[QUOTE="aroy, post: 325508, member: 16090"] In the mode dial, next to the "P" mode with a camera icon, there is a "Flash" ikon. That is for program mode with no flash. Any way, try to shoot without program mode at ISO 100/200. I mostly shoot in Aperture Priority mode "A" at ISO 100 or 200. The camera adjusts the shutter speed, and I change the aperture with the (only) wheel. At times when I feel that the shutter speed is too low, I pop the flash up. Also - Shoot in RAW, with all the other extra features switched off - noise, lense correction etc. This will speed up the camera, and you can always apply the functions in post processing. - If you have not, download the Nikon Capture NX-D beta and start using it. You will be surprised how much the RAW file contains, especially in those dark areas. - Do not buy a high capacity SD card. 8GB is the optimum size. With larger card you may face camera slow down as it tries to write, and while down loading acessing the camera will also take longer with over a 1000 files that can populate a high capacity card. - Do not use any software to copy files to your computer. Just connect the camera with the USB cable supplied and use the OS to copy files. Make sure to maintain a copy on another disk, as many software will over write the original file while you modify the RAW file. NX-D does not. [/QUOTE]
