a3 is one of those highly debatable settings. IMHO, (and according to the manual, if you rtfm) if it is on there will be a delay if something enters the scene much closer than the original subject. 1-5 is the amount of time the delay will be. I find medium is fine. When I am tracking owls through the woods, the camera will hold the last known focus distance for a second or two and see if the subject re-appears..Speaking of a3, do you typically leave it on "Normal" ? I'm guessing the reaction time varies depending on model.
Thank you sir!Great article Kris. Thanks.
Kris, thanks for the article, very interesting. I have loads of Shite Hawks (Gulls) where I live and usually find them very boring. I suppose it's because they've always been there and are looked on as pests. However, having said all that maybe they'll be good to practice on. You mention that you use Auto ISO, I don't know Canikons so I'm not sure if that is fully auto or within a range. My Pentax can be set within a given ISO range and I was wondering what you would suggest. I shouldn't have to much of a problem going fairly high as the birds are white and the background is unlikely to be very dark. Your advice would be appreciated.
Thanks mate

I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate this thread. The info provided has helped me, immensely!
Auto ISO? Hmmm.... does my camera (d600) have that? lol
This thread has taught me how little I know about the equipment I'm using. It's opened many doors for me.
