1D MkIII Dance Settings

[boykinsbuddy]

I just picked up a 1d Mk III and was wondering what other users are setting the CFs to? I read through the Mk III threads and saw Cyber had a programmed setting posted, but you can't read what the settings are. I'll be shooting a 70-200 2.8 on it with a monopod.

Thanks Rene. I saw those and was hoping someone would have a set of CFs put on a table or something similar to what Phil Light set up years ago. I know CyberDyneSystems had a dance file ready to download onto a CF card and then into the camera...but wondered if the actual settings were available to view, or someone else's settings were available.

You could download and apply those settings and once applied, look at them in camera.

That's what I ended up doing. It is interesting to download the few settings users here have posted. They all set their function buttons up differently. I ended up seeing what most were using...read up on the pros and cons...and then finally created my own. They seem to be working pretty well but right now I'm just shooting the rehearsals...lighting was set last night after everyone left and the dress rehearsal is tomorrow. In the past they have allowed me to make last minute lighting changes, adding as much canned white on the stage as possible mixing in with their colored jells...so hopefully I'll see some speeds around 1/400th but 1/200th will be more likely at f/2.8 and the ISO at 1600.
