Is it just me or does bird Eye AF not work so well?

For example, it couldn't even find this penguins eye

Pic of a recent knife purchase, I was surprised when Eye AF locked onto to the eye socket of the skull!

Well, those two (with the possible exception of a wide-angle zoom - though I do have an EF17-40L) should do pretty much all my shooting, so I can leave the lenses on the bodies.

With the RF 85mm f/2

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Still shooting gulls from home. It's never been easier shooting BIF heads on than now, with the R6 (and R5).
This fellow came too close and I lost his wingtips, so I decided to crop a bit more as I like the pic.

Thank you kindly, Ira.

I was setting up my new R6 this morning. I was working on my custom menus and spent 5 minutes looking for........

Mirror lockup.

Then I remembered it is mirrorless.

I decided to try a wrap based on a thread over on FM.

I did this more in homage to my daughter who joined the services this summer, and also just to see if I could do it, but typically wouldn't consider something like this. This may become her camera in a few years perhaps. Cost about $30 and took a long time to get to my door.

I doubt this will seem like a good idea to many, initially including me. It was worth the attempt, gives the camera a bit more "attitude", and I hope she likes my effort commemorating her decision to give to the armed services of the US. It took a couple of hours, since there are something like 30-40 pieces, and lots of very deliberate placement of the skin parts with a tweezers.

Very cool. I like it

Cool!

Thank you to your daughter for her service.

The R6 has to wait for a couple of weeks, Just got the 600mm II and the adapter for now .
