Hi Jason
I saved these as JPGs in CS4 so I think the EXIF should be embedded. For macro work, I usually shoot as follows with the 40D and 100mm F2.8 (non-L):
Shutter: 1/250 sec
Aperture: F11
ISO: 100
Focus: AI Servo (basically follow focus)
Focus point: centre only
Flash exposure compensation: varies between -1/3 and -2/3 stop.
These are set against a “Custom Setting” so I can just switch to C3 and the system is ready to go.
I always use auto focus because I use reading glasses for reading close up stuff, and my eyes struggle with manual focusing. Auto focus scores heaps more keepers than my attempts at manual focus, unless I can use a tripod and Live View!
Cheers
Dennis
