This was a good opportunity to test some of the functions of the A6300. The efforts by the Stannage Stunt team and the falcons were ideal subjects to test the quick and accurate focusing of the camera and the high frame rate possibility. About 900 stills and video were shot using just 2 batteries and there was no over heating of the camera despite the high temperature during the long day. All images were hand held using the Sony 18-200 zoom and for stills only extra fine jpeg's were used and for video I used 1920 x 1080 -100 fps. Very little post processing was required for the images. All focal lengths are 35mm equivalents
