[QUOTE="hark, post: 560068, member: 13196"] I never had any of the D3x00 series bodies so I'm not familiar with what options you can set. Some of the setting changes I make are: [LIST] [*]raise the sharpening to 6 [*][URL="http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/microsite/picturecontrol/picture/"]picture control preference[/URL] (standard, neutral, vivid--and supposedly the newer models offer [I][B]flat[/B][/I]) [*]AF-A AF-C or AF-S [*]turn off the focus assist light [*]turn off the focus assist beep [*]set ISO (I don't use Auto-ISO much) [*]choose how to set SD card slot (now I use RAW+jpeg fine, large size, and the largest uncompressed RAW setting offered) [*]single or multi point focusing (since I don't do birding or sports, I use single point) [*]date complete with daylight savings time on or off [*]set copyright info so it shows up automatically in the files [*]Active-D Lighting on or off (used to turn it 'on' when taking jpeg drama photos but after switching to RAW, now I keep it off as reports indicate it will affect the RAW files when it is on) [/LIST] And even if I were to shoot RAW+RAW (no jpeg), I'd still choose the sharpening and picture control settings. One time while shooting drama photos (it was so dark in the balcony I couldn't see anything), I went to change my ISO. The ISO button was in a different location on the back of the camera than it was on the previous Nikon I'd used, and in the dark I accidentally changed the wrong setting. Turns out I switched my RAW+jpeg Large to Jpeg Basic in both slots. :beguiled: So even if I were to only shoot RAW in both slots, I won't take a chance. You never know if you will inadvertently change something and not realize it in time. ;) Have fun with your camera! :encouragement: [/QUOTE]
