[QUOTE="dramtastic, post: 216858, member: 16805"] I use ISO-Auto Aperture Priority AF-C, 39 focus Points, AF Single Point. AF-C set to release. Piss off the 3D tracking WB Auto Shutter Speeds for Birds. I rarely set the minimum shutter speed below 1/500th and you can shoot a lot faster even for stationary bird(they tend to move). Also if you don't have the shutter speed set fast enough you will miss a lot of BIF shots because you have to be ready for the transition between stationary and take off. I would stop down to F8-F11. Use back button focus. This is set up in the menu. Assign AF-L/AE-L Lock. AF-S ON. The following was shot today hand held at 420mm F8 1/3200(yep that fast) ISO 1250.
