- I use the default multi-segment metering
- I use AF.C exclusively
- I normally use the selective AF with focal point in center but for the BIF, I turn to the complete AF with multiple focal points, I let the AF system work while I pan the movement hoping the AF system find the closest focal point to match the bird
- I use ISO 400 and Av mode on f/8.0 and half press to check the shutter to be at least 1/500 sec
- I should have tried Tv mode with 1/1000 sec but I don't trust the Tamron on anything lesser than f/8.0 in the longer end
- I pan all shot in moving along with the bird and let the multiple AF point and AF.C work with the bird in the frame
- I pan the bird to be in the frame and adjust zoom from 300mm down for better sharpness and hopefully better IQ if bird is not too far
And I am gathering inputs for a TC that maintain AF and metering, I am basically looking at two choices
- Tamron 1.4x AF (no longer manufactured by Tamron)
- Kenko 1.5x AF (available in various places)
- Promaster Spectrum 7 1.7x AF TC
