    • I'm curious to know how that turns out. That kind of magnification requires near-perfect conditions for decent results.
    • Thanks for your comments. I'm looking forward to mounting the ils to a fd 500mm mirror lens which will sit on a sky watcher mount for moon shots. i could add in a 2x teleconverter but i prefer a 1.4 converter. They just seem to have an edge to me. Which is something i don't have at the moment.  Isn't it ironic, how companies decide on how to implement features. Some critical thinkers might go with the word crippled but i like to be more polite usually. 
    • Honestly i thought i was generalizing, i don't believe i was accusing you of piracy. Apologies to you, if you thought that.  Well not a music concert but we just had kylie Minogue do the half time entertainment at the afl grand final. I would expect out of the 100 000 crowd probably 95000 filmed that section with their smart phones. I doubt any of them would be accredited, I would have too, if i'd been there... 🥰 Hopefully the emoji displays properly as i been having issues with those little suckers.. I presume there would be licencing agreements and financial arrangements between the afl and tv stations about video copyright. I suppose neither group like the idea of having potentially a 100 000 smart phones or a smaller amount of cameras at the event but there's probably not much that can be done about it within reason. I could certainly see them getting agitated at someone wandering in with a 600mm lens without prior arrangement and i don't have a problem with that. I suspect a 600mm lens comes under "professional use" rather normal use or casual use.  Personally i can see three use cases, for cameras at events, maybe you can think of more. 1) I can show my friends and family without issue that i was there having a good time 2) I could take a ten second selfie of my ugly mug and a very small pixelated kylie strutting her stuff in the background for a vlog, again no real issues.  3) I could conceivably somehow sneak a small monopod, a modern mirrorless camera with two forms of stabilization and a 10 times zoom and have at it, without paying a large chunk of money to either company and reproducing it on my social medium of choice. How to make money out of it, i have no idea. Maybe its not about the money, it could be the likes i guess or even giving the finger to the establishment. What people do and why, continues to amaze me at times. But i think we could both agree, due to intent, option 3 is wrong (probably on many levels) Initially i read this and had no idea what you were alluding to. Blame linguistics. semantics, continental drift..  In hindsight i missed the emoji as it didn't display for me properly, i now suspect what you said was tongue in cheek, it seems i misunderstood your meaning and jumped to the wrong conclusion, which may have led to the piracy issue you raised, sorry about that.   Any time there is money involved or to be made, people are going to get antsy if they think their missing out. I suspect if you hosted an event free or otherwise and were the only person organised to cover that event and expected a financial return from publishing online and i rock up with my 8k gopro on a gimbal and wave it around and you find my video online for a small fee or even free later that evening, you'd be a little agitated, your not going to give me a medal.  
    • For me it works on Sony ZV-E1 without external USB power with HDMI connection only. In fact it is the only camera I tried that can do this. I don't think there is something special with the connection between the camera and the EVF. The EVF has a very small button that controls the brightness of the screen. I've noticed that it works only after certain level of brightness is reached. Try increasing the brightness of the EVF LCD and see if this can make it work.
    • some client work i did this year that switches between nicer video camera - iphone and minidv:  i think the artifacts from minidv are really cool in an age of constant video recordings from phones and mirrorless cameras. the built in super long zooms on these old camcorders are also super useful.
