I sometimes find myself spending too long to set up my camera for a shot. This can lead to missed opportunities. A great setup for getting going quickly is to simply go with 8 6 4!
ISO 800, exposure time 1/60th, Aperture f/4
This should get you up and running with useable pictures. From there you can adjust as necessary. Thanks to AliB at Talk Photography forum for this great piece of advice (www.alisonbaileyphotography.co.uk)
I tried this again recently when I was asked to take a few pictures at someone's registry wedding. I was in a tight spot playing catchup and with no time to chimp (take test shots and adjust). I stuck in the 8-6-4 settings and got usable shots immediately. I then adjusted flash exposure compensation to allow me to expose to the right a little more.
