[QUOTE="Danno_RIP, post: 573477, member: 34269"] I have the same set up [MENTION=21047]captain birdseye[/MENTION] and like Don suggests I use back button focus. I uses AF-C Single the majority of the time with this lens. Occasionally if I am trying to catch something specific, like a bird fight, I will set it on 9 points instead of single. Most of my shots are on a tripod with a gimble these days at my feeders. I cannot do a lot of hiking around. I started out using U1 and U2 a lot, but I do not do that so much anymore. I can never be sure when the bird will sit still or I might catch one flying off or a few getting in a fight. With the BBF and the few variations in f stop and Single verses 9 points I am usually okay. I just shoot in Manual and tend to use a shutter speed of 1/1250 or so with Auto ISO set with a max of 2000. I very the aperture from 5.6-8 depending on the depth of field I want. I do love this lens/camera combo. It took me a while to get comfortable with it and I still learn little tricks everyday, but I do enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
