Lots of 'em. Way too many for one thread and more added all the time, so dive into this forum and you'll still be learning new things about your camera weeks and months from now. Congrats and enjoy!

Welcome and congrats Chris. You have good taste. Best answer I can give is check the manual controls and user presets. Go from there, shoot shoot and shoot.

2--When you get accustomed with custom settings, set the focus response to slow. Much easier to do repeatable focus pulls with a slow response and the distance readout meter. 3--Change the default low gain switch to -3 dB. It ships with 0 dB as the default. |

Haha
My changes before reading Barlow's report...
*auto gain I found out how to turn off... pretty annoying! *-3 gain is MUCH better! I guess there is a group think going on here. I am also hearing things about the standby lock switch auto off thingy... I'm on it. I'll give that slow focus a try. |
