When shooting action I seldom have time to confirm but do so before with test shot if practical and after. I have image review set to come up after every shot and restrict it to see the histogram and the "blinkies". Yes I am a histogram watcher and trust it but not the image on the camera screen. I shot the 4 images I shared along with many others over a couple of weeks in February 2020 these were on 2 consecutive days. All shot here in Boise, Idaho so a low angle of sun that time of year and from other shots the 2 days these were shot on it appears to have been sunny. All 4 with Nikon D500 and Tamron 150-600 G2 all in Manual with auto ISO and all center weighted metering. I used varying settings depending on the light, the subject and the effect trying to get. In order the single Goldeneye 2-10-20 at 11:48 AM, panning fast (which blurs the water, focal length 600mm, 0 EV so no over exposure, ISO 250, 1/1000 sec. (gives wing blur on these fast little ducks) f/6.3. Canada Goose on takeoff, 2-11-20 at 6:31 PM, panning slower, 210mm focal length, OEV so no over exposure, ISO 200, 1/40 sec, f/16. Canada Goose fly by 2-11-20 at 6:35 PM panning quickly, 210mm focal length, panning medium speed, OEV so no overexposure, ISO400, 1/40 sec, f/16. Goldeneye floc 2-11-20 at 7:08 PM OEV so no overexposure, ISO 900, 1/40 sec, f/8. I hope this helps.
