    Aperture of 1.8 is not all great

    Yes the small aperture plays a big role. However a pinhole camera also has no focusing so you could also make the argument that a pinhole camera has nothing in focus too 😂

    Aperture of 1.8 is not all great

    Ok, so I’ve so been drinking again… and now able to recall my train of thought here… I just want to start by saying, we all knew what you meant. None of this should be taken as I don’t think you know what you are talking about. I know you do, but because you corrected someone on a technicality...

    Cropping - Process or Just Wing It?

    Yea I also ment to mention I won’t hesitate to deviate from the composition rule but I guess I forgot

    Aperture of 1.8 is not all great

    Circle of confusion is right. I must have been drinking when I said that. I sound very convincing but I’m going to have to go check my math on that. But later when once I start drinking…

    Cropping - Process or Just Wing It?

    I try to follow some composition rules. For instance in photos like yours I try to use golden ratio or rule of thirds.

    How far in advance are you submitting?

    Aperture of 1.8 is not all great

    It’s actually only the physical size of the aperture opening and distance from the subject that actually determines the depth of field. F number and focal length are only relevant so far as they are used to calculate physical aperture size which is why they are on the calculator. A 15mm aperture...

    Aperture of 1.8 is not all great

    Just to drive the point home, the hyperfocal distance for both f/1.8 and f/2.8 is less than 10 feet. To call it unnoticeable is would be an understatement. As a technical photographer it just kind of amazes me how a photographer like this reviewer who charges over €6000 for a photography...

    Confused about dual native ISO

    I agree and I actually originally went into more detail about the speculation behind what DJI is doing it but thought I would shorten it for clarity. In the interest of fairness I do think we have to acknowledge that Red and Arri are using sensor tricks and software highlight recovery to...

    Confused about dual native ISO

    I don’t see any actual credible sources, official or otherwise claiming the mini 5 is dual native ISO. And to clarify, it still might be, but we need a real source for it. AI is good to help point you in the right direction but it should always be fact checked as, for example in this case, I...

    Confused about dual native ISO

    OP I think you are referring to the HDR like mode that leverages the quad Bayer sensor to give more dynamic range. Some people are calling this Dual Gain ISO or Dual Gain Output or even Dual Fusion ISO. This is different from dual native ISO so this may be the source of your confusion. If Dual...

    Confused about dual native ISO

    Look up the actual sources for that though. When I look at the sources for what AI is telling me, that’s not what it is saying at all.

    My 1st Hardware Failure, M4P

    Products in general. I’m active in a few other niche technology based interest groups and there have been several products launched recently that had an unusually high number of users complaining that the product came with faulty USB C cables

    Couldn't fly across Restricted and Authorization zones during an approved Custom Unlock fly

    In theory, since you have a custom unlock you should be able to fly within the custom unlock area even if you cross over different zones. The app may still give you the alerts that you are in a restricted area, but won’t prevent you from flying there. Auto return to home may not allow crossing...
