Steve Wolfe > These initial attempts using the RDS were taken at Machado Lake in suburban Los Angeles' Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park. This and the following Mallard shot are sequential using the FZ30's high burst mode at 3 frames per second. While the image is somewhat soft, suffice to say that without the RDS  I couldn't have made the shot at all as it was flying too fast.
Steve Wolfe > This and the following 2 shots are once again sequential using the FZ30's high burst mode. The red dot made tracking a cinch, and the focus stayed "locked on" throughout. The camera settings that seem to work best for me are a high shutter speed of around 1/1000 sec, f4.0 depending on the sunlight (these were taken in late afternoon),and High-Speed 3-area focusing where the camera focuses on any 3 areas in a straight line across the viewfinder. I try to verify that the bird is "locked in" at the beginning to ensure continued sharp focus throughout the sequence.
