love for photography and birds ! I am super satisfied with my Canon R7 the colorimetry is so good that for my videos I have almost nothing to do in terms of calibration !
One of the most informative videos on Bird photography ever! Learned so many things.
Awesome video 👏👏👏
I have the R7 for birds and R 6 for landscapes
