Does you friend has a stabilised lens? If so, you only need a high
shutter speed (1/500) for flying birds. Generally you can get away
with much lower speeds if the birds are roosting.
Ultimately, if you want to have sharp pictures where you can see
individual feather filaments, you wouldn't want to go beyond ISO 320.

Gooday birders
A friend of mine has a digital SLR camera on which he sets the ISO
at 1200
to take bird photos with a 100 - 400 zoom lens. However the images
seem a
bit grainy, in old speak, or noisy in digital speak. We have tried
to get
closer to the bird subjects but the images seem to lack the
sharpness and
richness of colour and detail that I have seen produced by some of the
photographers on birding-aus. So, could you people who produce the
superb
digital images of birds please offer some advise on ISO settings. If
possible could you relate the digital ISO settings to the ASA
settings of
film. There may be something else he needs to know so any advise
would be
appreciated. For myself I do not have a digital SLR camera and
probably
won't get one for a while yet.
