So - trying to get the most out of my testing. I only have the Tamron 17-70mm f2.8 - so I know its not the best for wildlife - but I'm fairly happy with results... but always want to do better. All these are straight out of camera. I know I should shoot RAW but for now just learning the settings.

So I've been trying to use the BIF settings from Morris0 he posted here https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1772910/0 BUT I find that when I;m in zone mode it will look locked on in the viewfinder, but when I look on the computer many are soft. For me (so far in limited testing) it seems like single point gives better results.

In general should I stop down to 5.6 and use a bit more ISO?

Osprey pestered by crow

The camera has done a pretty good job of getting the osprey into focus. Its going to be a challenge when you have a short focus length and the subject is a long way away. I tend to have more success with focus priority than focus release but the other focus settings look OK.

Subject detection finding bird head and body - the red target is the reported focus point

The X-H2s dose a great job with tracking.  I recommended focus priority for the X-T3 and 4.  I recommend release priority for the X-H2s.
