[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 242697, member: 17556"] [b]Re: Bird in Flight[/b] Shutter speed will depend on the bird itself. Small birds move their wings fast. So you may need 1/1500th or faster to stop their wing action. Bigger birds work well with 1/1000th or 1/1250th second. Set auto focus to Single Servo, Center Point and use AF-C continuous. Focus at the beak of the bird and follow through with your shot even after the shutter button is pressed. Shoot in burst mode of 3 to 4 fps. Change your focus method to Back Button focus by assigning th e AE-L button to a focus button. [/QUOTE]
