[QUOTE="bluzman, post: 749822, member: 47800"] For BIFs, I have been using Shutter Priority with speeds between 1/2500 and 1/3200 seconds and Auto ISO. I go that route rather than full Manual mode because I'm mainly concerned that my shutter speed is fast enough to capture the motion clearly. In S Mode and fully zoomed at 250mm with the 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 kit lens on the Z50, the aperture stays constant at f/6.3 and the ISO value varies. A similar situation occurs in the image of the cormorant using the D750 when fully zoomed to 300mm with the 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 lens. As for performance of the D750 vs the Z50, I'd say that the Z50 isn't quite up to my D750 when it comes to BIFs. That may have more to do with me than my equipment. With that in mind, I'm working on my developing my skills to get the best out of all of my cameras. TRANSLATION: I try to shoot as much and as often as I can with every camera that I own. For now, though, my D7500 is my current "go to" camera for BIF shooting. [/QUOTE]
