[QUOTE="dramtastic, post: 207745, member: 16805"] Use aperture priority. Shoot raw. Set AF-C to release. Set to single focus point. Use AF continuous-AF-C. Dial in the focus to your eyesight with dial next to the viewfinder. Set to ISO Auto. I have the in camera sharpening set to 6 but that's not a deal breaker. Buy the best lens/lenses that you can afford to go with it. Without the later you will never properly exploit the resolving power of that camera body. Oh, and if you want to get into shooting birds in flight or other fast moving objects set your D7K to AF-ON with AE/AF to lock and use back button focus. I couldn't recommend this technique highly enough for this type of photography. The 4 main functions I usually spend any time mucking around with while shooting are aperture, min shutter speed, ISO and exposure compensation. Mostly it's aperture and min shutter speed. Lighting conditions are your best friend. Lastly, ignore all the above except the part about the lenses and lighting conditions and play around with your D7K till your hearts content as you will probably shoot differently to me anyway. :D [/QUOTE]
