I have a Canon 7D Mark II and several lenses. 100-400L II, 70-300L, 15-85.
I shoot a lot of birds in flight.
I am just starting to use Auto ISO in M mode. Prior to Auto ISO I was using Tv mode.
Mostly the same issue applies to both.
I would like to add about 2/3 stop when shooting above the tree line because in general the sky is lighter than the bird and the bird is too dark.
I would like to siubract about 2/3 of a stop when shooting below the tree like for the opposite reason.
Two questions
a) How do others handle this?
b) Right now I use the Selection Lever to pick the focus area - single point, single point plus 4 helpers, etc.
I keep my camera in AI-Servo and have the AF-On button programmed to One Shot when pressed and AI Servo when released.
Is it possible to add the above compensation two one or two buttons (+ or -).
Right now I go to Menu and set compensation but that's very slow.
Thanks.
