Hi, Chris !
Let me share my principal setting of the GH2 with you.
I shoot RAW !
Focus Priority is set to off.
Film choice is "dynamic" although I think this has no influence in RAW
Of course, when shooting birds in flight, you need to shoot a lot of pictures to get a few good ones.
The pics I'm showing here (the mows) are from a series of 50 !
That's only 10% success factor
Here's some more birds

Have a nice weekend,
