Last weekend brought this camera along with 70-300mm VR lens to see what this combination can do.
First few images were OOF, shoting RAW with aperture of f4.9 with CH shutter. For focus point, I'm using single point.
Pictures were fine but most of them were OOF.Then focus point changed to 'Group-area'. Stay out from this focus point if you want to shot fast moving objects.
After few tries, my settings changed to large fine jpeg, f6.3, still at CH and focus point changed to 3d.
This is where it all changes. 97% of pictures taken were in focus. Exposure were great too.
Shooting fast moving object with this lens - Jpeg (RAW is good too), f5.6 or higher, CH, and importantly, focus point at 3d
Rest of settings, spot-metering, AF-C ( auto-focus continuous ) ...
If you guys / gals have a better settings for shooting fast moving subjects, please do share with us ...
picture below, OOC, no editing just crop.

Hmm... I have not tried the new 80-400 yet but it should produce sharp images although it will still loose out to 400mm 2.8 prime.
What's your shutter speed when doing birding?
I am thinking of getting this lens for birding but may not have enough reach. Putting a 1.4x converter infront will further degrade the performance.

Those BIF pics were shot at 1/2000s. I find that D810 does not acquire focus as fast as my previous D4. But on paper, the D810 AF is supposed to be on par with D4S. Anyway, still learning how to shoot better with this higher resolution camera. I have the new 1.4 teleconverter too. But I think it does not go very well with my 80-400. Now awaiting eagerly the release of the new 600mm
The D810 being 36MP is less forgiving then 16MP. That being said, I've been using single point and 3d AF tracking very well for BIF shooting on my Tamron 150-600mm. (Cant afford D4/80-400/600mm to compare)
This was AF-C, Single Point AF (center)
