Best Camera Settings for Birds in Flight.

In this video, I advise on the best settings for capturing birds in flight. I'm using the new “bird-eye detect“ feature recently introduced to the Nikon Z8. WOW!

I combine Nikon's incredible 3D mode and aircraft detect mode. Shooting birds, on the other hand, seems to be much easier. I was expecting to be dithering around trying to find the best combination of focus modes when, in fact, the best mode was precisely what it said on the tin!
