Do you use manual exposure mode much ? Do you want the green button to shift a certain parameter (Tv/Av/ISO) when pressed in M mode?

Then set up the "green button in M mode" to perform the desired shift. This will also have an undocumented feature of using the same parameter shift if you want to bracket in M mode.

Maybe its just me, but the first thing I do with a new camera is to go through the manual from page 1 !

A few more tips....

Getting the card out of slot 1 is more fiddly than slot 2. So i use 2 as my first card. How to make the camera record to slot 2 first.... put a card in slot2 only and switch on, then switch off and insert a card in slot 1. The camera will now use slot 2 first.

To check if you have nailed the focus you want to zoom 10x (100%). You can set the camera to snap to 10x view on one click of the rear dial.

The USER modes all start with the camera default settings including Autofocus adjustment...ie none. So if you have made numerous changes to the default settings or AF adjustments and want to retain those in your USER modes, save the USER mode by starting in Av Tv etc and then "save as" USER 1 etc.

My experience is that if a zoom needs +10 (for example) at the long end it will also require +10 at the short end and mid zoom. Test all three, but for me the AF adjustment worked throught the range.

1. Use the Auto-Focus Fine Adjustment settings for each of your lenses. It can make a big difference.
