[QUOTE="MrsRobs, post: 752058, member: 49089"] HI, Im a new member from Marbella, Spain. We got the Nikon D300 from my mother in law about 7yrs ago. It was used a few times and then left in the top of a cupboard after a house move for years .. With lockdown, I really got into hiking and was always disapointed with the quality of pics on my phone, and I remembered the camera! It was all sad and unloved, the battery dead, the buttons locked up, so with a bit of TLC, I got it back working again like new. I was very proud of myself to get it working again. I resolved a few issues using this forum. The locked up buttons issue saved me a few hundred euros as I thought the display screen was broken. Im now learning about the camera. It was setup correctly for me when we first got it, but trying to make it work, I pushed lots of buttons, so it got all mixed up. Im happy with the pics Im getting now, only the exposure part is still a mystery to me. All my scenery shots are underlit. Im fiddling about with it for now, might start a thread if I really cant figure out whats gone wrong. If anyone knows of a thread or page showing the best settings instructions I can follow? Settings for an amature , taking scenery shots and pics of my kids, would be a great help! Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
