[QUOTE="Jules, post: 339003, member: 27395"] This is a good checklist, from Mike Hagen, I have printed it off and have it in several palces about me when I go out with the D610, I'm incredibly forgetful! [URL]http://visadventures.com/downloads/D610_Setup_Guide.pdf[/URL] For other Models: [URL]https://visadventures.com/shop/category/camera-setup-guides/[/URL] I know you were using spot metering but you'd get better consistancy in most normal situations from Matrix, with a caveat, you'll have to tweak it a little first. This has helped me tremendously with Matrix metering on the D610: Look up custom setting b5: b5: Fine-tune Optimal Exposure (P. 226 in the manual) I've set matrix metering to -2/6 stop all the time, and my exposures are almost always spot-on! I have also turned off the blinkies on the review screen as they are totally inaccurate, they pretty much just blink all the time, they are a bad judge! YMMV:indecisiveness: Just a suggestion but please remember that you did it, just in case, hence making my own version of Mike Hagens checklist ...:cool: [/QUOTE]
