• UPDATE



    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

Following on from an earlier thread of mine re camera setup new bodies give an overwhelming array of AF options. These are the kind of settings that change as your use does but I thought it might be interesting to see where people are with their personal customization and usage.

I have been a 1DS MkIII user for years and whilst it is a great camera one of the many areas where there have been huge changes is in AF and customization, I never even bothered with AFMA because it seemed to make no difference in results!

Now I have new cameras I am still working through my options as a generalist, indeed until I get a decent amount of use out of them it seems churlish to change off factory.

So currently I have the AF-ON button set to turn AF off, I find this much more intuitive and gives me no thumb strain than BBF.

I also have the front programable button to set switch between Servo and Single shot AF, and the first and second shot priority set to focus (out of focus shots have zero value to me).

So what have you set as your favorite settings so far?
