[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 627250, member: 9240"] How deep in the menu do you want to go? I don't have it in front of me so I can quote my focus tracking settings, but otherwise I'm at AF-C with 153 points (full left to right) and the initial point in the center. Moving left to right it locks on perfectly for just about every shot, towards/away from you and I'll get 2/3 tack sharp in general once it locks. A lot depends on what else is close. And for the most part BIF is my 300mm f4E (newest) with a 1.4x TC on it shooting in manual at 1/1600 (give or take a click) and f6.3 or f7.1. I generally keep the auto ISO at 1600 as anything over that becomes a little too noisy if you've got to crop. IIRC my AF blocked setting is set to the highest delay amount. As you know, swallows aren't known to be slow and the shots before and after each of these were all keepers with regard to sharpness.
