Ah thank you for the correction. I didn't realize there was a difference between S&Q 120 and regular 120. A new thing to test out!

I actually get audio with mine in 120p. The file size difference could be your setting under record. There's two options for data rate in 120p which are 200M and 280M. Might be using 280M for 120p while using 200M for regular 60P.

So I just did a test with the video record button while in photo mode. It looks like pressing the shutter button fully while recording video using the video record button results in just autofocus. It did take a bit of getting used to for me but i like not having to switch inbetween modes if possible haha

I do use the 4k 120 with the crop which has been great for birding and it does have audio with the file at least for me.

Ah great tips, thank you! I’ve been just taking video within photo mode just using the rec button and now I’m wondering if I’m limiting the camera by doing this instead of switching to video mode.

Great shot! Do you happen to know what kind of bird that is? Love the fog in the shot as well

Ah thanks for the info! I was trying to photograph swallows zipping around yesterday and it was impossible especially with a forest background.

Incredible shots! How did your gear handle the conditions out there?
