Re: E-M1 + 40-150 pro shoots Dragonfly in flight

High speed burst mode. The 1st frame locks the AF. Well with this one I moved with the dragonfly after it locked the 1st frame if you know what I mean.
I like to use both H mode or L for BIF. For H u just keep refocusing with short bursts or u can use L mode to let the AF continue between shots, depends on the bird and flight path really.
The intended target was birds here, the dragonfly just flew by me so I used what settings I had at the time.

9 box focus, H mode and CAF

I am a little confused, what is "H mode"???? Surprised that the CAF got that one... E-M1's C-AF seam much better than E-PL7...

Thanks,

Lars

I'm always curious as to how cameras are set up, and what the settings were for successful photos. Would you care to share some of those details? Like, focus point size, c-af or not, etc.

Great shots!

Thanks
