    As you can see in the mentioned pic I was unable to focus the flower and the bird together.But I was not able to focus on the flower properly. I face this kind of issue often.

    Problems I face during this kind of clicks

    1. The bird keeps moving continuously.
    2. rarely I find then in a situation where I can include something else with the bird for the composition.
    3. Exposure gets messed up.

    Camera: z50

    Lens: 50-250mm dx

    Aperture: f/6.3

    Shutter: 1/80

    ISO: 400

    WB: Auto

    EC: 0

    If u want to focus on a single subject go with shallow depth of field which is by lowering ur aperture by smallest f number that ur lens support eg f/4.. it u want to focus multiple object go with a deeper depth of field which by increasing ur aperture step by step based on how many object u wanna to focus may be start from f/8!!!

    Please watch my course on understanding depth of field. That will help you. Also you cannot focus on multiple subjects in the camera. You need to focus on only subject and then using depth of field, you can get the other one in focus based on the factors affecting DoF.
