1. I set the camera to single-point AF, center and intentionally disabled auto-AF selection.
2. The bird pics are 100% crops taken from the sharpened RAW output, processed by DPP; sharpness setting 6.
3. Here is a crop taken from DPP showing the focus point on the bird (pic with two bids); this is a screen capture that I saved as a JPEG, best quality. The screen cap is unsharpend, so you can see more or less what it looks like raw as well.
I remember this shot well, the idea was to get the bird in focus and use a lower aperture for blurring. It doesn\'t disprove that I did a focus+recompose (accidentally) but even the second shot with just the static bird and the upper focus point isn\'t much better. The same mistake twice when I was intentionally trying to get the bird in focus?
3. Here is similar crop showing the upper AF on the bird, screen cap from DPP saved as JPEG.
