I have now configured everything on U2 like you. Thanks for the excellent tutorial. Two questions. You do not use the back AF-ON. Any reason why? Max continuous release on mine was set to 200 as default. What does it affect when settings to 30?
I do use back-button AF-ON, I say that in the video. Also I set the maximum continuous release to 30 has most times, that's enough. But if I'm out photographing birds in flight I'll increase it to 50
Hi Charles I am quite new to photography and mostly have my 6ii set to aperture when you have the wildlife settings stored in U1 does that mean i need to adjust aperture and shutter speed when in U1 ? Thanks in advance
My advice would be the following. > Select Manual Mode > select the setting that you want (auto-iso, shutter speed 1/1600, Aperture - f5.6, Release mode - Continuous high, Metering Mode - Center-weighted, AF-area Mode - Dynamic-area AF. Once you have done this > Go to Setup Menu > Choose Save User Setting > Select Save to U1 > press OK > Save Settings > press OK All your setting will now have been saved to the U1 Mode.
I have a question for you. You do a lot of bird photography and know a lot about bird behavior. I live in northern Ohio USA. I observed last week some peculiar Red Robin behavior. A Grackle appeared to have snatched a young chick from the robin’s nest and had it on the ground. The two Red Robin’s started buzz bombing the Grackle which I thought not unusual. What was unusual was 10 other Red Robin’s joined in the buzz bombing the Grackle. I have never seen group defense among Red Robins, any thoughts?
I've found that even birds that do stay in a group will at times join together if they see a threat that could affect them. So they'd see the Grackle as a threat to their own chicks
Gorgeous, I ssaved all to U2 and move from there, many thanks.
