Here are some shots showing the DTC function after some tuning, I think I still need to dial down the jpeg sharpening a bit if used with the 300f4 but otherwise not bad.

I did run into a strange bug in the firmware, as with DTC on and shooting RAW and JPEG, the raw file white balance goes way off - I've never seen that before.

The spider shots show back to back a jpeg made from the ORF file first and then the JPEG shot and downsized on export from LR.

The first three are shot with the 300f4 with DTC, the balance with the 50-200SED with EC14, so handheld with a FOV of about 1200 or 1120.

At his point I still prefer the RAW file quality but I'm comfortable with using the DTC/JPEG if I need the reach during travel. That eliminates the need for me to carry two long lenses, reducing weight!

Comments?

Cropped from the RAW file






Shot JPEG with DTC, no crop

Damn ... the DTC shot isn't bad at all, and actually has more resolution than the cropped version - thanks to the in-camera interpolation/uprezzing. There's a tiny bit more noise but it should be easy to clean with NR. So if push comes to shove i.e. if I still don't have the reach with my 300 + TC I should not hesitate to use the DTC. Thanks for sharing this.

.... and Sync-IS. 6 or 6.5 stops of image stabilization is quite insane!

I thought you were talking about the first image posted above

In all seriousness, these look great, Bob! I have not even tried this function, so I'm now looking forward to getting out and trying it for myself

Incidentally, these camers have so many functions I don't think anyone's used them all!
