A1/300MM/2X
Manual Mode, Wide, tracking on, face detection on, bird, vibration off, tracking sensitivity (standard/locked on), 2500, ISO-AUTO, Multi, AF-ON, 30 frame bursts. Programmed to Lens button to activate these settings. Back button focus, AF with shutter off.
Am I missing anything?
Kindly help if I am missing any important settings.
In addition, the focus seems to be getting shifted when taking pictures (in flight). I used to have 200-600 with now issue but sadly traded for 300mm...Show more →
I assume you are using AF-C, what do you have AF-C priority set to? AF-C priority selection is the setting that controls whether the photo can be taken before the camera acquires focus. I normally set mine to balanced emphasis.
Also as someone has already pointed out the disable Full Time DMF on the lens.
This link has some good info on setting up the A1 autofocus for various bird scenarios it might be helpful.

AFC-Priority is set to Release just to get 30frames. I am getting some clue from reply on the thread. Will try this out and update. I am a student doing part time on Wildlife as a hobby. Just need some time to try and update you all.
Thanks for the help.

Have any of you that own the 600GM considered replacing it with the 300GM. This is the dilemma I have now and I’m currently testing the 300GM and so far I am very impressed. Having said that, I really can’t afford to keep both and have injuries to both arms which make the 600GM tough at times. Any thoughts appreciated.

Do you think the comparison shots posted on this thread would be RAW files
