How do I take pictures of planes flying at an airshow? @2-Stroker not that slow - I do sometimes for fun but as long as the aircraft isn't coming in to land on or below 1/320 should work. If the aircraft is on final approach they will have a generally lower throttle setting so the propeller are turning more slowly so you need to reduce the shutter speed still. |

Why does a Leica camera cost so much? @Garik I would be surprised if Ken had actually used, let alone seen most of those lenses. Do yourself a favour and block his appalling site with your router :) |

Where can I find advice on using an advanced AF system for wildlife and bird photography? I tried back button focus but found that losing my thumb as a stabiliser for the back of the camera (as you need to release pressure from the button) caused me to increase camera shake. If you are set up to use AI Servo I can't see why you would want to turn the tracking off to take a photo though. |

Where can I find advice on using an advanced AF system for wildlife and bird photography? Yes it will, it will track as best it can between shutter actuations, I believe it tries to predict the movement of the object based on it's speed etc. |

Where can I find advice on using an advanced AF system for wildlife and bird photography? You need to keep the shutter half pressed for it to continue focusing and then squeeze it to take shots when you want, releasing it to a half press for continued focusing afterwards |

Where can I find advice on using an advanced AF system for wildlife and bird photography? Yes, you need AI Servo for tracking, you won't have much joy with one shot. Those are pretty much my tips for its usage above |

How to calibrate Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen? I don't think there is a "move SE" button, I think you'll just have to copy and paste it there. |

What is the technical name of the lens which has a fixed aperture but zooms? None of that information is requested in the question though |

How to calibrate Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen? Screen calibration isn't a photography exclusive subject and whilst in your particular case it is photography related I feel that if the question was posed explicitly enough (with a definition of calibration), you would have a better chance of getting an answer on the Android SE. |
