Ah, yes. Raw is the only way to go for you to be making all your own creative decisions about each image. Just like Ansel Adams! Lol! I used spot metering all the time with my 5D Mk II, but have to figure it out with this one. Perhaps I ought to actually read the manual! Lol! Maybe I need 80D for Dummies too.

One thing I have noticed is just how noisy the shutter is. One picture of a butterfly and it’s scared off!!

I know it’s the mirror making that infernal noise. My 5D must have been more insulated.
