I'm just setting mine up too. I also use C5 for BIF and C6 perching birds (I know the numbers don't matter, just coincidence). For BIF, I have Zone, not wide tracking and it defaults to subject ...

Great shots! A bird I’ve never seen in the wild.

Very nice shots. I wish my feeder got such variety. I’m finding the bird detection to work really well too.

Very well-put examples. I've snipped them for brevity in my reply, but encourage anyone on the thread to consider them in evaluation. The second richest person in the world, and third, and fourth, ...

I remember discussion of this with the X-T3 and I went out and tried to reproduce it. I've never been able to. I know that doesn't mean it doesn't exist for some users, but it must require a ...

There is nothing to fix. It isn't broken. Maybe it isn't as good as the best out there, but that doesn't mean that it is broken. So, can Fujifilm improve the autofocus in firmware? I think that is ...

I haven't tried the X-H2 or the X-T5, but as an X-T3 owner, I waited to see what they would do with the T5 and then bought the X-H2s after I saw the specs. I also can't compare it to the fastest ...

Great series. I enjoy doing this kind of documentary of my birding too. You captured it well. This was likely a fight over a mate, since it is winter and they main courtship/mating season.

Interesting. I just got the camera this weekend and was wondering if the initial choice of auto focus could affect the subject detection, but I didn't test it much, other than with an eagle, which ...

I agree. The sun was going down behind my right shoulder for those. Can't get much better. When the eagle flew to the denser tree, not only was it in shadow, but the sun had gone behind the ...

Thanks. I was really close. The eagle was perched right over a sidewalk, so I chose my distance to get an angle of it that wasn't right below it. Not sure if you do imperial or metric, but I'd say ...

Thank you. I will keep an eye out for your bird shots too. In some ways, it was refreshing to do a lot of birding and to focus on identification and understanding more than photos, but I think I'm ...

I've only had my X-H2s for a few days, but this isn't true of that camera, and from the manual, it looks like the X-T5 is the same. You can't change the metering mode, or "photometry," but you can ...

[trimmed] Great shots, as usual, Morris. Birds can indeed close just one nictitating membrane at a time, just as they can only close one eyelid. Furthermore, this membrane is often misunderstood as ...

Thanks again for sharing your insights, Morris Pooping is definitely a likely sign of take off, just as preening or tucking tell you the bird is staying put. One other one I use regularly for large ...

Thanks, Morris. I haven't posted much lately, but have followed your posts and all the advice you share. Great stuff. Today was an initial test of the settings and I actually wanted to see what the ...

I've been away from photography for a while. Life can be complicated. A couple of weeks ago, I finally got back to some wildlife shooting at the Wildlife Sanctuary in Keensburg, CO with my X-T3 ...

There is no evidence to support the second half of that statement and plenty to contradict it. The key reason that Apple works to open the standard is that they pay more royalties to the various ...

Apple did not develop the standard container. It started as an ISO base media format in 2001 and was developed by the MPEG group in 2015. There is a Wikipedia page to read up on it. Apple adopted ...

Indeed. I think the Apple Developer Docs actually specify using their preferred file extension, which is probably why Fuji implemented the automatic renaming. I can't swear to that and don't have ...
