Nifty! I love those birds, and have nothing but a crappy shot of one.

EXIF doesn't seem to want to tell me which lens you used? At 100 mm, that bird 
was pretty close, no?

or just scroll from the first.

AFF on the G9 is my crutch, very impressed with how I can track soaring birds - most of the time,

I've been using the diamond of central focus points, AFS and Medium Burst Mode for flying birds, and other moving things, and it's worked quite well.

it's also happy on occasion to maintain consistent out-of-focus :-( .

Panny's Depth From Defocus focusing is a two edged sword. When it works, which is almost all the time, it's faster than other CDAF implementations. Certainly faster than the E-M5 II, and it's the big reason the above choice for birds works. When it misses, it's a pain, and generally hard to convince otherwise.

OTOH, I've been learning the PDAF focus of the Sony RX10 (and RX100). It's quick, it's accurate - except when, with a complex, 3D subject, it focuses at a different depth than I would like. ;-)  At least it allows magnified manual fine focus adjustment to the AF.

Gee, X-9 Moose
