On your camera change your focus areas to SPOT, this will allow to select smaller objects you want to track. Also the camera has a Bird mode that will help it track it better as well. Option 3 in the menu, Face/Eye AF > Face/ Eye Subject you can choose between human, animal or bird. It made a world of difference to me.
Thanks, I have been using the Bird Eye AF mode and it works amazing! The only issue I've had is sometimes the bird goes behind some twigs and it loses focus. However, the SPOT focus area is a game changer! Don't know why I didn't think of that before 😃 Thanks!!
@Hentacular The spot focus is a game changer, I messed up so many pictures not knowing when to use it, I thought one mode would work for everything but no.
Yeah there's quite a learning curve when you're looking for things at 200mm 😅. If you haven't already, I've found that a different tripod helps a LOT, especially a video head or a gimbal head.
Nope, just the 200-600. I don't intend on getting a 2x teleconverter as I find the 600mm is enough each for me at the moment (wherever I've used it in AU)
Photos look great! Watching this makes me miss the Australian nature and wildlife 🇦🇺
Needs more bin chickens.

@@JPMNRB Will head out to the field and test it out. Cheers mate!
@@Hentacular cheers
Whew! Good thing the snake didn’t bite you! Love the sense or adventure, humor, interaction, and fresh “beginner perspective.” Subbed!
Thanks! Really appreciate the kind words ☺️ There are many more snakes and adventures ahead I'm sure. 🤙
oh i love it, very fun review!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Nice review. I just got the same lenses and I’m a little struggling too, but it’s about time

I had the opportunity today and yes, is an amazing lens, I also have the 100-400GM but I was looking for more reach and it works.
@@papolini109 Oooh I'm so jealous! Just out of curiosity, if you had to pick the 200-600 OR the 100-400GM which would you go with?
This is a really nice casual format for a review, especially from a small channel :)
Thanks mate! Appreciate the comment 😎
I'm aussie with same camera maybe i should cop this lense too but might get a cheaper one instead
Waratah picture looked great and loved the funny comments 😂
Thanks, part 2 will come soon!
Good stuff mate
Cheers luv
hello, is there a 2× teleconverter?
Nope, just the 200-600. I don't intend on getting a 2x teleconverter as I find the 600mm is enough each for me at the moment (wherever I've used it in AU)
🤣very funny!🤣
Thanks 😎 appreciate the comment. Have a good day!
