AF-S single point, no need to use MF.
I noticed the small red-eye damselfly only in lightroom!

Henk, I agree with this:
"I'm shooting dragonflies in flight in AF-S with single point, because
AF-C is unusable."
I have had great difficulty shooting birds in flight & aerobatics with
the K5 & HD 55-300. I found MF gave the best results but still only

Some dragonflies do indeed hover, so you have sometimes one or more
seconds.
The fast emperor is not one of these, but I have earlier taken some in
flight pics in the way you shoot on a racing circuit.
