Wow, excellent presentation Ka Mastah! The video really shows the graceful motion of the bird in flight and it's precise maneuvers in the low level flight scenes. :-)

Thanks, Ka Bobby! I'm excited to go out and bird again, this time mostly filming BIFs. This superzoom's AF and video capability are unbelievable.

Very nice video, Romy. How to make slow motion film? Also very nice background music.

Thanks, Tateo-san!

You need to shoot video at 60 fps or faster so you can slow the footage down later when editing.
