Birds in flight and such. Obviously, if you can't maintain the subject in the focus area, you probably need a different setting. Most of the birds I shoot are not moving that quickly, unless in the air. I am using the gimbal mount on a tripod for almost all my bird pictures these days as well. That makes keeping them in frame easier for me than handheld with a long, heavy lens. I have been experimenting with other focus area settings, but haven't settled on a different strategy. I find that the focus tracking on my Z5 works well once it has locked on something. The issue I have is sometimes it is difficult to get that initial lock.</p></blockquote><p></p>
