Great camera. It will focus at f8. It is useful with a 1.4x on my 100-400 which is impressive.
The first thing I do when I get a new canon is to turn it to raw. Then turn histogram and exposure blinkies on.
On the 5diii, set it up so that the pictures go to one card. Choose the cf one and get a good card. Then you will be able to do a burst of 25 or so.
Next I would set up c1,c2, c3. It will help you learn and when a shot suddenly appears you are ready and then back off to manual or otherwise. My settings are:
c1 - tripod landscape, f11, average exposure, single focus, auto bracket x3, mirror lockup, aperture mode
c2 - handheld landscape, f8, average exposure, single focus, auto bracket x3, aperture mode
c3 - wildlife, aiservo, wide open, auto iso, dot centre focus and dot centre exposure, aperture mode
Obviously, you have a different style
I set my auto-iso setting to let the iso rise 1 stop above default and the 1/shutter limited to about 1/150.
Maybe this helps.
