Yes it's happened to me with my M6 many a time and it's the touch screen, you could in camera menu (spanner 3) disable touch operation but then you cant make touch screen changes, what I've done" camera menu (camera 1) shooting information/ toggle setting/custom setting 1, uncheck shooting info, (1) I have grid displayed, then in custom setting 2 uncheck shooting info and I only have Electronic level.
In shooting mode you will see the screen info for a second and then info clears, hope this helps

Good catch! I haven't tried my Sigma on the M50 yet, does it work well?

Anyone with the M6 Sigma 150-600 also works well.

I found one on amazon warehouse " damaged box" for £465. with the "kit lens"
(I've bought stuff from the Amazon warehouse before and its been better than described).
Its supplied by Sold by Amazon EU S.a.r.L. so I doubt I'll get the £60 cash back ( Although I'll try :D )
But at that price Its no big deal if I don't.

Well that was a bit of a result. As above I doubted that I'd get the £60 cash back, even less so when I read all the T&C's "must be new" or some such and the e.receipt from
Amazon clearly stated "used" (I'm sure it wasn't).
I gave it a try yesterday, anyway. I just received confirmation that my claim has been approved and the £60 will be paid into my account in 4-6 weeks (y)

Thanks Jim, it was also lit with red torch light. I usually use my 7d2 and the 18-135, just decided to try the 4k option out with crops from the is to get me a slightly 'closer' image. Wish I had an f2.8 lens to film them or an f4 would help. Also would like something with better manual focus than the 18-135 which is really hard work with this lens.

A bit of video from the m50 and 18-135.

4k video was used as was the dynamic is, giving the big crop.
Manual focus
max 4k iso of 6400
brightened a bit in premiere elements 12.
uploaded to youtube in 1080 as no 4k support in my software.

Thanks Keith, it was actually tripod mounted, causing me to think it might introduce issues with the is, but that appears to be a myth. I had lens is on and then the enhanced digital is on in camera.
 
Anyone excited for the M6 II? Bump in resoloution, speed and a few other tricks like eye-AF in 4K

Not keen on it having no built in EVF, the M5 MKII will be mine though .... :snaphappy:
Click to expand...

Yeah same here, couldn't be doing with no evf. Can see people fancying it for travel though. If the specs are anything to go by then the M5 II should be pretty sweet
 
Oh don't bloody start you two, I've only just bought the M50 :p
 
I finally got a half decent one (y)
Common Darter ( I think ) resting on Cordyline next to my pond.

Yeah I definitely think the one I uploaded is a TS. On the spider above, how to distinguish between a Cross spider and your average Orb weaver [I tend to call all of this type of spider a weaver, they're everywhere right now too!] - before anyone says 'it'll look angrier' :D but seriously how to tell?

Yes, that one you posted is a Small Tortoiseshell. Garden cross spider is the most common orb web spider. Thankfully there is a great uk spider group on facebook full of experts for when I can't remember what they are called!

Here is a much smaller one, again m50 and sigma 105

And this is a metallina sp

Nice one, cheers. I'm seeing both of these and the larger ones I just call Orb weavers - some of them casting great webs around the bushes and it's fun to watch them stringing up prey on them - especially if it's a wasp!
