I would like to hear some advice from d7200 bird photographers on how they set their AF for both static and in flight subjects.
Although I have been a dedicated Nikon user for a number of years now I must admit that I have never even scratched the surface of Nikons AF modes beyond single point AF-S!
Ultimately what I would like to have is my U1 and U2 settings dedicated to bird photography with U1 set for static subjects and U2 for in flight ( when the user functions are not in use I would have the camera set as I currently use it, ie single point af-s ).
FYI I have recently moved up from a d7100 with the sigma c to the d7200 with the nikon 200-500 and I am surprised by the improvement between the two set ups and am determined to make the most of my recent upgrade.
