Cheers @@chips4451 . So I use zone autofocus for in flight shots. This is the name Sony use and might vary between brands I can look for the equivalent if I know what brand you shoot on. Essentially the autofocus covering about 75% of the frame so the camera is a little more targeted whilst giving so room for me to have a little room for error when I am searching for the bird initially to allow the autofocus to track it. Hope that helps let me know any other queries if you want
Ooh nice one! Hope you have loads of fun with it! If you’re shooting full frame you can push the iso a little harder for f8 it’s not hugely darker than f6.3. Also there’s lots of good denoising software, I use Lightroom for it, they don’t all work perfectly but it’s a nice fall back if you do push the iso harder.
I have fujifilm and the 150-600mm. You can absolutely shoot at 1/2000SS. The body you use is important. My XH2S is what I use for birds in flight and action. My XT-5 struggles to keep up and focus. The stacked sensor makes a big difference. That said, fuji is not the best for action and many other camera systems do it better.
Lovely crisp video. One Q - Did you mean using the widest zone setting ? Thanks.

Just bought a Fuji 150-600 and was looking for this info…. It’s F8 at 600mm so I’m not sure I’ll get to 1/2000 but will try it - thank you 🙏
