WOW! It turns out the A9.3 is a much more interesting camera than I thought it would be.
When I shot this deer
I noticed how smooth the GIF animation clip was without aligning the images first in order to eliminate the unsteadiness with which the camera was held during shooting.
Next I have this sample of doves sitting or landing in an Apricot tree.
Please note the violent shaking of the tree branches after the dove has landed.
Why is that?
And now the Rosetta Stone GIF animation clip explaining this A9.3 feature.
This image sequence was shot when it was very windy.
Please note the clip starts out very smoothly, intermittently the branches are pretty vigorously blown around, and the clip ends very smoothly again.
It turns out the at the beginning and ending of the clip images were shot at 120 FPS, while in between the images were shot at a rate of 6 FPS as the camera had filled up its buffer of 192 images.
My take on this behavior is simply that motions, either in the environment to shakiness of hand holding the camera of order 1/10 of a second are too long to be noticed at an order of magnitude shorter time scale that the A9.3 can operate on when it has not run out of buffer space.
However at a shooting speed of 6 FPS this time scale is comparable to human reaction times or slow motions in the environment.
I am having a blast with this camera!!!
