Phantastic report, and all the exotic birds... Was battery power an issue?
[...] Otherwise not a problem. I have one spare battery and that was always enough for a full day.
Slightly off-topic but so far, I've not succeeded in installing the latest firmware update for a G9 body fitted to the PL 100-400 lens using the makers installation instruction https://www.panasonic.com/global/consumer/lumix/g9_firmware.html
Despite changing cards, " no valid picture to play" came up time after time which implied the latest version, v1.1 was already installed whereas Version Display showed v1.0. Any help will be gratefully received and acknowledged.
Hi
Have you a fully charged battery and latest version for the lens.
Regards
Stan
Many thanks for your response.
Battery charge never showed less than 2 bars and lens is v1.2 which is the latest I'm aware of.
Just noticed battery charge MUST show 3 bars, will fully re-charge and try again!
Excellent. Is that a Black Tern on the 3rd?
Try take a look at my images in the gallery: https://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showgallery.php/cat/500/ppuser/7427
Many of these are from Ecuador where the light was really challenging, and some of them I may not have sharpened as much as you would like - but I am happy with the results. I have the g85; G9 is rumored to be better for BIF, and EM1-ii as well. EM1-iii is going to be announced soon with better AF according to Oly.

Edit: If you go more than a couple of hundred images back you get to some taken with another lens that was less sharp.
I recently got a new version of the software I am using which is better at noice reduction than the old one - and most of these images are processed using the older version. Having said that, iso 6400 on my camera is a stretch. I frequently ended at that level while in Ecuador.
