[QUOTE="egosbar, post: 322378, member: 19871"] defintely single spot focus on the birds unless in flight or anything really unless moving , i use continuous with 21 focus points for birds in flight , i have user 1 and 2 set up for these , they are set aperture priority , easy iso , iso 100 , f8 , so that anytime im nearly ready for a shot and only have to turn the user 1 or 2 dial for action or still OOPS SORRY JUST REREAD , NOT SURE IF THE 5200 HAS USER 1 AND 2 looks like your eagles are blown out so your exposure is off , turn on your preview blinkies , when you review on your lcd then especially in high contrast shots you can then use exposure compensation up or down to get the shot correctly exposed or at least the part of the shot that is the most important , its not alwasy possible to expose the entire scene , the camera is only guessing , its pretty good at it but not an expert i use matrix metering normally , and have my front preview button set for spot exposure metering , so you can then meter on say the eagle recompose and shoot and it will be perfectly exposed they are not easy cameras to understand but you first must understand basic photography , im not saying you dont but if you dont then that is where to start , the link between aperture shutterspeed and iso is a must to know , focus and metering modes is essential if your finding it too much to learn through books and manuals , go to utube and search any photography tutorials you want , there are some good ones on the d7100 im sure there are on the 5200 , ive watched a lot of video and find it much easier to learn from go shoot some shots of still subjects with single spot focus , put the single focus point on the eye of a subject and hold your shutter half way then recompose , this will lock focus where you wanted good luck [/QUOTE]
