Normally when I go out for a stroll with the RX10 MkIV, I set it up in P mode with a central focus rectangle.
Yesterday, while walking at Oakwood Cemetery, the spotter-in-chief points up and says "hawk." (She noticed it because of a shadow traversing the ground; she's uncanny like that.)
I look up, point the camera, zoom way in, can't keep the bird in the focus rectangle long enough to press the button and get a lock-on.
So then I think: let's see how smart this camera really is . . . I move the dial to AUTO mode and try it again.
The camera locks on in an instant:
Cheers, Jock
