In some cases, it doesn’t make a difference for birds in flight, whereas in others, it can affect the score positively. When a new firmware looks relevant, I always try to go back to the kites and test the camera again, but please note this is not always possible due to my working...
The camera will still detect all the birds it can “see” in the frame, even those outside the AF Target, but will prioritise the one that is inside the AF area. If you decide to use the All Target mode, then the camera will give priority to the centre of the frame. A small Targ...
As noted above, even without these added features of the 80D, the 77D is fully capable of capturing high-quality, sharp images, even of difficult moving subjects such as birds in flight. In fact, even without several of the AF customization options that the 80D offers, I was able to cap...
This opens up game-changing possibilities for wildlife images, even with subjects as challenging as birds in flight. Vehicle Detection Carried over from the high-performance Canon EOS R3 camera, the EOS R5 C adds Vehicle Detection AF as a subject detection option, during still-image shooting. ...

As always, please note these are official CIPA measurements, you can achieve more than that in real life. For example, after 3400+ images of birds in flight and various 8K and 4K short clips, I still had 59% left on the Z9.
With the rise of intelligent autofocus, we’ve seen animal detection become a common feature of various mirrorless cameras (Sony, Panasonic and Canon all have it), so I was really eager to try this on the E-M1X and see if it would improve the keeper rate score for birds in flight. Le...
