Wow a KF In-Flight, that's difficult to catch I imagine. Very nice capture Bong, seems you're really enjoying that 1D very much.  |

Thanks guys. There were actually three of them that passed by me while I was waiting for the resident raptor in Sabang. They were so fast, but the 1DMKII's AF was able to capture this last KF in the pack. This combination (1DMKII & 400mm) is simply amazing. It did not escape the power of the 1DMKII's AF as it passed behind the top of a coconut tree.  |

It's not entirely the camera. The amazing combination is the man and the "machine", the Indian and the pana (bow and arrow). |

BTW Bong, check the firmware of your 1DM2 if it's already V. 1.2.6. This latest FW allows the 1DM2 to recognize cards larger than 8 GB. Here's the FW download link: web.canon.jp/imaging/eos1dm2/eos1dmk2_firmware-e.htmlCaution - in case you're updating camera FW for the first time, please read the instructions carefully. A botched FW update can disable your camera and will need a trip to Canon service. Also, I believe that Canon service does FW updates for free. I do my FW updates myself and it takes but a few minutes. |
