Having used this camera now for a few months, I am finally getting my head around videoscoping, as well as editing video and sound. For those seriously interested in recording video I can only say that this camera is quite superb. The ability to record in 4K makes the footage all the more versatile regarding editing. I have recently invested in Final Cut Pro X which has seen a marked improvement in my editing after working with iMovie initially. Here are my latest efforts, all shot over the past couple of days...

Lastly, a couple of 1st winter Scaup, a local scarcity, filmed in terrible light at long range. The birds were 175 metres away. The camera is invaluable for long range record footage...
