Inspired by Duade Paton's youtube video I have been attempting to get to grips with the variable priority mode (Fv) on my Canon R6 Mk2. As you can see I have some way to go. The mode is extremely powerful and once you are used to it you will have total control of all the main variables with just two dials.

In my case I missed several shots in my first excursion as the settings defaulted back to their originals every time the camera automatically went into its power down mode. Hopefully I have now solved this by using the custom dial settings to various Fv configurations.

I cannot wait to try it out in my next session!
