[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 401219, member: 16"] A happy ending! :) OK, just to add to your knowledge base here, Mellie...the brand of SD card sometimes has an effect on how your pictures turn out. I constantly tell those that use SD cards to get the Class 10 Lexar or Sandisk cards....not those cheap Class 4 cards at Wal Mart or whatever. Unless you're proficient in using Photo Shop or any other software that processes NEF (raw) format, do yourself a favour and set your camera setting to jpeg Fine. You can always graduate to raw later on as you get more familiar with settings and buttons and all that jazz! :) Take it one step at a time, there's no rush. Learn the ins and outs of your camera first.....then jump into shooting raw if you really want to. Unless you're selling your work, there's really no reason to use raw. Just use jpeg and you'll be fine. :) [/QUOTE]
