well, did you try the Zoom in/out function to follow a fast subject e.g. fast flying Seaguls etc ?

You just set the Zoom to e.g. 400mm FF, press the Zoom in and it moves to wide angle indicating the area of the 400mm image and release the button and press shutter in one go...

I have never missed so few flying birds doing that compared to a tradition approach...

Just don't zoom and use JPEG....(using RAW on the G3X for fast shooting is a pain)

I got terrific images of Pelicans with my G3X at full zoom.  Flying birds.
