Birds on Z6III

[ckqualls]

I just read a review of the Z5II and in the review it states that camera has a bird mode.

Anyone know if this is correct? If so I wonder if the Z6III will get that in a firmware release.

Without actually having done the research, what I read was it is an animal-eye AF detect mode for birds. I do not know if the Z6III already has that or not. Based on the Z series history I would guess it will come with firmware for multiple newer releases of Z bodies.

B&H has the Z5ii listed on their website and this is a quote from the description.

The popular dedicated Bird Detection mode is also featured.

Looks like the Bird AF is coming.

It would be nice if it comes with multiple choice, where I can check the type of detections I want, for example People and Birds, excluding cars and airplanes. Now I can only select one of the detection types or all of them.
