When you say ISO 100 - 1600 ... does that mean the device selects the best ISO for the conditions within the set limits?  In other words, does it self-set to 1600 under dark conditions and then decreases sensitivity when more light becomes available?  Also, what does shutter speed mean when recording video?  With film, the latency is 60 cycles/sec dictating frame rate, but how do you capture 1/30 sec exposures when that open-interval is too slow for the brain to see uninterrupted continuity?  What does shutter speed even mean in video format? 

I wish that I could offer you some constructive advise about this piece of kit but I'm entirely ignorant ... of video camera gear.  The last adjustment was certainly the better setting.  An ISO above 1600 in the city would likely show more light pollution based on still photography protocols.  If it is a GoPro camera, wouldn't it be able to send the signal to a phone so that you could mount the camera on a hand-held boom, well above your head, and view your phone's screen to compose by turning, or tipping the boom as required, using image stabilization to control jitter?  Everyone's raised cellphone is a little distracting.  Just watching your video made me think someone bumped into me.  I turned to look ... there's no one here.

 I returned to the ‘barely there’ pathway on the south end of Reesor (lower) Pond, henceforth referred to as RLP, to distinguish it from Reesor Pond in Markham, located near Reesor Rd & #407.  While RLP pond is somewhat smaller in area then the pond in Markham I believe that its main deficiency lies below water level ... it’s quite shallow.  Right now it is especially shallow.  Pond or puddle?  The bottom of the pond is boot-sucking muck (BSM).  One might be tempted to step into the shallow water with hip waders in order to acquire a better spot for photography but that would be a mistake.  Within a few steps of intrusion into those shallow waters any invading boots would be swallowed whole and escape would be impossible.
 
 I took my 1969 tripod (that’s not a model number) so that I could daisy-chain teleconverters behind my lens and see what I might capture of the kingbird nest while using manual focus and a very small iris opening.  I set a 5-second timer on my shutter so that any vibration from touching the shutter button would have time to attenuate.  I also tried a rapid burst with my hands still on the camera while just ranging the focus ring back and forth very slightly in the hope that at least one frame might actually be in critical focus.
 
While using my Canon 7D Mk II, I tried 600mm, 840mm, 1200mm and 1680mm by playing with teleconverters.  1680mm was useless and 1200mm was hit & miss (soft at best).  The sun was low and at my three o'clock position therefore creating brutal contrast.

This video is about our summer adventure at Don Valley Brick Works Park in Toronto, where I took my friend's adorable Shih-poo dog for a scenic hike filled with nature, wildlife, and refreshing watermelon treats.

Watch as this cute pup enjoys juicy watermelon slices with satisfying ASMR crunch sounds, staying hydrated during a hot summer day.

Along the trail, we had incredible wildlife encounters, including:

A Great Blue Heron catching and swallowing a whole fish right in front of us, then drying its wings on the rooftop of Evergreen Brick Works,

Giant snapping turtles swimming in algae-covered shells,

A sighting of a Black-Crowned Night Heron,

A wild cottontail rabbit hopping on the trail

We also visited the vibrant Sunday Farmers Market and admired a beautiful art installation titled "Love is Art."
