Processed a couple more images from that session. I didn’t refocus once the camera locked on the chipmunk. As you can see there is some intervening foliage to contend with. I did get a clean opening closest to me, but farther back there is stuff in front of the animal. According to what I read about the technology, it’s designed with that kind of thing in mind. To ‘see through’ branches and stuff and stay locked on the animal. Interesting.
This one is a big crop -

I’m chuffed that the eyes are so sharp.
