Hi Martin,

Thanks.

I have no experience with the 1DX III … With previous camera bodies it seemed that the settings did not matter very much. I will try to put you in touch with Clemens.

with love, artie

I’m a new user of the 1D-X-Mark III, coming from the 7D-Mark-II. Over the years I’ve customised my birding settings on that camera but the six cases on the 7D-Mark II don’t easily map onto the four on the 1D-X-Mark III. Have you any experience as to which Cases [1-4/A] are most suitable for a) perched birds and b) birds in flight, accepting that birds in flight can either fly in a straight and predictable line (think ducks), ride the air currents (think raptors) or just fly totally unpredictably (think swifts and swallows)? I need to be able to respond to these different situations, and quickly, and cases are a good way to change multiple settings instantaneously. Any suggestions? As usual with a new camera, I’m finding setting up the AF a little befuddling.
