Okay --- this is a HORRIBLE VIDEO.... but who cares?! Not me... I'm watching and hearing in real time!

Just a shorty for the SOUND.... I can't figure out the cameras video with focus and zoom in or out and blah blah blah... so shut up already!

Sounds like home, have you read the manual?

Are you using Wide Area AF or Custom Setting a8 (pg 211) for video?

I'm watching qualifying right now, looks like the weather is perfect!
I've always wanted to hear (experience) F1 and MotoGP live. One of those bucket list items

175 mph top speed coming out of the tunnel with that light transition.

I read some of the manual and thought I had the settings correct but obviously not -- and since I was already up at our suite -- there was no checking to see what I messed up. I was really just trying to get the sound for the most part.. but of course would also like to get the video focusing correctly. Back in the room here now obviously so will read a bit more about it.

Run out and grab a remote microphone while you're at it!!!! You should be able to use it in the car when you get the Contour Plus too.

Give us some WeldFabulous Audio!

You know I'm struggling with serious camera envy now right?

Well the sad thing is.... that I'm nowhere NEAR the track to get some real shots... All mine will be from da top (like Commander Onatop)

This camera is SMOKIN' fast! 6 frames per second in continuous... and da big ass lens (it's HEAVY) -- a AF-S Nikkor 70-200 f2.8 VR is super quick on AF!

Some of the shots I'm using a 2X convertor and some just the lens.

Good choice on the lens.

I'm sitting here looking at camera bodies and 2.8 lenes........

Here's a bad line vs good line series....

Bad Line!

Look at the entering angle and his front wheels and then the next turn and the amount of front wheel angle and he STILL missed the apex!
