[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 425946, member: 6277"] There is a difference in Spot metering and Spot focus. When I shoot BIF I have spot focus or 9 point focus and Center Weighted metering. I have rarely ever seen a good use for spot metering other than shooting the moon and it works great there. For BIF I use manual exposure set to 1/2000sec and F9 Auto focus set to spot AUTO ISO min 100, max 3200 Metering mode to center weighted and depending on the brightness of the sky I may have the exposure compensation set to -1 to -2. I usually shoot a few and then look to see if I need to adjust. I have been using this setup for a while now and if always works great and fast. [/QUOTE]
