[QUOTE="hark, post: 759310, member: 13196"] If single point focus isn't working well (which it hasn't many times for me), change it to either Dynamic or Group and see if one of those offers more keepers. I'd still suggest using Auto-ISO. By opening up your aperture which allows in more light, your ISO will automatically be lowered. I keep my ISO capped at either ISO 4000 or ISO 5000. When I hit it (which I do early in the morning or on dark, overcast days), even dialing in more exposure with the EV button +/- won't increase the exposure any further. Then what's left is an underexposed file that needs to be worked on in Photoshop or Camera RAW. But using apertures in the f/7.1 to f/9 range will allow your ISO to be lower. Yes you might get a little blur on the far side of the bird, but with telephoto lenses, that is usually what happens due to them having a shallower depth of field than wide angle lenses. [/QUOTE]
