Now, tell me, do you own the 1dxII and please tell me what went wrong in those mis-focussed images.
Yes, I do. The camera handed off the focus to one of the expanded points. Figuring out when to use point expansion, group and so on is the biggest challenge.
And that can result in an image with nothing in focus? So next time i should really use 1 point focus and have that on it\'s beak? Hmm, that\'s not all that easy peasy.
The second image; it looks like the focus went to the perch. No idea how it was tracking as it flew in. If it was ever really on the bird or not. Personally, unless a bird is against the sky or against a very uniform, distant background, I\'d never use anything but single point. If light is low and focus is struggling, I might do a small expansion, but that\'s it.
So you\'d go for the 5 point focus. (cross)
I know the smaller your focus area the more accurate but i was busy photographing small birds when suddenly this buzzard came flying towards me and i didn\'t have time to switch anything that fast so i had to work with what i had.
