Hi Maurice, nice to have another Aussie join the group. I think Eric is spot on, set the camera up for the effect you want i.e. with bird, quite a fast shutter speed and small enough aperture to give you a bit of depth of field to play with. Adjust the ISO to suite and keep checking the histogram for exposure (I often get taken in the moment of shooting and forget this last bit - only to find the camera is in bracket mode or something similar). Good thing about the newer cameras is the higher ISO values are good enough quality to push it much further than was possible a few years ago. For even more latitude shoot in Raw and use Lightroom or Photoshop to fix exposure errors (within reason), having said this if you are confident in getting it right there is no reason not to use Jpg these day.
