Fireworks video shot with RX10 IV

[Jock Elliott]

Shot off tripod. Trees obscured part of lower sky. Had troubles with getting slo-mo to work (note to self: bring small flashlight so you can see the dials!). Need to figure how to get faster autofocus lock-on, but still, pleased with initial result.

All feedback welcome.

Cheers, Jock

I think you could probably just use manual focus and set it to infinity. But I kinda like the change of focus at some points.

Agreed. The last time I did fireworks I set it MF.

The spots of bokeh are quite nice but a bit too random. I'd go with Luke's suggestion of switching off AF and setting to infinity. You'll get everything in focus then, I think.

Figured it out. There is a fifth position on the "focus mode selector switch" that is manual only.

Cheers, Jock
