Stick with Full Size Class 10 32 GB SD Cards (SDHC). DO NOT USE Micro SD Cards in an Adapter these cause the most problems. Also DO NOT USE one large 128 GB SD Card. Use multiple smaller 32 or 64 GB card. Also stick with major brands such as Lexar and Sandisk. Always buy memory cards from a reputable retailer. There have been many reports of counterfeit memory cards from Amazon.
- Stick to with a camera store or an electronics store for memory cards. Use multiple smaller SD Cards instead of one large one. Always stick with well known camera stores such as B&H Photo, Adorama and any local camera stores.
- Always shoot in the RAW Format. Also use Canon's free DPP photo editing software. A RAW File is NOT viewable without proper conversion to Jpeg.
- Avoid using AI Focus and AI Servo (Continuous AF). Stick with One Shot AF
- If you don't already know the exposure triangle. I would watch a few videos on YouTube to learn about it. Follow along with the video while using your camera.
- Practice with your camera before a large shoot.
- DO NOT under any circumstances turn the focus ring on the lens with the AF/ MF switch on the lens set to Autofocus. The kit lens (EF-S 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6 IS II lens) doesn't support Manual Focus Override (Manual Focus after One Shot). Only certain lenses support this feature. Turning the focus ring with the AF/ MF switch set to AF will cause damage to the lens. The lens name will say STM or USM on them if they support Manual Focus Override.
- Use Continuous Drive Shooting Mode
