My G3 with 100-300 lens should be arriving shortly, and I won't have much time to experiment with bird photography before going on a trip. Would be interested to hear settings recommendations regarding the following (earlier panny cameras with the same lens might have similar reqts, so feel free to chime in if you have one of those):
--Image stabilization: on for both camera and lens, or only one?
--Noise reduction? (I plan to be shooting JPEGs and do no or minimal post processing).
--Sharpening?
--ISO (auto or ?) Don't want to go higher than 1600.
--Aperture priority exposure setting at 5.6? (I'm assuming I'll be at max zoom most of the time for bird photos).
--Extended optical zoom on?
--autofocus setting, e.g. spot focusing?
