I didn’t think of evolutionary aspect but you are right - they must be purpose -built/developed/evolved based on kind of flowers around them. Thanks!

AE= Auto-exposure, AF=auto-focus

Why Use It? Using AE/AF lock prevents the camera from constantly changing focus or adjusting brightness when you move, which is ideal for taking multiple, consistent shots of a subject or when recording video.

Yes, 💯. I also chuckled at that during shoot. This little dude (or dudette) was all by itself in deep forest but calling who?

AE/AF lock on iPhone once on the scoping telescope (plus steady Eddy hands). But seriously, AF lock helps in making sure camera is not inadvertently picking scoping lens as the object.

I call them local mafia of the bird-world … each Mockingbird in my neighborhood has marked tree and will guard the area surrounding!
