Incoming swallow sequence - forget those dogs, they be slow as by comparison - no wind so they're belting along as they do.
LOSSLESS compressed RAW at 30fps. 1/3200s so a bit slow but very little light available.
For those who think you can't shoot fast things using lossy compressed RAW because autofocus calcs drops when using this mode that doesn't seem to be true and rolling shutter distortion seems negligible on the majority of images.
Note that even the A9iii will likely loose focus when the bird veers off out of the frame so that's quite typical.
As usual acquisition is crazy fast and you won't find more accurate AF. In better light use f/8 to increase DOF and reduce the likelihood of missing focus on the eyes.
