[QUOTE="aroy, post: 485060, member: 16090"] I think that you are trying various adjustments to find which will work for you. I have D3300 and both the lenses you have. Here is what you can try . "A" - aperture priority . ISO - 100 . Aperture - F4 to F8. Avoid using higher F stops . Metering - Matrix . AF - AFS, that will give a confirmation "Beep" when it is in focus . Select the Centre for AF, that is most sensitive . File - RAW You can ignore the other settings as they can be applied in Capture NX-D when you process RAW files. Just be aware of a few things . Regions marginally out of focus will be soft and not tack sharp, any motion blur and camera shake will also result in soft images. . At F1.8, the DOF is very narrow, so use it only for portraits, for architecture F8 is optimal. . RAW files are 12 bit, JPG 8 bits, so latitude for recovery of shadows and exposure compensation is much more in RAW. Use jpeg only when you need the space and delivery speed. . The 18-55 is a reasonably sharp lens at F8. . 18-55 at 55mm can get you real close and gives a magnification of 0.3+. Use that setting for close ups. . Inbuilt flash has a guide number of 12, which means at F8 you have only 1.5m of usable range. . External flash usually have a usable range of 10m or more (depends on the focal length, the longer it is the more range in advanced flash as the beam narrows). . For indoor shots use external flash with head pointed up. Use matrix metering and if needed Exposure Compensation of +1. . Spot metering gets the exposure right only around the spot. Any region brighter will be over exposed and darker under exposed. . The usable ISO for D3200 and D3300 is 400, if you want medium shadows clean. I hope this can help you. [/QUOTE]
