3 x CUSTOM SETTINGS FOR 7D

[andnowimbroke]

Don't forget. The good/bad thing about those three setting is if you ever tweak something, it will revert back to what it was programmed for before you realize it. It's a love/hate thing.

Hi, I use them frequently, but I don't use permanent settings for C1-C3. I change them from one session to the other. I ususally think of them as C1 for still subjects and C3 for the fastest action liekly to happen on a particular photosession. E.g. a day by the sea I store a typical landscape setting under C1 and maybe a bird in flight-setting under C3. Another day I may store a setting for an audience overview at a sports event under C1, a player portrait setting under C2 and the action setting under C3. Be careful with custom settings that lock the exposure (M mode with fixed ISO) - you will likely adjust e.g. shutter speed for correct exposure, but if you don't shoot for a while the camera will revert to the stored setting.
