Hello Canon 40D users. Do you use the custom settings (C1, C2, C3) of your 40D for bird photography? What are your settings?  Thanks |

In addition, what are your general settings, like Picture Style, AF Point, AF mode, metering, White balance, etc. ? ;D

I use C1, C2, and C3. Before going to a site, I usually set them based on the shooting cconditions. For example, when going on a stakeout where there's dark canopy and using a tripod, my C1 would be on low ISO, mirror lockup, and low shutter speed. My C2 would be on high ISO and almost-handholdable shutter speed. C3 would be regular shooting just in case I would want to shoot a well lit bird from the sun peeking through the canopy.
I always go for spot metering and everything manual. I also shoot RAW so the other settings don't mean much to me.
My 0.2 worth.

He-he. I was thinking about cracking exactly the same joke as I was typing that message but held back.
Shows you great insane minds think alike.
