No.



No such thing as "best settings" for every occasion and every lens-camera combination.

YOUR best settings:
1 - read your camera manual
2 - try out some stuff on the ground
3 - try out some stuff in the air
4 - see what settings work for YOU in various lighting conditions and with your helmet setup and with your editing setup.

What settings do you change on a cloudy day vs a sunny day?

My settings are pretty much manual focus and wide angle on. I don't change anything based on lighting conditions or lens choice.

Cloudy day: auto WB.
Shooting swoopers/canopy controll: W/A off.

What settings do you change on a cloudy day vs a sunny day?

I am constantly changing the Auto Exposure Compensation on my HC-5 or A1U throughout the day and depending on sky conditions (I put it on the first page of my custom menus, along with spot focus, and auto/manual focus).

On a sunny summer day at noon, or (even worse) almost anytime underneath an overcast or very hazy sky, I often have to boost the AES by up to 3-4 points to get a decently exposed face when looking up at a tandem pair. Particularly on dark skinned jumpers. On RW (looking down), early/late in the day, or when there are clouds underneath the tandem, I don't need any compensation. In between these conditions it varies.
