Yes, he was quite a character. That was taken about halfway to the stage. ;-) Ok, I will crank it up to ISO6400 next time. Maybe next time they will be shot with a set of prime lens. :cool: P.S. I still can't display flickr images within the post. Did I do something wrong, or its just I...

So, can someone please give advice how to make sure the images are shown in my previous post? I can't seem to find the right commands or HTML tags for it in the editor to link to the flickr URL and to make it show up. Anyway back to my experience, and again, thanks for all the great advice. So...

Sample images from Bodybuilding Competition, X-A1 on tripod with XC 50-230mm Lens Hi, all. I finally got time to sort out the pictures this weekend after copying and distributing to my friends. First off, thanks for all the great advice. Here's some samples and hope to get more comments...

Hi, all. While browsing our local specialised IT shops here yesterday, I chanced upon a few shops selling purportedly OEM Fuji batteries rated at 6000mAh battery for the X-A1! Has anyone seen or used similar such high capacity ones? The shop assistant popped it into a HS35EXR and HS50EXR and...

Thanks, Rico for the advice. Noted on switching off the OIS with tripod, I just read that in cameras with Image Stablization, without shake (like mounted on a tripod), it actually overcompensates, or misbehaves, causing image quality issues. Competition is next weekend, so wish me luck!

Thanks for the advice Lightmancer. I'd definitely bring a few SD cards and it came bundled with a second battery (I know!) Just a quick question: the guys pose on stage in various mandatory poses and unless their muscles are flexing, they are relatively still or at least they are holding...

Thanks again for the advice Rico. Btw I read somewhere about the in-camera JPEG or RAW processing. Can I use that as a tool to help in this case? Should I shoot RAW + JPEG or...? Kindly advice please.

Thanks Lightmancer. I will try to mount it on the tripod the reseller here bundled with the camera (Yes! It was an no brainer buy). I was initially going to try the 3FPS continous shooting mode which as you describe "machine gun" mode with the hope that at least a few shots come out good...

Thanks Rico for the advice. I'm quite sure the X-A1 will yield better results than my Canon SX30 so I'm keeping my fingers crossed the super bright lighting on stage helps this time rather than confuse the AF. The event is being staged indoors but in the atrium of a shopping mall so I'm hopeful...

Hi, Rico and other gurus. Could you please give your expert opinions on how best I can get good images with the Fujifilm X-A1 with the XC50-230mm zoom kit lens to be used at a bodybuilding competition? I am a newbie to mirrorless cameras, and I have been using those superzooms like the Canon...
