Improved 5D2 visits Candaba wetlands

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

With a new manual exposure firmware for video, I tried the 5D2 at Candaba wetlands today - both at BIF stills and of course video footages.
It's so much easier filming birds with the new firmware, and I was rewarded with a couple of video-lifers: an Oriental Pratincole and a perched Grass Owl.
The 5D2's AI servo works amazingly well as usual, allowing me some aerial captures of the fast-flying Pratincole which is now sporting a breeding plumage.
