    Default AF choices for Canon 7D

    There are several AF choices for the 7D. Which do you think is best for bird photography - hummingbirds in particular?

    Thanks
    Nancy

    High Nancy. For hovering, feeding and perching hummers I like single-point or single-point expanded focus points. I see no need to change anything with the AI servo speed. If you're close enough that you're using an extension tube, then you might benefit from going to 9-point and chosing your AF point to be on the eye.

    Thank you David. That helps a lot.
