Custom Shooting Banks
Most serious cameras offer custom shooting modes — slots (C1, C2, C3 on the dial, or banks) that save a complete configuration: aperture, ISO, shutter, AF mode, film simulation, drive mode, metering.
For street photography, set up two or three banks:
Bank 1 — Daylight street:
Aperture Priority | f/8 | Auto ISO 200–1600 | Min shutter 1/500 | AF-C | Classic Chrome JPEG
Bank 2 — Low light / night:
Aperture Priority | f/2.8 | Auto ISO 800–6400 | Min shutter 1/125 | AF-C | ACROS JPEG
Bank 3 — Flash:
Manual | f/8 | ISO 400 | 1/180 | Single AF | Classic Chrome JPEG
The value: switching context takes one dial click. No menu diving in the street. You leave a bar at night (Bank 2) and step into afternoon sun (Bank 1) — one click and you're reconfigured.
Fujifilm calls these 'Custom Settings'. Sony calls them 'Memory Recall'. Canon uses 'Custom Shooting Mode'. The principle is identical across manufacturers.
The point: spending time on menus while shooting is time you're not watching the street. Configure once, use forever.
See body. Fujifilm: My Menu → Custom Settings. Sony: Camera icon → Memory. Canon: Custom Shooting Mode C1–C3.
Set up at least two custom banks today: one for daylight, one for low light. Label them with tape if your camera doesn't display bank names.
