Sony focus settings for bird and wildlife photography with SONY A7RIV camera and 200-600 lens 

My recommended focus settings and techniques for shooting pin sharp images of animals and birds with the Sony A7RIV paired with the 200-600 G lens from Sony with Ruan Davey.
.....and to avoid camera shake, remember to use a tripod when ever possible!!
This video is really aimed at newish birding enthusiasts who might be considering to upgrade to this more affordable and versatile combo, (as compared to say the A1 with a prime lens)….I discuss some my preferred focus settings, for shooting wildlife and birds on this combo but also common to most Sony Alpha full frame cameras. This is not a detailed technical review of the focus settings and not aimed at seasoned professionals.
I’ve shot on Sony cameras for many years but only recently purchased the A7RIV and 200-600 in May this year and love it so far!
I’ve included some wildlife and birding pics shot with the A7RIV in Etosha National Park towards the end of the video.
Hope you may find it interesting!
