Canon R7 & 100-400 II L AF Settings

[dr_gn]

All, I've borrowed a Canon R7 and a 100-400 II L Series lens for an airshow this weekend.

I've used the lens before a few times, but not the body. I'm keen to see how good the AF is.

Quick question - should the IS on the lens be switched off, and let the in-body IS do everything, or are the two somehow compatile? I usually use AF mode 2 for aircraft without much issue.

I've not got much time to figure out settings on this body, so if anyone's got a quick rundown of modes to use that would be great, although I can figure them out by trial end error tomorrow if I run out of research time today.

Thanks.

Regarding the IS....

On the Canon R3 and R5 and I suspect the R7, the lens and body IS systems work together, not as separate systems.

If you have a lens without built in IS, you turn the stabilisation on and off via the camera menu.

If you have a lens with built in IS, that menu item disappears and you turn the IS on and off via the switch on the lens.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. Yep that's fine.
