[QUOTE="Dangerspouse, post: 790086, member: 46690"] Yes. Don't use single point AF, for one. There are a couple of our members who specialize in bird in flight photography using the D500, notably Wev and Woody. Hopefully they'll chime in with suggestions based on their extensive experience. I've been having fun with BIF photography using my D500 also, but I'm not nearly as experienced or accomplished as them so I'll hold off on giving my own tips.
