Hummers @ 1/3200

OK! This morning I went back to the mechanical shutter after
yesterday's weird ES effect. I shot these at 1/3200, ISO 1600.

Very nice photos, and no more shutter-induced distortion. Great.

Interesting what the camera picked as focus distance, in the pictures
with multiple birds. In both of them, there's a somewhat out-of-focus
bird in front of what appears to be the main / centered subject.

Really nice photos. Have you tried this yet with a smaller aperture,
just to see how many birds you can get in focus while still using a
high shutter speed, and a low enough ISO to get about the same IQ?
There's no actual purpose, just curious how far you can push things
with that gear.

I think that has to do with the AF-C with the Fujifilm "Zone Tracking".
I was deliberately trying to lock on a bird in motion rather than one
which had already settled. So the actual focus point(s) were constantly
moving within the zone once the target bird had been selected. That
also dictated my use of a high shutter speed.

I am pretty much in the experimental, "how far can I push this" phase,
so I will be trying just that. I
suspect there will be a sweet spot (in good light) somewhere in the
1/2000-1/4000, and f/8-f/11 range. I have been shooting these with Auto
ISO with an ISO 200 base and ISO 1600 cap. All of the shots taken this
morning ended up at ISO 1600, the shots I took yesterday, also at Auto
ISO 200-1600, ended up as a mix of ISO 800, ISO 1250, & ISO 1600.

I will probably also use Auto ISO 3200 in these trials.

Any post done on those 3?

A tad. I am a Lightroom junkie after all, but if you are curious I can
provide the uncropped, unmolested SOOC JPEGs.

They look pretty sharp, so I guess you didn't do much sharpening.
That's what I was most curious about.
