[QUOTE="aroy, post: 539637, member: 16090"] If the above image was taken after you moved a bit back, then you may have been too near for AF to lock, and in AF-S mode the camera will not shoot till the focus is acquired. Unless there is a moving object, I prefer this mode, as then the shot will be in focus. Another thing to note is that the central focus point is normally the most sensitive one, so when shooting birds in low light . use AF-S instead of AF-C . use single point AF and select the central point . use spot metering instead of matrix metering [/QUOTE]
