Custom Shooting Banks

Most serious cameras offer custom shooting modes — slots (C1, C2, C3 on the dial, or banks) that save a complete configuration: aperture, ISO, shutter, AF mode, film simulation, drive mode, metering.

For street photography, set up two or three banks:

Bank 1 — Daylight street:

Aperture Priority | f/8 | Auto ISO 200–1600 | Min shutter 1/500 | AF-C | Classic Chrome JPEG
