Im chuckling quietly here watching a 3yr old video on an already 3 yr old camera talking about the rx10 v and here we are in 2023 and its still the 1v ....wich i finally purchased...and its still the same price. Still for this amateur its amazing

Love those shots of the wading birds right at the surf line. That’s one thing I’m missing here in southern Arizona! I’ve been using my RX10iv to shoot hummingbirds hovering at a flower. High burst rate, afC and centre focus point has been working well. Even at 1/1000 sec some of the wing beats are still a blur depending on which stroke the wing is in.

Great Stu very informative! Thank you

Awesome. Personal experience is always appreciated.

The RX10 IV has very good AF. The animal eye AF feature was a nice add on that they did in their last firmware update.

I actually purchased this camera after watching your video's and am really pleased with it, so much so I am taking it out more and leaving my A9 at home for the convenience. My only wish is that it had zone focus as well which I prefer. Amazing camera though. Took a gull in flight heading towards me and out of 40 shots only 6 had slightly missed focus

Nice. As for the next version (5) , though many would like the bigger battery, a better menu system, a full touch screen, a bigger sensor (of course but unlikely), longer slow motion time, and a host of other upgrades, in my humble opinion, adding 5 or more stabilization axis is the key. That affects shooting for all. That's not a convenience; that would allow for better hand held shooting which many of us amateurs/hobbyist do. Add that and the RX10mV takes a huge leap forward. I hope Sony engineers don't read this as I just bought the mIV and if they omit that element on the next version, I'll be a very happy camper and not feel like my camera is obsolete and lacking (haha). Come on Sony, be the marketers you are and add a bunch of cool things but leave off that key element for the mV version. Please and thank you. Lol. :)

Thanks for the video. I still love my RX10 IV. About the bird at 8.20, that is a Dunlin. And the "seagull" is a Tern, but hard to say which one, there are a lot of them. Nice pictures btw.

Thanks for the fast reply, I must say there is a lot going on with this camera. I am used to Nikon and this is all foreign to me, I am just finding new things out. Thanks for explaining it to me 👍ADRIAN

I always enjoy your informative tutorials. Just a question, how is it possible to focus on both the ducks sitting closely to each other though at different depths while making the background blurry?

Hi Stuart revisiting this video. When your in manual the mm feature keep flashing. Is that the light meter and if so do you adjust it to get perfect exposure. Thanks John, still waiting to see if mk5 is coming👍

I am really enjoying mine. The only issue is occasionally being in the wrong focus mode when a bird flies by me. I have been shooting lots of hummingbirds and honestly haven’t decided on the best mode as of yet.

AF C setting on the left is why the focus keeps shifting on its own 2:42 change it to single top video still. Using the HDMI so we can see.

Great videos. Do you know how to enable the focus-ring ? -- it doesn't work in any mode ( although, the zoom ring works )

What does the PP and PP 1 etc all the way up to about 9 I think? What’s it mean ?

Hi Stuart could you help please - i want to use manual focus but the image in the viewfinder keeps zooming in and i can't get a manual focus - also should i be in DMF or MF ? Cracking camera ! Thanks Stuart.

I finally bought mine

Is 3:2 use the full sensor or the 4:3?

I hope they send you a Mk5 to review - you deserve it! 😁

Is shutter priority ok for birdie.

Rx10mk4 is an amazing tool,the only thing needs to be improved is IS.

I snap many birds, but the animal eye focus hardly ever activates. Anyone have a clue?

Looking to buy a RX10IV, but afraid one week from now they will come out with the V.

I have an older RXIII and the autofocusing on it is atrociously bad but besides that it's okay for what it is.
