It is looking good, can you clarify what focus setup you are using (area size, subject tracking, eye focus etc).

I have a setup with three buttons:

Shutter Button: No customization. Just have main settings to
AF operation: Servo,
AF Area: whole area,
Subject tracking: ON
Subject to detect: Animals,
Eye detection: Enabled,
Switch Tracked Subjects: 1
Servo AF (Tab 2): Auto

AF-ON: Customized
AF operation: Servo,
AF Area: Flexible Zone AF 1
Subject tracking: ON
Subject to detect: (not customized, just use the main subject selection)
Eye detection: Enabled,
Servo AF (Tab 2): Auto
Spot detection: ON (I think this is only used when Subject to detect is Vehicle)

* : Customized
AF operation: Servo,
AF Area: 1-point AF
Subject tracking: OFF
Subject to detect: OFF
Eye detection: OFF
Servo AF (Tab 2): Auto
Spot detection: (Grayed out)


Most of the time I just half-press the Shutter Button and get what I need. If it is having trouble I will go to the AF-ON button. Given the organization of the button and overall camera ergonomics, my thumb is naturally right over the AF-ON button so switching between the two is really fast! Sometimes, if I know it is a bit of a tricky scene I will go straight to AF-ON. If AF-ON fails, say there are too many branches in front, then I'll go to the * and get the focus on the subject. Once it is in focus, I'll switch to the Shutter Button (half pressed) and it will usually lock on the subject's eye. On occasion that will fail, that is, when I half-press the Shutter Button it will not lock on the subject. At that point, I'll just use the * button and operate in legacy DSLR mode. While this does allow me to get what I want, the images generated using the * button usually have the subject partially hidden behind something and I will rarely use those images.

So, if I were to guestimate:

Shutter button: ~70%
AF-ON: ~25%
*: 5%

It will vary by situation, of course. For instance, for BIF I use * 0% of the time :)

Thats pretty good for 12800. How much noise clean ?? How heavy is that crop ? 12800 looks good to my eye

Almost no crop. I hadn't noticed this, but LRC shows the ISO at 10000. When uploaded to POTN it got auto-populated to 12800. Still. It had some noise and at close-up it shows. Also, I was really close to the bird at 800mm. Here is a 1-1 close-up.

Very interesting! It seems you have a couple of nice shots there, without any visible electronic rolling shutter problems. I'm definitely going to give this a try later!

Is this pre-record feature available for mechanical shutter, anyone?

No it only works in electronic mode.

I decided to try the RAW BURST mode with my feeder outside my window (with the window open).
This is my first attempt. I think this is a really neat feature but takes some getting used to.

That's intereting and also a bit disconcerting in that there might be a lot of inaccurate info in the displayed EXIF.

Is anyone else noticing a discrepancy between actual EXIF and displayed EXIF, regarding shooting settings? I know the camera and lens may not be in the database but I am talking about shutter/aperture/dista​nce/ISO.

Thats very easy to clean and fix up for 12800 especially with larger subjects

Here's Glenn Bartley with an ISO shootout; some RAW files to compare noise results on R7 vs 90D vs R5 vs 7DII:

From my old small monitor I can barely see the difference but I see comments by others that there is an edge with the R7 among the APS-C bodies.

WOW !!!!

perfect ISO testing. I recommend every wildlife shooter watch this video....this absolutly cemented the R7 for me.....12800 with minor noise clean is a very usable file in poor light conditions.....this is what winter is like in the pacific northwest...Cant wait to get this thing. I Just placed an order

Went out Friday to try my new R7 in a conservation area. Was happy with the results of this Indigo Bunting. Cropped down to about 1/4 of the frame. RF 100-500.
