[QUOTE="ckqualls, post: 837014, member: 44619"] Camera: Z6III with firmware 2.0 My first time with Auto Capture. I looked at Nikon's reference guide on Auto Capture. Auto Capture Settings: Motion (only) set from all directions Speed 1, Size 1 Rec. Time Off (I think this is for video?) Wait 3 seconds I'm trying to photograph birds in a ground bird feeder. Attached photo is from another shoot, shows only part of the feeder. I'm using a 200-500mm at 200mm, camera is about 20-25 feet from feeder. In the auto capture set-up, the entire feeder is in the viewfinder. Feeder fills the viewfinder. Should I use a shorter focal length and get more outside the zoomed-in feeder (to capture motion)? Camera is manual, 1/640 at f11. I was looking out the window with camera set up and saw birds in the feeder, so I'm sure the camera missed a shoot. One other question: I focused before putting in elements, but when I look through the viewfinder on shoot, it is blurry. Should I focus before or when setting Auto Capture settings?
