Can you all post your hints and tips on setting up the 7D as we all find out more about the camera, and keep the thread confined to just that please?
I'll start it off - not that I have much to impart at this stage...
As with the 50D, you need to disable Auto Lighting Optimiser and Highlight Tone Priority if you shoot RAW. They can be useful for jpeg shooting but cause increased noise with RAW images.
Trying to use the built in levelling device while holding the camera out in front of you and trying to balance two separate axis is an exercise in madness, but on a tripod, (where I'm sure it's intended to be used) it's a very quick method of levelling the camera accurately.
