Hi, i was wondering of you have updated to version 2.02 since this? If you have are there any issues or performance changes? I'm having issues with the 200-600 not being recognised occasionally and 2.02 is supposed to fix this Thanks

Thank you. On 2.02 When viewing images in playback mode there is a icon overlay that is virtually telling you if you press the playback button again while you're in that mode you can go back to shooting. Um... It's a professional camera, why does one need an distracting icon to tell them that they can go back to shooting by pressing a playback button when one can just press the shutter button. Is there any way to get rid of that distracting icon? Sometimes it covers up one of my subjects eyes. And it really kills the vibe when showing clients photos you have taken.

Apologies, but you are speaking very fast - hard to understand ...

Different prospective with a drone 👍

Hi - can you point me in the direction of the eyecup eyepiece you put on the RX10? TY.

Stuart - you may have the best and most extensive channel for the Rx-10IV...TY for the info and insight. I've researched the heck out of cameras over the last month for an upcoming trip next July to Svalbard. Norway (arctic expedition cruise). Honestly, I’ve spent over 100 hours reviewing YT videos (and every comment) on everything out there… I don't own any "proper" camera right now. I recently bought and returned the Nikon Z8 (way too complicated and with the lenses that I'd need to cover the focal lengths I’d need will set me back $6,500). Leave that to the Pros. I also bought and returned the Sony A6700 which seemed like a kid's toy in my hands and I didn't like the rangefinder style. The Sony RX10IV really looks like it truly fits the bill for what I need. I’m convinced that to get any current good camera that will give you this range of focal length whether FF, APS-C or 4/3 including “decent” tracking AF, shutter speeds >10fps, at least 20MP and 4K30 - you’re going to spend around $1800-$2000 for the body alone. The used market for a camera in exc. condition doesn’t save you much. Add the minimum 2 lenses you’ll need (24-120) and (200-600) to cover all ranges and that costs an additional $2,500. In for $4,200-4,500. This camera checks all the boxes at $1,700 NITB USA stock (I got mine brand new USA model for $1,450). My biggest concern was low light capability and reduced bokeh. When this model was released the post editing software was just coming of age. The top complaints when reviewed (back in 2018) was low light noise and poor bokeh control. I think the proliferation of software like Topaz Denoise, Adobe LR and/or Luminar Neo takes care of these concerns handily. If they just upgraded the chip to increase buffer (then add CFexpress) and AF subject detection and left everything else as is - there’d be NO reason for any casual user, hobbyist or enthusiast to buy anything else. At $2,000 today it would literally own the market… But IMHO we’ll never see a RX-10 V. Never. UNLESS: Some smart marketing guy over at Sony runs the numbers and realizes that they’ll steal the under $3000 market from EVERY competitor not just Sony users (who they’re afraid to lose right now) and they’ll blow out unit sales in the millions. This is the “every man’s” Swiss Army Knife of cameras - after his smart phone of course! The 30+ crowd with their kids just starting soccer and the over 65’s doing their bucket list traveling or just getting started with bird/wildlife watching…

Wild shot in the dark here, but just in case you’ll check old video’s comments, I’m just curious the rough dimensions of the strap when it’s folded up. Even the rough dimensions of the pouch it comes with would be useful, since I’m trying to figure out if it’ll fit where i want it to.

Definitely worth getting up early in order to get shots like that. I’m beginning to miss my RX10, but it’s too late for that now. Superb video . Thank you. x

Beautiful countryside. Very calming . Thank you. x

Nothing better getting up early and get a image at a magical time if you lucky you get red glow rise the sounds and fresh air rx 10 still worth it no sign off mk 5😮😂

Awesome is definitely the right word.

excellent stuff

I used mine yesterday and it locked onto the eyes of wild cats from around 25ft. Great camera rx10

Ps minimum focal length on Sigma is only 582mm :)

Still very happy with my RX10 IV - it is a very well judged compromise. Of course there are setups that can vastly outclass it in every field but unless you have a team of porters to carry around the gear and hand you the right one for each job on demand there is not much else that has the breadth of capability of this camera.

Beautiful work! I love your RX10 IV videos. I have 3 ILCs but the RX10 IV has still been my main photography workhorse since I got it 3 1/2 years ago. Have you done or would you consider doing a complete RX10 IV videography introduction for videography beginners (or maybe for photographers who use this camera and are looking to start videography)? I understand if that's too much to cover in one video. In particular: What settings do you use in what circumstances and what do the settings mean? How do you process the videos?

Love the misty sunrise drone shot

A camera before its time and still a classic. Great shots!

Very nice, especially with the sun rising.

Was a really good early morning worth getting up for

The birds are curlew and skylark

Stuart that was a swift so a great effort with the Rx10mk4. They are incredibly fast as you know. The first bird on post was a Skylark and the wader was a Curlew. A good day my friend👍

I bought mine 3 years ago on your advice and it has been great, l also have an OM1 but I intend to take the RX 10 iv on holiday to the Kimberley Western Australia , as my only camera , the autofocus is still fantastic, subject detect on the newer cameras does not always translate to an in focus image. The RX 10iv is the perfect travel camera, compact, light and easy to use,

I still have zero intention of moving from my RX10IV I bet if Sony could go back in time they would have never released it! It's one of those rare devices which is way too good, so good that it threatens their entire suite of pro cameras. I spent 12 months hoping for a version V and then came to realise that as an all rounder there is little that can be done to better it! Yes a bigger sensor, yes AI, yes true macro but honestly, as an all rounder, it's just about perfect and still amazes me every time I use it.

What shutter do use for flying birds ? Mechanical or electronic? Thanks ❤

Very relaxing if you are not on board working 👍

My A7 IV has problems with the lens/focus settings. Occasionally while using it, it suddenly chooses to be an idiot and no longer "sense the camera lens" so all focus options are grayed out and stuck on "manual focus" (manually focusing with the lens during this time does not even work.. its as if the lens Is not even there.) And there is NO explanation for it, I hardly find anyone with the same issues so I don't see a way to fix it. I am so annoyed. I've brought it to a local Sony repairs shop but they could not recreate the issue because it was gone when I brought it. It comes and goes at random and it is extremely stupid.. any ideas?

The yellow car you were wondering about is a “Legends” race car, made in the USA since the early 1990s and now sold all over the world …

Can you use it for video?

Would be interested in comparing this same test on an M4 iPad Pro.

So you had fungus on the front element? It seems like a common problem. I saw several RX10 m1 on eBay with a lot of fungus. I was considering getting a rx10m2 or m4 used. But it is troubling that so many develop fungus. It supposedly is a weather sealed lens assembly. It should not happen.

Test sony a 6400

I’m new with this camera and I want to try bulb timer, but when I’m in photo mode, manual mode, single shooting, my exposure only goes down to 48.0 and when I continue turning the dial, the bulb timer does not appear. I have set my bulb timer to “on” and exposure time to 100 seconds. What am I not doing correctly? Please help.

Hi Stuart. I’m a long time RX10 iv user. I also have a full frame Sony kit but seem to always grab the RX10. I’ve found that the recent AI advancements that improve noise reduction and “create”bokeh remove two of the RX10’s biggest weaknesses as compared to full frame. I wonder if you agree or would consider a video on this topic. Thanks, I enjoy your videos.

So relaxing just to watch those waves. Still getting to grips with the 6700. and missing the RX10. Very enjoyable footage . Thank you. Will Tommy be making another appearance soon ? x

Hi very good video, can i use v60 xcII sd card for simple 4K not 120p video on a6700 or need to buy v90?

Thank you Stuart … ‘new subscriber … I own an A1 & ‘just did the 2.01 Update - I’m having trouble figuring out how to Customize buttons! - Any suggestions?

What are you actually trying to teach us? Reading menys and guessing.

I just bought an RX10 IV, super happy after 2 days of use (still learning, only used phones before). All your videos have helped me loads, so thanks for that! But this video.. have my stuff in it, cars, engines and so on. Just had to comment on the nice pictures/videos taken, all of them. But I LOVE the Team Hard VW CC touring car.. sound of it is amazing. I own an Passat CC -09 VR6 myself. Well done

Hi so basically no new firmware in 2024, seriously @sony

You need to learn how to use the flash. These shots look awful. Unless you're shooting these at night?

I originally bought an Apecase ACPRO600 for this camera. It's a very tight fit. You need to reverse the hood, wrap the strap around the lens and place the camera in the bag a certain way but it fits. It saves a lot of space especially if you're travelling on a plane etc. It fits in a rucksack. However I also got a 140 AW II to store it in with accessories and for shorter trips.

Hello, i know you normally shoot on manual, but were you shooting in Macro mode, OR Manual mode in this video? I've had this camera for a couple of months. There's so much to learn, but trying to take it day by day. I've found Macro is not true Macro on the M4. I watch a lot of your videos, which help so much. Thank you!

What is DRO auto and what deffrence taken off?

Great video. I have got the same setup as you, but still nervous about exploring manual mode...I really need to bite the bullet so to speak and go for it.

So your power bank can power the camera without battery ?

Great video. I also still love my RX10IV. You could just add a bit of warmer light to the last one.
