Hi folks
I recently started shooting something I previously thought I would never do: wildlife. I am discovering a new area of photography and I am pleased to see that the RX10 M3 performs rather well.
I am improving but I encountered an issue: when shooting (or trying to shoot) a bird in flight the cam manages to focus correctly on it as long as the background is composed of foliage but when the bird flies higher with the sky as a backgroung, within a couple of seconds the scene gets completely blurred, including the sky itself even though it is perfectly blue, and the shutter stops working (I am in burst mode).
So far I have been mainly taking herons nesting in heronries located in a densely wooded island so it seldom happens that birds fly over the wood. I had little opportunity to test differents settings.
Currently the Focus Area is Center. Is there a prefered one such as Flexible Spot or else?
TIA for your insight.
Regards
Nick

Yes, try flexible spot.

OK. I'll try that on my next session.

When shooting BIF against the sky, wide-area AF works best with the RX10iii.
