[QUOTE="Bengt Nyman, post: 333908, member: 13692"] The answer to my own initial question about continuous shooting with D810 autofocus update between shoots is becoming more clear. There seems to be no major difference between the D800 and the D810 in that respect: 1. The use of AF-S is not applicable since it does not allow reacquiring focus without interrupting the burst, unless of course the distance to the bird happens to remain constant during the burst. 2. The use of any AF-C method should be possible understanding that the chosen focal point has to coincide with some contrast feature on the bird before each new shot, or the continuation of the burst will be disrupted or out of focus until so is the case. 3. The use of 3D-Tracking should be possible but subject to the same restrictions as the AF-C methods above. 4. The use of AUTO should be possible since it establishes focus on its own without requiring the selection of an initial focus point. It will be interesting to see if the D810 offers any improvement in this area over to the D800. [/QUOTE]
