Hello there

[Otter chaser]

Not sure how this forum works but I am hoping to tap in to the wealth of experience that I suspect is on here.

I am new to digital photography but I am slowly mastering the intricacies of wildlife photography with my Sony RX10iii. However I don't have the faintest idea of how to set the camera up to photograph the Northern Lights which I am hopeful of viewing in Shetland later this month.

If anyone has used an RX10 for this purpose, I would be extremely grateful for any pointers you could give me, especially with ISO settings, focus mode and shutter speeds.

Thanks in advance
M

Hi Mark, welcome to the forum

Hello,

I've been looking at some of mine, and most are ISO400, f3.5, 10 to 20 second exposures.

Good luck with the Otters too.. and maybe Orcas if you're really lucky
