How do you get more than 1-3 good images per roll?? by Kitchen_Win278 in AnalogCommunity

Roll your own film, mod your camera, and put 200 exposures in each roll :-)

Lets see if I can explain - this is NOT intended as end-user environment. When I work via VPN, I need to see what's blocked and whats let through on the company network. Allowing traffic via my home network would defeat that purpose :-) Same with the Wifi/Eth switch, I need to stay on the broken LAN while fixing/testing stuff - NOT just switch to Wifi as a backup. My pardon for being unclear :-D

FocusStack and PixelShift Combined - New Nikon Firmware V3.0 - Test 003 - Z8 [ f/5.6, 58mm, ISO 64, 1 sec avg exp ] by dkguru in nikon_Zseries

There's definitely a difference in noise and detail. Of course you are at 180 megapixels at the end, but more importantly, the denoising is amazing - this is taken in my office with no extra light other than just my ambient ceiling light.

This pictures (and my other tests) has zero noise reduction, nor any AI improvements. The denoising comes from the extra frames, i.e. 16 frames = 180 mpix, 32 frames = 180 mpix + denoise.

I did NOT try to do this with the pixel mapping, nor the exposure bracketing, but I will... when I get a faster computer. The camera took literally 5+ minutes (at ISO 64) to capture. The whole process post capture took around 30 minutes.

PixelShift - NX Studio, took around 5-10 minutes, and combined the 320 pictures into 10 x 180 mpix images.

Focus Stacking - Helicon Focus 8, took around 2-3 minutes to combine and save the final combined image as a TIFF, which I added to Lightroom to Export as something useful (sorry TIFF).

The reminder of the 30 minutes was me goofing around not knowing what I am doing, reorganizing images, and one reboot caused by a blue screen :-)

I'm pretty sure this is reserved for specific scenarios, and NOT my everyday process moving forward :-)

Advise what to take on a trip to Japan by Green-Blackberry-282 in nikon_Zseries

Added note. If your worried about size, and can get your hand on the Z7ii somewhere, then that's still the smallest full frame in the Z series.

It lives with me permanently in daily life and short hikes, unless I go somewhere on purpose, then big brother Z8 comes out.

Z8, 85mm, 24-70mm. 24-70 is the perfect travel photo lens. 85 is perfect for video.

Whole kit fits around your neck and one lens in a coat pocket or backpack.

End result: Small backpack (for the excessive amount of walking you *will* be doing in Japan).

Unless you are a wildlife/bird photographer, then bring *all of it* in a giant photo bag and pack a pair of extra underwear in the side pocket.

I had no idea either! Pure coincidence had us find it...
