    Thank you Craig, I'm trying to find the ideal settings for this camera. It has turned out to be one of the most difficult cameras I have ever come to learn and use.

    Great image, something you could try with this colour bird is hang a different colour background up if its in your control as an experiment.
    looks like you getting good results.
    what are your thought processes on the difficulty issue?

    are you able to put the camera higher up so we can see whats in the pot/drinker?,

    love the shots you're getting

    Thank you Caladina. First off...this camera shoots in CR3 file type. Its different than CR2 and DPP reads it differently. The camera is very sensitive to shake and vibration making it difficult for to hand-hold and shoot. At 80 years old, I'm not as steady and strong as I used to be. And for some reason, this camera was not as easy as my others to mfa. I still don't know if I'm on the mark or not. I just need more time to tweak it a little at a time. However, I'm enjoying the challenge and excited to be shooting with a new camera.

    My I suggest you put your ISO to one 3 times faster and your shutter speed the same to allow for the increase in ISO, this should over-come your stability when shooting

    My camera settings are as follows: ISO 800, f6.3 @1/2000. I was at Tv, Shutter Priority. I should have been at 6000 ISO?

    Like most things in photography, we learn by playing around with our settings, I am slowly having similar problems, so I need to change a few things to compensate. I find I use my tripod a lot more, these days.

    a tripod would definatly help out, those carbon fiber ones are very light.
    if you stay with hand held a 2 sec timer might help, i say that because alot of the movement comes from your muscles working the shutter button, if there is a 2 sec delay it gives you time to relax back into holding the camera still.
    i discovered that trick when i forgot to take the camera out of delay setting.
    i don't use it much because i can still hold well.
    generally my settings for birds on the perch are between 500-800, i try to keep as close to 100 iso as possible
