It's great in theory but I found that in practice it caused more problems than it solved. For instance , when trying to shoot smaller birds in flight against any background other than plain sky the camera will often initially focus on the background. Having lock on set to long delays or prevents you from acquiring focus on the bird and thus often missing the shot. Likewise with birds perched in trees , if initial focus picks a branch instead of the bird it can be difficult to refocus quickly , particularly if shooting handheld when it can be difficult to keep the focus point exactly where you want it.I now set focus lock to OFF</blockquote>
