    Dippers

    Thanks for that. They do seem to use leg movements when swimming, check out this video about 50 secs into it. I would imagine four leg bands would be a hindrance at least ? http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/bird_dipper

    Dippers

    Thanks guys for replying My concern was welfare of the Dipper, insofar as multiple bands might inhibit or distress and cause long term injury. Standing for long periods in fast flowing water for instance with 4 bands does cause the bands to ride up and down pushing towards the Tibia-tarsal...

    Dippers

    Just wondering what the opinion is of ringers in relation to Dippers. Do you think leg bands cause Dippers any problems whilst swimming/feeding etc? Thanks

    Canon 7D Mk II is announced and available for pre-order

    Just tried 20 shots again Roy same settings 1/1000 f4 iso 320 AI SERVO MODE on the tripod . 10 with +2/3 exposure, and 10 with -2/3 exposure just to make a point Guess what.. 10 sharp with +2/3 and only 4 out of 10 with the -2/3 Correct exposure could be the answer to all of this ?

    Canon 7D Mk II is announced and available for pre-order

    That's interesting Roy, thanks. My two pics above show one exposed properly in ONE SHOT AF MODE and the other slightly underexposed by about 2/3 in AI SERVO MODE. Just wondering if a dark area like the deer caused the camera to jump to the snow ( the in focus part) in AI SERVO MODE because I...

    Canon 7D Mk II is announced and available for pre-order

    I just took 30 pics in total of two Herring Gulls on the house opposites' chimney some 40 metres away with the 300 +1.4. ONE SHOT AF MODE = 10 razor sharp, every detail you would expect visible AI FOCUS MODE = 10 razor sharp, every detail you would expect visible AI SERVO MODE =...

    Canon 7D Mk II is announced and available for pre-order

    My microfocus settings were all +6 for extenders too, and the camera always shows enabled and +6 or each lens. I wonder if a firmware update will solve these issues?

    Canon 7D Mk II is announced and available for pre-order

    Did a few tests yesterday on some stags at 80 metres with the 300 f/2.8+1.4 tc I took 10 shots in AI SERVO AF with camera leaning on a gate post. All were out of focus and were focusing in front, as if the +6 MFA which I did was being ignored. All the other shots in ONE SHOT AF MODE were...

    Is it just grey imports which are dodgy Dave, or are 7D MK2's bought in the UK from Canon dealers having problems also? Thanks Chas

    Canon 7D Mk II is announced and available for pre-order

    I just wonder how many use back button Roy, that could be the problem? I use it all the time mostly. I always thought AI SERVO and LENS IS MODE 2 caused the lens to unduly hunt on perched birds which no one has mentioned? Perhaps it depends on the lens paired to the camera ? Some lenses like...
