Unfortunately I keep getting other photographs blocked from upload for "containing an embedded file" so I had to save this one in paint with the EXIF data removed but hopefully you can see the problem I'm having here. I can upload other pics from the same camera if you need more help identifying issues with the settings.

Nevermind, it still captures the EXIF data.

Here's a shot I took of the RMS Queen Mary from a boat using the same camera. It was calm weather and the boat itself was moving at leisurely pace but it still fucked up the image quality.

try increasing your aperture to f8 or f11 and see if that improves things

>>4386383
And usually the best first advice is to read the fucking manual
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/25970/Casio-Exilim-Ex-S8.html

>>4386383
Kino af

The tint is because your white balance settings are off. Try switching to auto WB.

If you're blurry in overcast sky, your aperture is too narrow or shutter too slow. Learn to use those modes.

You're not following the conversation. His point is that a shot is ruined if the back of a head is even remotely visible, regardless of whatever else is in the frame, including a face. Interesting that you'd go to autism but I don't think it's relevant. Besides, social cues aren't just a face thing.

>>4386254

I mean to be fair the 135/2 DC isn't exactly ewaste and I told myself I would either use it and if I didn't use it at Bonneville I would sell it.

That was the day the aperture in my 70-200/2.8 broke so I had to use the 135, both good lenses. I did fix the 70-200 later the next day.

>>4386382
Its photos where its ONLY backs of heads and maybe the side lol

>>4386445
>using a lens to satisfy gearfag autism instead of to take a good photo
>gearfag autism: satisfied
>good photo: not taken

>>4386465
>Its photos where its ONLY backs of heads and maybe the side lol
That's not really what sugar said in context, but I still disagree. Even without a face shot, people can represent shapes, movement, intent, etc. Capturing emotion etc is nice if done with intent, but shooting a face for the sake of itself is, as you say, just a cheap trick.

It's mostly ePeen flaunting

Yeah, buy a chance to win a price you can use to inflate your ego, that will make you take better pics for sure. They have so many categories that you are bound to win at least one of their phony awards.

I get it but it makes me too anxious to keep the screen out because I keep thinking it will break with any random hit.

No the transmitters can be charged with the power bank too through USB C. I was surprised too. The NP-F batteries can be very useful too, I agree. I think I'd mostly use NP-Fs for lighting. Even the stabilizer can be charged with a power bank and USB C connection, I think.

>>4381946
The screen is literally meant and designed to be used out. If you're so careless that having the screen out is too risky, you should not be handling a camera at all. If you're doing work, you should have insurance anyways.
I know they can, but it's not ideal, and they are literally designed for NP batteries to slot into them.
I don't know how you can look at an industry full of people using NP and V batteries, full of monitors (and infrequently transmitters) and think you know better.
At this point, not sure I can help anymore with your retardation. Get whatever shit you want and stop asking for advice, go waste your money.

>>4381952
Why are you being so aggressive over batteries and screens? Please relax. No one is trying to offend you. I'm sure you have a lot of experience and I probably could be making better decisions.

It's my first camera anyway. It'll be okay. They're just a bunch of gadgets to record and play with pictures and sounds.

And I already said I'd see if I'll use the NP-F batteries along with or instead of power banks.

But I definitely don't want the screen out. I don't need it out anyway because I'll use phones and/or monitors if I need a better view.

Your help is appreciated, but I don't agree with some things. I've literally written down most if not all the suggestions in this thread and will research accordingly while I draw some storyboards, God willing.

Very rough list. The softboxes aren't great for video, I guess. I need to do a lot more research. Any advice would be appreciated.

Do people actually manage files on the card instead of copying them first?

>>4386449
Correct, but good sooc jpegs didnt come until bionz xr and adobe still renders arw files worse than fucking darktable (it also renders .raf files like shit) so the cattle are unaware.

>>4386407
Exactly, modern cameras have merely increased the margin for error and they'll keep increasing it. Sony's 120 shots per second is another example of this, it's meant to help talentless sports photographers with barely any knowledge or understanding of the sport they're shooting to deliver something usable.

>>4386407
I cam shoot indoors and recover windows ENOUGH at ISO 3200 on FF

At base ISO its close to human vision

Now I just want a WD Purple or Red equivalent SD card honestly. I see plenty of high endurance microSD cards (because of security cameras I'm guessing) but can't really recall seeing high endurance SD cards.

For best practice, don't bother with deleting in camera, moving files around on the card, and just format regularly as part of your shooting prep. In 15 years shooting digital, I've had 3 card failures, but saw plenty firsthand working at a shop that offered recovery services. Dual slots are only necessary for wedding or other important live events, but can be nice workflow wise to split up photo and video easily.

Lens + Camera, but if you just get good at editing it doesn't matter at all (outside of having to match different systems).

If you live in the countryside, you must at least have some beautiful place to do landscape photography. Cheer up! :)

If I was able to provoke a faint feeling of nostalgia, this means my photos are not completely garbage. Thank you for your comment!

>>4386474
My ZV1 literally has the same AF performance as my Z50 and unironically better colors SOOC. Where I wasted a ton of time editing (or just slapping on the Canon 5D MK2 preset on the raw) of the Z50's pictures I usually just finding myself bumping the saturation and removing some shadows on the Sony's jpegs. I don't even feel like I need Lightroom anymore (NX Studio and free Lightroom for Android are good enough)

America has a real problem with this. And it's a problem. A big problem. We have great cameras in this country, amazing cameras, they can capture a flying bullet, and these paid marketers from foreign markets, competing markets, that steal our jobs and pollute the blood of america, they tell us these cameras are green. People, does President Trump look green to you? No, Trump is his normal shade of orange. We buy these amazing cameras from our friends in Japan, great friends, they might as well be real native born Americans like you and me and Elon Musk,.I like Japan, and these cameras are amazing folks. They can capture flying bullets. Elon Musk uses these amazing cameras. They are the best cameras on earth, and we are using them here in America thanks to Japan. God bless the USA.

If you did install DPP from bundled software CD /Canon support web, try uninstall & install from Canon support web / bundled software CD (if you still have it) instead.
My DPP is version 4.7.20.0 and no problems on on Windows 11.
For me, Darktable + Gimp can do the job but DPP is far more convenient for Canon raws. (I can use Gimp but my Darktable-fu lacks.)
