So how do I see an accurate distance to the subject in the image metadata?

Oh, you want the camera to tell you? Well, that's kind of out there. Good luck.So how do I see an accurate distance to the subject in the image metadata?
Why does it matter, other than out of interest? What do you hope to gain?Good grief... Yes, that was the intent - since I'm using a camera to capture an image of something a distance away, I want the metadata in the image to tell me how far the subject was, or at LEAST accurately tell me where the camera decided to focus.
I often shoot the larger birds at 200-300 metres away and even further on a 24 megapixel camera but note some people say they do not get decent results at that range, so please post up your likes, dislikes, issues, and thoughts on the lens in real life use, please reference camera bodies you use it on so members can see thanks people in advance
I'm not sure what distance that is, since I've been told there's no way to get an accurate distance to subject for the camera
Whoever told you that is a moron.
Most of us do that by experience instead of depending on an electronic genie. You've been bitching about the same thing for months. One would think that by now you'd have it sorted out to some reasonable degree. If you haven't gained a better understanding at this point, you probably won't.The OP talked about distances of 200 - 300 meters and implied they got sharp results "some people say they do not get decent results at that range". In my reply I indicated I do NOT get sharp results at long distances, but DON'T KNOW the precise distances - whether 200 meters or closer. Which was when the "legendary member" followed with:
And THAT would be why it matters... What I'd HOPE TO GAIN is a better understanding of the range at which the camera/lens combination STOPS being effective.
I dont want to be unhelpful but is it possible that you have actually bought the flagship camera as you call it and a half decent zoom lens and assumed that the combination would make up for bad technique or lack of understanding, it is fact is very likely you are the weak link and the kit is getting the blame, you never post images and we dont care if they are good or bad but no one on here can help if indeed that is what you want? I actually think you are calling us out on our results so let me point out it is you that is unhappy, plenty of people have your combo and seem to make it work, the question on camera to subject distance may in fact not be an issue as you say you have no idea on that, well one metre is approximately 39.5 inches so 3.3 feet roughly in American, and 200 metres is roughly 659 feet, this I do all day long for my job and can switch between the two in my sleep I believe an American football pitch is about 360 feet but I could be wrong, this at least might help youThe OP talked about distances of 200 - 300 meters and implied they got sharp results "some people say they do not get decent results at that range".

quite a few on youtube have had a play with it for about a monthIf you mean the Nikon 180-600 z lens, it isn’t available yet, so how can you tell it is softer in sharpness?

And what did people say about it Andrew?quite a few on youtube have had a play with it for about a month
search youtube for " nikon 180-600mm "And what did people say about it Andrew?
I did a search and found several, but I'm not sitting through a 20min video to learn the attributes of a lens I have no intention of buying. It'd be nice if someone who had could give us the Reader's Digest version.search youtube for " nikon 180-600mm "
Thanks.I did search but no none seems to have a final version of the lens and most say that right away.
We have one on pre order and will hopefully get it soon and can judge for ourselves.
Sorry if I derailed this thread.
No we need to know what is out there and what is comingI did search but no none seems to have a final version of the lens and most say that right away.

I love it! I hope you guys never hang wallpaper together!Absolutely not jumping ship. We are a multi-brand household and hate each others brand choice.
You remind me of a short silent film I saw once where two people were hanging wallpaper - they started on opposite walls and hung different colours - then noticed what each other were doing... It was funny. Final shot of the room showed two opposing walls hung with different colours and the two walls between papered in stripes.I love it! I hope you guys never hang wallpaper together!
