- Photos NOT OK to edit
Autofocus works fine, as someone else said turn off all IS it doesn't do anything and it does slow down focusing on a moving subject. I set the focus to the center point (personal choice) No fancy tools, but I have used a monopod because it takes the weight off and if I'm shooting for 8-9 hours, that's a nice assist.
You can get motion blur at 1/320 just fine at 300mm for example. I have the 100-400 and don't go past 350-360 for sharpest results. Nice lens!
Digital is free, it's not like film. Take more shots and cull out the bad ones, save the good ones. I don't like the "H" mode because it's a machine gun and then I have four times as many photos to review and edit. Just fine with the standard burst modes of DSLRs. 3-4 FPS is fast enough to get far too many images.
This one is 100% manual, including focus. Always amuses me that we pay thousands for all the electronics and auto this and than and then I shoot some of the best shots, in "M" with the AF off. A bit extreme but it was just for fun. 1/30th of a second panning.
