The NHS is primarily an after thought for anyone from 20's to early 50's. It's in the twilight years that the service is seen as something essential. Like everything else 'why worry about something that doesn't affect me'. What I'm trying to say is live for now and sod tomorrow is todays mantra...

I had so much gas I've listed all my photography gear on fleabay. I've had enough of constantly buying and selling, moving from one brand to another to reduce weight / cost etc.

Mistaken identity

https://www.canonrumors.com/canon-is-looking-to-partner-with-a-smartphone-manufacturer/ So not only Sony... Although the rumor site doesn't see merger the same way (smart mirrorless).

Burying you head in the sand is not going to mean that technology stops marching on. Nobody is forced to move from film to digital (DSLR) or to mirrorless. Many do to take advantage of 'extras' that these latest systems bring such as eye focus or tracking. I don't follow anyone on YT. I do...

"... the Titan’s forward viewport only certified it to a depth of 1,300 metres. The Titanic wreck lies 3,800 metres below the ocean surface." Reminds of the Prince song - Sign of the times (more money than sense).

Interesting video Mike - do you photograph events or wildlife?

No. And, a bit of explanation - started with Canon 5D (works camera) before getting Canon 5D2 which was traded for 5D3 then 6D over a period of 5 years. Then changed over to Nikon D750 for 2 years. Then, Canon R6 (big mistake - explanation at end). Then, stopped photography full-time so sold...

I've always used auto-iso and manual mode when the light or environment light is constantly changing. Events where it's moving quickly from bright outside to dark'ish in-doors - this is where auto-iso is useful for me. I use flash to add a bit of fill rather than change the lighting (of rooms /...

I need to go through a few videos to setup the camera I thinks. It's so different from what I am used to using!

Is it possible to assign the joystick to move the focus point?

I'm having difficulties changing where the camera is focusing. I know it's probably me... Used Canon R6 then the Olympus M4/3 cameras previously and never had these types of issues. I covered a small function (1k odd guests) and the camera picks up faces but decides which face / eye to focus...

Hi Phil, I used the C version on the R6 without issues at 600mm. Never pulsed or anything...
