It seems to be producing pretty good BIF shots Alan. They look OK so far. As you know I use the Canon 7D and I'm sure Nikon is much the same for settings.
My settings for BIF are:
Shutter Priority
minimum 1/1000th - Auto ISO - f:8 - Stabilization OFF - Servo Mode - Spot Metering - Focus can be all focus points to centre (I prefer centre)
I've also recently discovered that by setting image quality to medium size (standard not fine) actually is better for sharpness.
I also set back focus button which takes the focusing away from the shutter button 1/2 press.Last edited by Isac; 03-09-2015, 02:47 PM.I Shoot A Canon

I did try Auto ISO for awhile (it always came back as 800 ISO), and also IS off - nothing seemed to make much difference. I have set 2 user settings, one at 200 ISO and the other for 800 ISO. Both Continuous Focus and Centre Focus
I'll have a look at 'image quality', thanks. I have also heard that the back focus button can make life easier - just something else to come to grips with, sigh
Thanks for the suggestions
