So, you know how to use all the features of your camera when you need them? No matter if you just got a new DSLR or have had one for a while, playing with features is the best way to learn what might help your photography. Here’s a quick idea to get you started. Every year with the cold temps and snow, icicles hanging from our roof always grab my attention. I always go for the lazy man’s way of catching that drop as it falls. What’s the lazy man method? Thanks for asking as it pertains to this blog’s topic. I start by using HSC – High Speed Crop. This not only crops the FX sensor of the D5 but more importantly, speeds up the FPS by 1 frame per second. Next, I raised the ISO to 1600 and dialed in -1 exp comp, both giving me a faster shutter speed. I went to Auto Area AF to take advantage of its Closest Subject Priority and of course, I was in CH motordrive. So, shooting with the D5<\/a> \/ 300PF<\/a> w\/TC-14eIII<\/a>, just as I saw the drop about to fall, I ripped off 8-10 frames real easily since I’m shooting 12FPS. How many of the features I mentioned do you know, know so well you can pull them out when you need them to make the photo at the moment? Playing like this is the best way to learn them so when you do need them, you have them. And it’s a helluva lot of fun too!<\/p>\n
