I haven't got this lens and am still waiting for my R7 but I came across this video on Youtube which may help as it looks specifically at the autofocus issuesI haven’t read through this entire thread yet, but has anybody here used the r7 with a sigma 150-600mm C lens? If so, what are peoples thoughts on the combo? Mostly in terms of the autofocus?

Nice photos John. I've just received my R7 today and will spend the evening setting it up! Could you summarise your AF settings for the BIF please?Four from Monday - rubbish light for all of them. The R7 is brilliant for BIF and not at all bad out of the car window with the engine still on.

Happy to do so.Nice photos John. I've just received my R7 today and will spend the evening setting it up! Could you summarise your AF settings for the BIF please?

Thanks John. Very useful.Happy to do so.
General set up:
Shutter speed setting (in Tv mode) on top deck dial. In Av this does f-stop.
Exposure compensation on vertical wheel.
Range of focus point options set to 3: "point", "centre extending in each direction" and "all". AF point button cycles through the three. For BIF the centre extending is ideal.
Star button sets AF point to centre - useful when on the odd occasion it goes and sits in a corner.
Animal tracking on.
Eye detection on.
I've just looked and I've left the Servo AF case as AUTO. Lazy I know.
Have fun
John
