In the longer term, this technology should improve power issues.

To answer my own question - how?
Bou snaps hundreds of photos of birds in flight and stitches them together in Photoshop, compressing several seconds of movement into one frame.
Bou realized he needed to combine multiple shots, a technique that draws on the chronophotography that Étienne-Jules Marey and Eadweard Muybridge pioneered in the 19th century. It worked exactly as he envisioned.
Bou uses a variety of cameras, including a Sony F27 and Blackmagic Ursa Mini 4K, and shoots 30 to 60 frames per second. A final image might include more than 600 shots woven together into amazing patterns—the black slash of starlings, the lazy loops of storks, the frenetic lines of swifts. The shapes are as varied and beautiful as the birds that created them.

Hello
Two questions in one to save a thread.

What material should I use to build a tall vflag and where to buy it? It seems that I should go for insulation poly board but the are very tall (2400mm, 1800mm would be enough) and beq doesn't cut them

It was declared uneconomically repairable by Johnsons after it was dropped in a puddle of seawater on Whitby Beach ... (snip ) .. But after they gave up and returned it to me without screwing the bottom baseplate back on. I can only assume it dried out in the post as it all works perfectly now except the focus point red square dosnt appear in the view finder... Or the crop rectangle when using crop mode. So my insurers are replacing it.. (snip)
If your camera or phone etc. falls into water and you think that it has got inside, wipe the outside dry then put the item inside a bag of rice for 24 hours. The rice will suck any moisture out of the air in the bag and hence from the item.
If salt water has got inside, then it may still need attention (cleaning) as the salt can corrode the electrics and cause short circuits.

I thought that the DNG format was generic. If so, wouldn't many of the free tools work with it?
Also, wouldn't any newer version of Silkypix (https://silkypix.isl.co.jp/en/) handle the K-5's files?

Amazon warrantee is 1 yr as against Pentax Pro dealers where it is 2 years - might be a factor
If so, I assume that repairs under warranty might be an issue. What else?
I have just submitted the question to Amazon.
