I have posted this image not for artistic critique but to ask about the out of focus area above the Anna’s Hummingbird. I was just playing around, experimenting with animal and eye detection (works like a charm even in this crazy scenario) focusing late in the afternoon yesterday with strong backlighting - a setting sun shining through an Arizona Cypress tree next to my deck. The hummer was 12 feet away. Look at the branches and needles above the Anna’s Hummingbird. They were about a foot behind the hummer. Of course they’re out of focus (my in-focus on the Anna’s eye depth of field was about a half inch), but it’s like I see double - some kind of ghosting or whatever. Just wondering why this is happening. Note the EXIF of the image. I did have Sport VR on if that matters. Wondering if this has to do with the Z9’s electronic shutter or is something else contributing to this? The quality of the out of focus area is not my issue. Of course there is too little background separation. It’s the strange effect of the doubling of some parts of the image behind the hummer that has me curious. Thanks in advance for your feedback. Jim
