7D settings

Heres a setting for sports shotting I found that a lot of sport shooters seem to like.

These settings from what I gather is for pro sports shooters, so I imagine it will be good for BIF also. Now we need Portrait and Landscape settings.

Picture Style - Standard (but sharpness upped to 4)

C.Fn III: Autofocus Drive
1 - AI Servo tracking Sensitivity: Set to -1
2 - AI Servo 1st/2nd img priority - Set to 0 - AF priority/Tracking Priority
3 - AI Servo Tracking Method - Set to 0 - Main Focus point priority (that way the camera focuses on what you want, not what it wants)
4 - Lens Drive when AF impossible - Set to 0
5 - AF Microadjustment - Set to 0 (Most people have said this is ineffective. Even the manual says it needs to be done on location where you are shooting to do any good.)
6 - AF area select mode - I have single point w/expansion selected and single point. Been shooting mostly on single point w/expansion for sports.
7 - AF Manual pt. selection pattern - Set to 1 (Continuous)
8 - VF display illumination - set to 1 (Enable)
9 - Display all AF points - Set to 0
10 - Focus Display in AI Servo/MF - Set to 0
11 - AF-assist beam firing - set to 2 (Enable to external flash only)
12 - Orientation linked AF point - Set to 0
13 - Mirror lockup - Set to 0 (Disable)

C.FN IV: Operations/Others

Shutter button is set to Meter only
AF-ON button is turned OFF (too easy to hit accidentally)
AE lock button (*) is set for metering and AF Start

I don't believe there is a way to high pass sharpen a raw, unless some 3rd party tools allow it. It requires layering. I do it with the JPG in photoshop, I have it part of a general action where it cleans noise, adds a bit of contrast, a bit of saturation, some leveling, and then high pass.

so do you edit it in Lightroom or whatever you use prior to using high pass sharpening?

I bring up the JPG generated from the raw into Photoshop CS3, I crop what I want to keep, and I run one action I created against the image, and I save. I have about 5 different types of actions I have built, and based on what I see in the image IQ-wise, I choose one of those to run, and it runs a series of steps I have programmed into it. Some of these do high-pass sharpening, others just do USM.

I doubt that. Teamspeed is the resident expert on the 7D, have you perused the FAQ he put together on it?

I am looking but don't see them. Where are these FAQ?

TS Question for you, with regards to micro adjusting your lens to your camera, how do you approach that when you have more than one body. Ok, you MA for body A, but then you want to use body B, do you need to go through the same process for that body.

Thanks for linking to 7D faq, and also thank you for the time involved to help others.

Micro adjustment is a body only parameter. So yes, if I use a lens on 2 different bodies, I would go through the MFA process with that lens on both bodies, setting each one up independently.

The only time you have an issue is if you use 2 of the same kind of lens on one body, because the MFA values are not based on serial numbers of the lens, but rather its focal range/aperture values. So if you use 2 different 24-70Ls on a body, they will both use the same MFA value.
