Hi Guys,

Thanks so much for all your help on my previous thread.

I had posted an update and mentioned some issues grabbing a focus point. The scenario was a bird in a heavily branch tree. Was placing one of the focus dots, the middle one (is that what they are?) but it just wouldn't focus on the bird in question.

Real downer - as it was a stunning bird (Scarlet Robin I think) that was metres from me!

Details as follows:

Camera - Nikon d3500
Lens - AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR

Exif:
155mm
1/125 sec shutter speed
f/7.1 aperture
ISO 800

How do I get better at telling the camera what I need in focus? Any tricks?
