[QUOTE="wildbird2015, post: 612722, member: 43457"] Thanks & hello Blacktop, No a typical scenario would be a standard bird shot in open shade. Acquisition is problematic and once gained is soon lost again. Im new to posting g on a forum sorry to be misleading . I was a pro for 30 years back in the silver halide days and digital is still a challenge to an old bugger like me. I think probably every camera ever made will cause hunting g pointed at the sky or the other scenarios you mention for sue and I accept that. But this problem is frustrating and tends to knock my confidence as Im never sure of capturing anything and you know Murphy's law . Focus works fine with sparrows but as soon as that great spotted sun bird shows up after not having been seen for ten years the lens hunts until the bird dies of old age.... Jokes and silliness aside, Its a frustrating problem and could well be something Im doing wrong. I use AF - C , single point as with birds the eye is the critical focus point and I make that decision not the camera with multiple points. had to laugh at your reference to golf.!! I so appreciate your input regards Neil Foster ( wildbird2015 ) for a google search. [/QUOTE]
