Is it possible to do this ?

OK I work with two basic EV compensation modes when shooting birds.

I need to have +1.7EV for shooting flying birds so I get good detail in the underwing areas.   This is essentially against the light shooting.

I need to have -0.3EV for shooting birds in/on bushes.  This is a normal shooting compensation that I would use

Yes I could work with two cameras set differently but then I need to duplicate the lenses used..

I guess what I really want is a custom button that switches between the two EV values.

I know there is a bracketing option but I dont want this, I want a button I press that toggles between the two values.



1. Does anyone know a camera that offers this option ?
2. Is it possible on a Nikon ?
3. Other solutions other than to change the EV manually which is just a complete PITA.


Mental block....can't you use custom settings on Nikon for this?

OR

Shoot raw at +0.7 for everything and batch adjust up or down 1stop using a CS action.
