Practise in the Dark
Learn in the Dark
Ok what I meant to say was “Learn to change your camera settings in the dark”
Learning how to get from one setting to another in the dark, using the screen only but not being able to see the buttons, will help you to hit the right setting every time. It takes time to become proficient at getting the settings correct for the shot.

This is no problem if you are taking a landscape or a portrait, but if you are trying to change the settings whilst keeping an eye on a bird or animal as it wanders it’s way past, it become ten times as hard.
This exercise is great preparation for those times when speed is needed to catch that 1 off picture.
