Anything Shot with a 1Dx mark II

Thanks click.
I'd love to hear what is working best for BIF - AF mode and adjustments to parameters etc. I'm finding having the three buttons assigned to AF (shutter, AF-ON, *) gives me the most intuitive fast choice. I have large zone, spot AI servo, spot one-shot, in that order right now. With C1..3 I have variants of this such as spot expansion.
My reasoning is this. Full auto large zone should snap onto a BIF and then back button AF-ON with spot expansion can over-ride this. The * button is a bit awkward for action because of my hand size and grip.

Those AF settings are basically what I have Jack. Shutter is single point one shot. AF ON is 9 point in the middle servo. * is large center zone servo. Only one of my C modes is for birds though.

I'll try some variations such as you have but what about the mode cases and any changes you make to the parameters.

I'm still trying to figure out the AF cases... Right now I think its a crapshoot to make a difference, but I could be wrong lol.

Have a person simply act out and mimic the movements described in each case and try both the "wrong" case and the one designed to be correct and you'll see it really makes a difference. I like big apertures so I must get it right, if one shoots at f4-5.6 and wider dof it's much more forgiving. Does everything or nothing?
Remember that AF Cases have less or no effect if used with single point focusing.

"Remember that AF Cases have less or no effect if used with single point focusing." Not disputing this, but do we have any Canon commentary illuminating this? I've found single point expansion to be challenged by a bird on a tree even though I started with the initial point on the bird's head.

Thanks, I even read it myself a while back but it's been "information overload" for me. First it was button programming and how to select the various choices quickly, but it is slowly sinking in. Trouble is it's the time of year when I don't get nearly enough practice.

Your woodpecker photos are simply amazing! I love the color and sharpness. The composition and poses are captivating. Keep posting please. I'm glad your friend "Woody" is faithful..."Harry" hasn't been around for some time ;D
Cheers,

Eric, glad you like them. This last one I liked because it showed his handiwork!
Wish I could borrow a few BCN herons for BIF practice.Jack

What lens was that Eldar?
I think I like the color version because it pops out a little more. Maybe that's just the exposure.
