Wi-Fiリモート撮影テスト

1D X とモバイルルーターを使った無線LANで遠隔撮影を試してみましたが、肝心のアカショウビンが2回しかこなかったのでテスト不足。この時期サウナだけど、ブラインドに入って撮った方が楽しいのは間違いない。^^;

200mmでやる意味はあまり無かったとは思っています。やるなら広角で寄った写真ですね。

I can also control the focus remotely from my MacBook Air using EOS Utility 3, but the bird didn't come often enough for that to matter.
