Just getting started with this new setup. I feel like it is imperative to get the setting exactly correct, it feels really different from my 1DX.
I do love the tracking of an in flight bird.
Concert work was just that! It took a lot of work and thought.
I just received my R5 a few days ago, so as a first test, I thought I'd see how well the Animal Eye AF worked. Here's a single frame showing the full frame, my preferred cropped version, and finally a crop showing only the Mourning Dove's head.

Lots of detail in the last tight crop, so why spend 5 or 6 Benjamins for a TC?

Rob, where is the AF point on the squirrel pict?
I'm still struggling with the focus problems and wondered here, because the squirrel is unsharp and the tree left is sharp.
I do have many of that problems with it, so the question.

If you click through to Rob's Flickr you will see that the head/eye is sharp and in focus but also as you pointed out the focus is shifted onto the near tree so most of the squirrel is OOF but the important bits are nice and sharp. The squirrel is leaning its head towards the camera so if eye-af engaged then that eye/snout is probably close to the same plane as the tree that is sharp.

Like Geoff said, go to Flickr. I used f2.8 so very shallow DOF. The squirrels head was leaning out at the same plane of the tree so they are both in focus with very fast fall off.

Now its clear indeed. Only looked here. I’m sorry not looking any further. It’s because I struggle to much with the AF of my R5. Think have a bad copy. Canon is investigate the problem. Btw, nice pics as ever. Grtz
