    80D wildlife users

    I know that there are a few of us on here that use the 80D for wildlife ,and having just bought my second one I found that the set up was a bit daunting ,searching online I came across a wildlife set up guide by a chap called grant Atkinson and having put his settings into the camera it does seem he knows what he's doing

    Looks interesting Jeff, thanks a lot for that. To be honest, I've probably only scratched the surface of all of the settings I could play with so I expect that to be rather useful.

      These are useful starting points, but I note most of the photos used are large slow-moving or still subjects, not much like the wildlife we mainly have in this country. I put similar settings on my 80D and saved them under C1, then reset everything to default before going through it all again for macro, which I saved under C2 So I basically use C1 for telephoto stuff, C2 for macro and usually Av with various settings for everything else.

        a good point Richard most of it comes under general usage hints and tips and set to own requirements ,but he does go into how the a/f system works a bit better than most ,and the two points I needed help on where setting the focus points to move on the control pad in a fluid movement without switching it via the from button ,and the use of exposure compensation in manual mode which you can't do unless its switched on to work

          Interesting that he disables all of the lens correction options. Various other guides I've looked at keep a couple of these on. Are we getting to the stage where there are more settings than we need?
