Do you still get the eye detection when using centre spot? I was under the impression it was only in area mode. Perhaps that’s where I was going wrong. I will have to check. Maybe something else I got wrong on the day. o.O

Seem to have created a black hole in the above post. Every time I try to populate the post it turns out blank.o.O


The sparrow nest box I fitted under the eaves in 2019 has finally been used…by blue tits.

We’ve been watching their antics over a few weeks but today saw the confirmatory sign they have “messy offspring” inside. Mum taking out the poo, yuk.

Because the is no post text associated with the post number - no idea what causes that!  Once posted there is no way to generate a referenced text to populate the post so indeed, a black hole!

It's funny how I look at these pics from the D500 and my own from the D500 and they don't look as good as the ones you and I are getting from the Sony kit. At the time they were great but things have moved on.

Ian I agree I have been going through these Kenys photos and a lot failed as out of focus, I was getting less than 1 in 4 good shots. Now in the last two years with the Sony A1 I get nearly 100% sharp photos, perhaps I have become more skilled at bird photography. I think the whole range of Sony lenses I now have 5 and they are all very sharp and very quick to lock on and hold sharp focus even with fast-moving birds in flight.
