[QUOTE="jksecunda, post: 208372, member: 17264"] I dont use AUTO on the D40 now. Usually program or shutter setting. The reason is that the camera default setting of exposure is to light. I stop it down .7 or 1 stop. other than that, I don't know much about white balance or the other settings that are on the camera. I took pictures for years with a film camera and exposure was about the only setting you had. Set shutter or f stop. Now there are so many decisions to make I just want something that will work fine when I pick it up. KR wrote about the D200 having perfect exposure on the default setting. I enjoy going out and looking for great pictures. I often stop while driving down the road to get a pic of something that I think will look good. Sometimes that works, most of the time NOT. Take a hundred pics to get a couple good ones. I dont really want to do a lot of setting the camera. I like to D40 for the weight. Great to carry around. Thanks Jeff [/QUOTE]
