Great shots of your dogs. For those of us still learning to use the E-M1 Mark II, any details of setting you used are much appreciated.

Well, still learning myself as well. I set it all up before heading out as I knew it was going to be too cold to start fiddling in the field.

I set it Aperture priority, Continuous low (mechanical), AF-C with tracking (left the tight/loose at default) and 5 point. Made sure the AF was on the dog and it tracked quite well. There were several times when it would focus on the dog's body/tail so I just set a smaller aperture to keep more in focus.

Lots to learn and for me, the dogs are a perfect way to play with AF-C.
