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.

It has the right picture profiles including S-LOG 2, 3 and Hybrid Log Gamma for HDR work. To shoot in several record modes you can use...
Portrait collection
A small collection of spontaneous portraits I have shot over the years with a variety of cameras. From the Olympus TG4, RX100, Canon 5DIII, to the Sony A6500 and A7RII. Using crazy lenses like the Nikkor 55mm F1.2, Canon 100mm F2.8 Macro or just your basic 70-200mm zoom.
