Especially the auto-ISO in Manual Mode with easy Exposure Compensation. I also rarly use live view and also rarely shoot video or use flash all of which are battery drains, I recharge each day's battery overnight each night (when the hotel has electricity). As long as I can get a whole day's shoot on one charge I'm happy. Half the time I was using a new LP-E6N battery (same form factor and charger as the LP-E6 but a bit more power) and half the time an LP-E6 from my old 7d (I don't have the BG-E16 Battery Grip so it's just the one battery in the base body). There was no day in my trip where I had to go to my 2nd battery during the day, and some days started at 4:00 am and didn't end till 10:00 pm. However, leaving just the GPS image tagging operational all day did not seem to be a power issue. This really drained the battery - especially since the track log recording continues even when the camera goes to sleep - and, I think, when it is powered off as well As I tend to power on my cameras when I leave the hotel in the morning and not power them off till I go to bed that night (after uploading the day's images to my laptop) having the GPS logging on was not an option. In my pre-trip testing I tried the GPS image tagging with it also saving a track log. But after shooting 50 or so frames I decided to chance it. On this trip to Central America I had only had the 7d2 for a week before we left which I felt was a bit risky. Now that the 7d's pixel count is similar to the 5d3, I feel much more comfortable grabbing the 7d2 than I did with the 7d. The control layout on the old and new 7d's are for the most part identical to those on the 5d3 so it's a piece of cake continously swapping back and forth.

Right now it's the 5d3 and 7d2 (prior to that was the 5d3 and 7d). Click this link to read more.I tend to carry two bodies when I'm out shooting.

Scroll to 2nd option 'Auto switch card'Ģ. If you want to pick and choose the file type just before you take a photo, change the recording option to use card 1 first then switch to card 2 when card 1 is full:Ĥ. Personally that is what I would do, then when you get home you can pick which copy you want to keep.

The procedure above will always record a RAW copy plus a Jpg copy. If you want to pick and choose either RAW or Jpg as you take photos, then the procedure above will not do exactly that.

I use Sandisk Extreme Pro in both of my slots. Also if you choose to use both cards for RAW (so you have a back of each picture as you take them), make sure both cards are HQ with fast write speeds. Note: you can do either part through the menus or either part through the rear screen. Now when you display your settings on the rear LCD (press the info button), you should see both cards listed with the desired file type next to it. Again, use the main control dial to select the desired file type then press the set button Scroll down and select the file type for card 2. Choose the file type by using the main control dial. Scroll to the lower right (using joystick) and select the file type listed for card 1. Press the Q button on the back of the cameraĢ. Select 'Record func' (it will probably say 'Record func.
