I don\'t have time to explain the basics but can just share modes:
Outdoor. Av w/exp. comp, M with non moving subjects or controllable portraits, AWB, Single shot focus and recompose back button. On cam flash ETTL - 2/3rds for fills.
Indoor. M with ETTL/M On -board flash. Custom. K and AWB. If using available light: Av/M High ISO\'s w/exp. comp. OCF via Radio triggers. Small venues 1-2 speedlights; big - AB1600 AC Power. Direct or ceiling bounce depends on the effect.
Indoor formals: AB1600 bounce, or large umbrella close to camera axle to avoid cross shadow. Max ISO is 400. F stops from f/4 - 5.6 - 8 (Otherwise I shoot wide open (most glass is 2.8))
Processional i switch to AI Servo otherwise single shot/multi frame 5dII is not fast on FPS anyways. For some fast/sport FPS I prefer 7d.
Hope it helps.
