What are the guidelines for deciding which minimum focus distance (1.8 m vs 6.5 m) for the Canon 100-400mm IS lens?
Obviously I assume that if the bird is less than 6.5 m away one should use 1.8m and conversely if the bird is more than 6.5 m away use that setting. However are there exceptions to these "rules'' ? I believe the lens focuses more quickly(i.e hunts less) at the 6.5 m setting so that might be a factor.
