Sony RX10 1V the new boy.
Hi Josh. Its a frustrating process! Are you using the Camrote app? Once I installed this on my phone I was able to download straight to phone, but its still a bit hit and miss. Cheers Mike -
Sony RX10 1V the new boy.
I've posted some more shots with these settings here. One thing to note - the +1.7 exposure adjustment works well for BiFs against the sky, but not so much against less bright backgrounds. I put that question back to the poster of the original settings and he agree, suggesting a lower +0.9 as... -

That's what I like about it GiG - I don't need to change anything - just press the button! One serious BiF expert even does it the other way round - his default setting is for BiF, and he presses the button to activate the perched bird setting. Western Tanager - One more thing I found helpful... -

Hi Western Tanager On the left side of the lens on the RX10iv is the focus hold button. I have programmed the camera so that when I press this button my BiF settings are activated. When I release the button it goes back to my perched birds set-up. This works well for me in the field, but I do... -

I finally got the RX10iv in early December and have been enjoying learning about its fantastic BiF-ability - to coin a truly ugly word. Having taken a few decent but unexceptional BiF shots of an Eastern Marsh Harrier at Mai Po that hinted at what might be possible the shot below of a Japanese... -

Sounds like an amazing trip Robert! Any chance you might produce a trip report or show some of your highlight pix? Cheers Mike -

After four long years of Mark IV envy my RX10iv is now in action. I'll start slowly with the regular birds before moving to BiF. Some initial shots from the fist couple of days below: Chinese Blackbird Crested Mynah Black-crowned Night Heron x 2 and just for fun, a neighbour's dog Cheers Mike -

Many thanks for the confirmation Malcolm. I have indeed seen that card prices can be eye-watering, and since my RX10ii died because we both fell into a pond the risk of instantly losing everything is all too apparent! Cheers Mike -
Sony RX10 1V the new boy.
Card selection for RX10iv I have just about to receive a new RX10iv as an upgrade to my well used RX10iii and am trying to decide whether to simply transfer the old 90Mb/s card or upgrade to one of the fast new cards. I did findI a hit the buffer when taking BiF with he RX10iii and the old... -
Sony RX10 1V the new boy.
I cahnged up from the SX50 to the older RX10iii and was delighted with the improved image quality, better viewfinder and ability to control how I took my pictures. It it twice the weight of the canon but half or less the weight of any mirrorless setup, never mind dslr. Having dunked my RX... -

Here's another useful tool for some basic settings - a YouTube video by a South African bird photographer that goes through some of the settings in the camera and also for editing in light room. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQdnynpEmgQ Cheers Mike -
Sony RX10 1V the new boy.
Those Gannet pix are terrific Chris S. I've been waiting several year for my RX10iii to give up the ghost so I can upgrade to the RX10iv in good conscience. Some COVID deals have had me considering Sony's micro 4/3 route, but double/triple the cost and weight cools my ardour every time I go... -
Sony RX10 1V the new boy.
I upgraded from the SX50 to the RX10iii and have found the clear image zoom perfectly adequate for record/ID purposes. There is a reduction in image quality, but if the purpose is ID rather than display then this should not be an issue. It's also worth remembering that with the bigger sensor of... -
Sony RX10 1V the new boy.
On the RX10iii - and likely on the RX10iv - video clips are stored separately on the camera and need to be downloaded separately from the photos. I do it by connecting the camera to my computer by cable and searching the files through the finder function on my mac. Please see the attached... -
Sony RX10 1V the new boy.
Would you upgrade from a RX10iii to a RX10iv? I have had my RX10 iii for almost 2 1/2 yrs and have been delighted with it as a significant upgrade from the Canon SX50. In aweeks’s time I am heading to Hokkaido for Steller’s Sea Eagles (and hoping for some decent bird in flight shots) and am... -
Sony RX10 1V the new boy.
Some of the hardcore photographers see DPreview Sony cybershop forum fix the aperture for the RX10iii at F4 with a min shutter speed of 1/250. I am trying this. There are also a few sample of birds in flights and other bird pix taken with the RX10Iv coming through on the same forum. Cheers Mike -

Here's some samples Steve of the RX10iii (not iv) in low and adverse light. http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=328256 post 5 pic 3 and post 7 especially may help. I've posted a few more below. Cheers Mike -

Hi John I bough the Sony RX10iii because I wanted to improve on the image quality I was getting with the Sony SX50HS, which has the reach and the smaller sensor, and I have been delighted that I did so. Cheers Mike
