[QUOTE="Lee532, post: 354591, member: 17013"] For aviation photography I use AF-Continuous and either single point for one aircraft or nine points for a formation. The camera then stays focused on the subject as you rattle off a burst of shots. I normally shoot manual so I can set the shutter speed and aperture but leave the ISO in auto and set up a max ISO that you don't want the camera to exceed. I use centre weighted metering as the sky will always be brighter than the underside of the aircraft and shoot in RAW so I can bring up the shadows later in post processing. For prop aircraft you want a slower shutter speed so you can blur the movement of the prop, usually around 1/200th. For jets I usually up my speed to between 1/600th and 1/1000th depending on the light available. Hope that helps.
