I am overwhelmed with the BIF images with 2x. I tried with mine but somehow is struggling to get good images. The stills seems to now issues.

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

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.

A definite first for me a juvenile Northern Shrike, at first I thought it was a Merlin but after taking the shot I saw that it wasn't so I had to look it up.

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.

First hour with the 300gm, I had the opportunity to try my friend's 300 and well, I bought mine yesterday luckily my shop allowed me to piggyback off a Sony rebate they had

Sounds great, But how are you going to strip the exiff from the raw files?


Any exif showing camera or lens?

Words in the sentence below...

"convert RAW to JPEG"

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

I'm going to work on a blind test to see if all the rendering experts can really tell the difference without the EXIF included. Maybe 20 shots, mix between 600GM and 300GM/2xTC.
