Time spent setting settings

[Manfred M]

I spend a few seconds setting the shutter speed, aperture & iso to get the exposure. I never spend any time clicking through menus because I use the buttons/wheels to change the setting while looking through the view finder. The menu is a really slow way to change settings and once your fingers learn the controls of your camera you will hardly need to use the menu.

I only use the menu to activate something special like mirror lock up, to format a card something like that. Normal shooting all controlled by the buttons/dials.

The main advantage of high end consumer and pro cameras is that this is what has been done; frequently used functionality is available through on-camera controls that can be accessed without taking one's eye away from the viewfinder, rather than via menus as per the entry-level and mid-range consumer offerings.

Time spent setting settings ?

As little time as I can.
