    Best digiscoping camera?

    Those shots look good, Steve. It is a pity that the GX80 will not accept a remote release as it would help reduce camera shake. There is a way around it by using the camera's self-timer set to two seconds delay. That will allow just enough time for the camera to "settle" after you depress the...

    Best digiscoping camera?

    "With any luck I might still be able to use the Canon 40mm with a cheap Canon to m4/3 adapter I bought back then. The lens is a known quantity that works well with my scope, and no electronic connection is needed-just a mechanical connection between the scope and camera body. All focussing would...

    You are right, Stephen. It is a juvenile Greenfinch.

    Down load problem

As Dave suggested above, she used the free Adobe DNG converter instead to save upgrading to Elements 15. It is possible to batch convert the RAWs into TIFFs which can then be edited in 14. The TIFFs...

    Canon Pancake lenses and vignetting

    I have just noticed this post so am probably too late to be of any help. For digiscoping/videoscoping I use a Swarovski ATS80HD scope with the 20-60x eyepiece and DCA. I have a Canon 80D with EF 40mm f/2.8 STM lens which does not cause any vignetting throughout the full zoom range. The EF-S...

    SLR Video?

    Hi Alan, Glad to be of help. I hope you get some great footage with your new outfit. You may or may not be aware that the 80D, like the 7DII, will AF at f/8, this explains why you can use your converter without any focusing issues. I am sure you will be very happy with the results. If I can...

    SLR Video?

    Hi Alan, Sorry for the late reply, I have just returned from a holiday in Suffolk, would you believe! Although I do not own a 30x eyepiece, only the 20-60x zoom, I would suggest that a 24mm pancake lens would give far more vignetting than the 40mm due to its much wider field of view. The 40mm...
