Hello
I had mentioned in my previous post that i have been trying to capture birds in flight, and would like to get peoples opinions as to the best focus settings. I am using a EOS 1D MKIIN so it does give you a fighting chance.
The 2 pictures were taken in AI servo, but to be honest i miss having the red confirmation lights indicating what the camera has decided to focus on. I wonder if one shot would better but then risk other photos in a sequence drifting out of focus.
I have also tried CF 4-3 but to be honest found it slower and didn't feel comfortable swinging the camera around using only 3 fingers and my palm to hold it.
Is there a setting that lets you know in the viewfinder what is being focussed on in AI servo?
Any comments/ advice appreciated.
