[QUOTE="JimL, post: 846201, member: 69920"] I have just started using d500 / 500 pf (previously d780 / 200-500). My main interest is birds. I have been interested for years but never really devoted enough time to this. So yesterday I was on bird reserve. Most shots were good/ok but I am puzzled why I didnt get a good shot of this short-eared owl in front of a hide. In all examples I had f/5.6, manual mode, auto iso and adjusted the shutter speed between 1/000 and 1/3200. I can't remember what I did with VR for high shutter speeds. I had it on for lower speeds, but I thought the setting would not be relevant for higher speeds. In the owl image there seems to be motion blur even though the shutter speed was 1/3200 - which I didnt think would be possible.
