5D Mark III - AF field test [pics]

AF is amazing .. even when AI Servo and AI Focus were set with extreme lateral focus points

All photos were taken with 5D Mark III with 70-200/2.8 L

PS. Wish buffer wasn't so narrow ...

Was a flash being used here?

No flash, just some Lightroom and Photoshop in postprocess.

Those are excellent, especially considering that you were shooting moving targets @ f/2.8 with such a narrow depth of field. What was your keeper rate shooting this event? Are these shots pretty typical or were there a good percentage of out-of-focus shots combined with these?

Does AI Focus work on the 5D3?

I like to see a bird shoot in branches or flying fast.

Why 250 sec and 100 ISO ?

Auto ISO ...
I used it purposely for a longer shutter time to achive some movement.

Movement without panning?

Yes it does, but it takes a while to recognizes moving object that apear in frame.

Look at the wheels! If they were frozen it would be boring

What?! Even if its not perfect, if it can tell when to use Servo and One-Shot correctly thats a huge improvement from current AI Focus on older bodies.

I like the PP you did to give those colorful saturated effect.
