The other thing is you can set the burst rate to lower, even 2.

Hi Bobo,

Not quite. The shutter opens and closes as per normal, but the mirror stays locked up (so no view finder, live view, focusing, or exposure metering while you're firing), and it has to be in JPEG mode, not RAW. It's more suited to remote activation scenarios.

Thanks for the correction Colin. My bad.

Yup, now have to be more careful about making sure not to knock the stuff around. I used to be pretty careless with the handling the equipment. Now I have to make sure that my rather rough use does not cause those around me to get hurt. :)

Awesome Pics Bobo! We will be looking for more now.

Thanks James. I am always hopeful. But it is winter back home and the opportunities will be limited.

Great shots Bobo! Love the swans - print it and frame it :)

Bobo - thought you might find some of the hints and tips here useful for bird photography ...
