So I've been doing my test shooting for my telephoto closeups.
I did some testing with autoexposure bracketing, going -3/+3 using 7 shots in manual mode. I'm doing high speed continuous on the 70D, so it goes pretty quickly.
I also did a test run with using aperture priority mode. Again, using -3/+3 in 7 shots.
My question is (and I've never done much shooting in Av mode, so please forgive me)
1) What is the difference between the Av mode and Manual mode 7 shot bursts that I tried (both results came out acceptable to me, but I'd rather make sure I'm understanding what's going on to get the right setting for totality)
2) Which is the better method to be using? In the reference i've been using, they suggested that shutter speed was the better setting to change between shots to get all the different eclipse effects.
Nothing quite like last minute nerves before heading out on this trip...
