Best CAMERA SETTINGS for WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY.

Best CAMERA SETTINGS for WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY. Guts details his "go-to" camera settings for wildlife photography.
It is important as a wildlife photographer to remain focused on your subject, so having default camera settings to revert to, when you need it, makes all the difference.

As wildlife is largely unpredictable, changing some of the custom settings will enable you to work and react much faster and become more efficient in capturing that magic moment.
For this demonstration, Guts is using a Canon EOS 80D DSLR Camera with a Sigma 150-600mm lens. These are the cameras and lenses we supply, free of charge, to our clients when they stay with us in The Chobe but don't have their own gear.
Guts' go-to settings on Manual Mode are:
1. Shutter speed 1/2,500 sec.
2. Aperture f/8.
3. Auto ISO - cap at 3,200.
4. Auto white balance.
5. Single focus point with four "helpers"
6. Partial light metering.
7. Set your camera on the fastest shutter rate possible. High Speed.
8. Always make sure that your exposure compensation is on zero.
