Helpful Posts: Continuing with my fascination with milkweeds:
I went on a walk on a nearby path a few days ago, late in the afternoon, and decided to see what I could do handheld with my R6 II. I set the aperture and shutter speed and used auto ISO to deal with the poor lighting. This was 1/30, f/10, ISO 2000. I used Lightroom's AI-based NR to clean up the shadows.

Sharp focus and any potential over exposure hot spots have been avoided.

Re: Yet another milkweed, this in situ
This look really good. You must have a much steadier hand than me. At 1/30 sec I would need a tripod to get a picture that sharp.

Re: Yet another milkweed, this in situ
Actually, my hand isn't very steady, and it's gotten noticeably less so as I get older. I was able to do this because of the combination of IBIS in the body and in-lens IS in the lens. Based on tests of other lenses with the R6 II, I think that should have been giving me 7 or 8 stops of IS. That's actually one reason I went for that particular walk. I knew it would be fairly dark, and I wanted to see whether I could do better than with my previous camera, which didn't have IBIS.
