The above was taken with the R7 + RF 100mm f/2.8 L.
I read a bit about it before I started
I shot everything in M mode, shutter speeds 1/3200 - 1/4000, aperture 7.1
(The weather was bad today, not very suitable..)
Right from the start I had a problem with the first pictures being sharp, the next ones not.
What worked for me:
Drive mode H
shutter mode mechanical
Af operation Servo
Af area AF+
subject traking on
subject to detect none
eye detection disable
switching tracked subjects 1
servo af 4
tracking sensitivity-2
accel/decel tracking +2
lens:
to 0.5 m only
af
stabilizer on
Any tips and experiences on what to set up to make it work better?
IIF day two, I reduced the time to 2500, I tried to keep the aperture according to the light at a reasonable ISO so from 3-6, even the sun came out for a moment. I am happy with the settings, I shoot bursts and the AF holds the bee even when it flies away.. that's what I wanted.
Something even flew in much faster.. the time 2500 seems better to me..it doesn't look like the bee is hanging in the air... there are many more photos...
day three ... I'm only taking photos, close up, the lens is set to focus only up to 0.5 m, I shoot handheld through the rear display, even though I hate this type of photography .. I can't lie down with the camera. I have about 200 usable photos - various insects (for today) ... this is not the best of them, I'll keep the premiere on my Instagram.
