Howdy, George. You are welcome and thanks for your kind words. If you can learn so much from a short video, think about how much you would learn on an Instructional Photo-Tour with me! with love, artie

Love your amazing bird artwork and your video. And thank you SO MUCH for saying something about back-button focus. I used to use BBF back in my pre-mirrorless days but it was senseless when I switched to mirrorless (I have the OM-1). BBF is just an extra and unnecessary step which gets in my way.

[@arthurmorris4932]

Hey Mark. Thanks for your kind words. So many folks are still sticking with BBF :-(. Think about an IPT! Where do you live? What system do you use. with love, artie

@@arthurmorris4932 Hey Artie! I was a Canon user for decades but switched to the OM Systems OM-1. Main plusses with this camera for me are the fantastic IBIS, bird-eye tracking and fast focus, great image quality and most important, the well-implemented pre-capture feature. My bird photography was literally transformed overnight. I live in a small community near Seattle, Washington, in the US, which is on the Pacific Flyway so we have amazing birds here year-round. If you're ever in "the neighborhood", we should go birding together! Thanks... Mark

Very nice photos. So if you're using the shutter for focus, what buttons do you use to switch focus modes or areas. Thanks for any replies.

[@arthurmorris4932]

I customize my a-1 so that I can use the Set Button. Amazingly, I use only two AF methods! What camera are you using with love, artie

@@arthurmorris4932 Ole School! Nikon D810. Hoping to upgrade in 2024. Will look at the Z9, Canon R5 or it's upgrade if one & the Sony A7R5. I want focus stacking also so. Might rent (from Lens Rental) each set-up for a week or two after checking them out at a store (which ever is closest to me) & then decide.
