Thanks for replying. I will assume IS is on then as i have set it for him now.
I will stick with the Crazyfinger settings for C1 and C2

Thank you for letting me join!

Hi! I've birded most of my life and purchased a used SX50 a few years ago and mainly used it on auto. I now have time to learn how to use the camera settings for better results.

Thanks to the many posts which have helped already.

Where can I find an explanation of this statement?

And I'd say that if one uses the 2x often, set it to the outside "S" button. The "S" button is variable and can be set to turn on and off a menu option without the need to go into the menus while trying to get a shot before the critter leaves the scene.

I'm new to BF and to using mt SX50 settings. What does 'set it to outside the 'S' button and what is the 's'button?

TIA

Hi, welcome.

There is an index on p. 81. Under "Topics in detail" there is an entry "Digital Converter", the link takes you to an instructive post on page 17.

The "S" button is to the left of the viewfinder or, more precisely, to the left of the diopter adjustment wheel.

Has any SX50 user here made the jump to the SX70? If so, how is the image quality comparison?

I've seen several references to Crazyfinger's settings, but can't find them. Can anyone post a link, please?

Here.

This index might help too. Page numbers aren't right (at least for me!) but post number is still correct.

Thanks for that. Why are the links wrong? Something to do with the forum upgrade?

I'm a bit late to the party with this camera. Are people still using it, or has everyone moved on?

I suspect most have moved on. I loved mine, but upgraded to the SonyRX10 iii six years ago when I wanted a bigger sensor.

The current version is the Canon SX70.

Cheers
Mike

I still have three working SX50's though one is a bit creaky. My kids use them when they need something better than their phones. But I want them back

I got an SX70 last May. After a lot of tinkering and testing, I'm getting better shots at maximum zoom than the SX50 was providing. I only use the SX70 now.
