PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Manual mode for the Brown-throated sunbird.

This Brown-throated sunbird (Antreptes malacensis) is also known as Plain-throated sunbird. It appeared suddenly as I was already in Manual mode and my Canon camera was on a tripod.

No time to waste as it flew off fast. I focused on the eye and took 6 shots. Only one is good enough to see the eye. Canon R5 focuses well on eyes, as shown in this case. .

Free-roaming outside the Aviary of Bird Paradise in Penguin Cove area. This species rarely stay for more than 30 seconds for photography. Best to use TV Mode and focus on eye, handheld camera.

Canon R5, Manual Mode, 105mm, 1/80 sec, f/5.6, ISO 200. Tripod.
