G9 and 100-400 please test this for me

With this combination focusing speed in 6K is still ok, when i use pre-burst the focusing is painfully slow, would some one test it for me please.
I have switched the focus limiter off and am working close in.

My use has been somewhat limited, trying to catch bees or butterflies taking off from a flower. It's worked for me as long as I have time to acquire focus before the event. I did find it a bit frustrating at times though.

I find the Eshutter (20 fps) using my BIF settings works well for flying insects.

Yes, my problem is reacting fast enough... old and slow

Know what you mean. Sometimes I am still quick on the draw.

Those wings are exhibiting rolling shutter, only way to fix that is to use mechanical shutter.
