    trouble with Z9 settings

    Unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with Mac OS to guide you - maybe another user could help get you going I believe you can trust the camera for certain. I'm trying to think of the easiest way and NX Studio seems best - on windows you simply use the left hand file browser to guide the...

    trouble with Z9 settings

    In addition - raising the exposure 1 full stop on your sample posted makes it look much better Maybe your current software is not adding the exposure comp?

    trouble with Z9 settings

    Welcome! In addition to Needa's points - have you taken a look at the files in Nikon's NX Studio? Even with a RAW file the display when viewing the file will show the "camera" view. Does this look better (same as you see in camera review)? Note: NX Studio is available free from your local...

    Welcome Max! - Great to have you - As others have indicated, tell us a little more. As far as post processing, there are lots of free options geared toward a retro style (low automation do your own thing type) do you save your work as jpg or RAW (does not matter but suggestions can change)...

    Nikon D5300

    Welcome! I'm with the others, use what you have a while, and then see what you may be lacking. See if you like editing or not, that can be quite the learning curve, (very good free software to try to see if you like editing) the dark room is now digital too. Finally congratulations on...

    Where do you draw the line with editing?

    I simply look at the Nikon RAW file with NX Studio your camera settings (even if you changed any) are embedded in the RAW data the viewed file is what your camera would have generated. I've recently found a great program for looking at RAW files called Xnview MP it has a browser and can also...
