Last RAW File Before the 1D X M2 JPEG Mystery....
This Black-capped Chickadee image was created with the tripod-mounted Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM Autofocus lens, the Canon 1.4x EF Extender III (teleconverter), and the Canon EOS-1D X digital SLR ISO 800. Evaluative metering -1 stop: 1/200 sec. at f/10 in Av mode.
Why Av mode here? The light was changing constantly from bright sunny to cloudy and I found it easier to go from -1 stop when it was cloudy to -1 1/3 stops when the sun came out rather than having to make major changes to both aperture and shutter speed whenever the lighting conditions changed as I would have to have done if I were working in Manual mode.
This image was created at a set-up in Noyac, NY
