Why is my GX9 randomly shooting JPG instead of RAW (and a few other questions)? (Crossposted with r/M43, and sorry this is a long one) I never thought I’d be birding with a 50mm equiv. xD xD I normally shoot a Canon R5 with big lenses, but realized along the way that I rarely take it out anymore because of the size…. So I bought my first m43 camera (Lumix GX9) a couple of weeks ago. This morning, I went for a walk around …

Can You Help – Dark Areas No Data Once Uploaded? Hey Gang, I upgraded LR and PS at the same time I purchased a Nikon Z8, so I’m not sure if the issue is with LR, PS and/or the Z8 setting(s) or some combination. When shooting with the Nikon D810 and uploading to an older version of LR (version was at least 3+ years old), I would make basic adjustments in LR, then move to PS for skin retouching…

This is for a telephoto prime lens, so there’s no moving zoom parts. I know a lot of people use water covers for situations where…
