Not only does it shoot at 1080p, if you drop to 720P there is a mode to shoot at 60 fps. With the snow on the ground today, it was too good an opportunity to miss testing the 60fps, by taking the dogs for a walk.

Here are the results played back at 1/5th speed (warning HD so you need decent bandwidth or just hit “pause” for a while).
I have to say I’m impressed with the results.

    This portrait was taken in Cheltenham, using just a single light, to add some drama to the end portrait.

    When your subject is wearing glasses be extra careful with the positioning of the studio light, to avoid glare.   I usually find you need to place the light that little higher than normal, or ask the subject to lift the arms of the glasses just a tad off their ears, causing the glasses to point down slightly, thus avoiding glare.

    The final portrait was toned in Sepia to add some warmth.
