I've been vocal about the 600GM+A series cameras having trouble with these types of shooting challenges. Yesterday was no different. Still does not engage AF when there is nothing but a bird and background in the frame.
Compared to DSLRs all mirrorless have issues focusing on a subject that is too far out of focus. Is that what you are referring to?
The current crop of all mirrorless cameras across various brands has the same “issue”. The problem seems to be magnified more so the longer the focal length is used. That’s the only drawback that I can think of at this time of mirrorless cameras compared to DSLRs.
@149113 Alex, as long the the focusing distance is roughly in the same range, you won’t encounter that problem. I normally either choose something contrasty to focus on that roughly has the same distance as the target or from time to time, I turn the focus ring to see the outline of the target, still blurry but enough for the system to zip to focus immediately. But stickiness of the AF point on target is significantly better using mirrorless cameras than using DSLRs of the same caliber.
