I have set up dozens of new and used cameras and have forgotten to change settings and features that have ruined my photos and/or shooting and editing experience. A few are just camera settings I choose to idiot-proof my camera in the future.
I'm hoping to spare you all the pain of my mistake by sharing the camera settings I change on every camera I take photos with, including:

- The right memory card
- The right file format
- My preferred drive mode

Don't forget to share how you set up your camera in the comments.
Also, I listed 9 things I change but ALWAYS is a strong word so I just put 5 in the title. That way people can argue about which ones should ALWAYS be changed and which ones are a preference. It's going to give everyone something to talk about.

I also just realized Tony made this SAME VIDEO but listed 10 settings. We even chose almost identical titles. We both hate beeping. We should get married. But, had I known about this sooner I would have done 11 settings to one-up him.
