My Conclusions
Using the Shooting Banks and Custom
Banks Together
Now that you have set up and named each of the banks you
are interested in using, you are ready to make your camera act
like a chameleon (or herd of chameleons). You know how
each Shooting menu bank and Custom setting bank is
configured. Now you can use them together.
Often, I will use a combination of Shooting menu bank A and
Custom setting bank A. But nothing prevents you from using
Shooting menu bank B with Custom setting bank D or
Shooting menu bank C with Custom setting bank A. Choose
whatever combination you’d like to use. That’s where the
camera’s extreme flexibility comes in.
Maybe you have Shooting menu bank A set for best quality
JPEGs and are shooting them with Custom setting bank A,
which is set for no focus tracking. Suddenly, a flock of geese
flies by and you realize you must use focus tracking to
accurately capture the one big fat goose you like. You simply
press the MENU button, scroll to Custom setting bank B and
you are set. (You did configure Custom setting bank B for
focus tracking, right?)
Or, maybe while you’re using Shooting menu bank A for fine
quality JPEGS, an incredibly beautiful rainbow appears. You
quickly switch to Shooting menu bank C, where you’ve
previously set lossless RAW mode for maximum quality.
