Probably because you have all 45 points enabled. For birds you could select the central sensor only or central plus surrounding points.

I read the entire Mark IV white paper. In a nutshell, it says that if you know your exposure then either disable the auto lighting optimizer or set it to low (even when you are shooting raw).
