Slowmotion: HFR mode with the RX10IV (updated)
Slow-motion its like magic Slowing down time has always been something magical and for a long time, it was only available in expensive cameras. Even half the speed already makes a simple scene more interesting. Back in 2009, I shot my first slow-motion short, the only option was 720P but the result still feels like a bit of magic even today. Shot with the Sony EX3 and Letus 35mm adapter using Nikkor lenses to get the 35mm shallow...
Sunset with the RX10IV: AuroraHDR 2018 and Adobe Camera raw.
RX10IV raw Adobe has just released an update to camera raw so now it is possible to open the RX10IV raw files. Previously it was only AuroraHDR 2018 that would read them, but this did give me strange lens fault: edges of the sensor and all that unwanted stuff.

RX10IV first photos
Image gallery of the very first shots I took with the RX10IV. No raw conversion so these are mostly straight out of the camera with the occasional crop ad little tweak. Also included are 100% crops to show the noise pattern and bokeh.
RX10 IV: Set phase detection on stun
Sony RX: The 1inch sensor to rule them all Years ago I bought the original RX100, replacing the Lumix LX3, a very nice little camera but it had terrible video.

Not the prettiest colours in the world, but excellent dynamic range, which is why it makes for a great BW...
RX10 IV: Lord of the Zoom
Shooting a little surf video impression with the RX10 IV. So this is the 4K on factory default, no tweaking and both AF and white balance on full auto. This is shot in pretty windy conditions without a tripod and despite some jittering even at 600mm (220mm real lens size) 35mm equivalent. All things considering: the image is pretty good and I would say usable for jobs. It does remind me a bit of the EX3: it is a bit video but has a...
