I was searching for some information on my 50d and I came across this sight for setting of the 50 d…I thought why not I will set one of my creative modes using the settings above. Just an hour before the sun was looking for a spot to rest I was out shooting…we live on a lake so there are birds everywhere….Suddenly as if in slow motion there it is ….a beautiful White Herring coming straight for me flying low to the ground and rising up just over my head, I wheeled around my camara already at my eye and I heard the motor focus as I set the shots…I was excited but I did my best not to shake while I fired off the shots……The Bird made 2 slow passes …..when I got in I had many shots to pour through ….then I saw it ….the shots were unbelivable and this is the reason the excitement for a photographer…..to say I got it….I got the shot……Perfectly display light glossing its stretched wings and a super super shot…… Thankyou ….right place right settings and didnt flinch….

For which camera? Do you have our User’s Guide for that camera?

What about Auto Lighting Optimizer, what do you set that to?

Thanks

In order to focus with the star button on the MII, you needed to set a custom function. It is the same with the 50D, but the CFs are different so you need to consult your camera body manual. Good luck.

I just picked up a 50D as a second camera body to my 1D Mark II and am trying to configure the custom functions. On my Mark II, I press the star button to focus and the shutter to take the picture. This works well in either horizontal or vertical grip. However, I cannot figure out the function to have the 50D do the same. Can you help? Thanks,

Hi Yatin, I am going to post some information that will help right now. Check it out and then get back to me after you have done the two tests.

I have canon eos 50d with 100mm-400mm l series lens. I am birds lover. But i can’t click flying birds. I use AI servo and selected centre AF point, but the bird is not perfect focus. What should i do. Plz reply me on my email ID. thank you………

Thank you to William! I am taking a color photography course and for the life of me could not get my ISO below 200———-thank goodness for coming across this post–helpful, however, the responses were what saved my life!

are these settings good for sport shooting? I shoot alot of soccer, majority of my photos come out great, I have problems when the sun goes down and I am shooting with the school field lights. Get way too many blurred shots and I have tried lowering the f-stop number to upping the shutter speed to upping the ISO. Can’t seem to get it right. I know it is quite difficult to do but I know it can be somewhat done. I use the Canon EF 70-200mm L series 2.8 lens
