Sony ILCE-1 + FE 400mm F2.8 GM OSS • f/2.8, 1/3,200 s, ISO 250.
Earlier this week, while helping a neighbor and friend with her A1 camera (exposure dial was sitting at an angle very loosely and seemed a bit damaged) the Cooper's Hawk was visiting again the water dish. It was lingering for at least an hour and a half at or in its "bath tub" or in the Juniper Tree/Bush next to it, preening its feathers. In these 90 minutes I had shot intermittently with my A1 about 6,000 frames and filled up both of my 160 GB - Sony CEA-G160T 160GB CFexpress Type A Memory Card (CEAG160T) - memory cards for a total of 320 GB.
On average each compressed raw file was about 55 MB in size.
So 55*6000/1000 = 330 GB,
in line with the total storage capacity of my 2 memory cards.
But how many of those 90 minutes could I actually document with images shot at 30 FPS.
So that's 6000/(30*60) = 3 minutes and 20 seconds coverage of the 90 minute elapse time.
In other words, for about 86 minutes and 40 seconds of those 90 minutes elapse time the A1 wasn't shooting images - provided my math is correct. Enough of this.
As one can see from the image above, the Hawk is standing on its right foot, its left foot tucked away in its feathers. This becomes a bit clearer from a short video animation I made from a few of m1 A1 images.

Will photoshop let you put a 0.03s or 0.04s pause between frames on the 30fps one? It seems like they play too quickly. They are great tho.
Thanks Jesse, dunno.
I am not a Photoshop user.
So are you implying that Photoshop can generate gif files from a number of jpg images?
That actually would be quite handy.
