[QUOTE="aroy, post: 542374, member: 16090"] Welcome to the forum. There is no harm in taking images at the maximum resolution. Storage both SD card and computer disk is cheap. A high resolution image can always be converted to a lower resolution one, but a lower resolution image can never be converted to a higher resolution one. Now that you have started taking images, why not take them in RAW. If you have a decent computer, download the free Nikon Capture NX-D from their site. There are many advantages of taking RAW, the only disadvantage is the file size and the fact that you have to "process" the images. The advantages are many. For starters you have a wider dynamic range, so recovering shadows and highlights is much easier from RAW. Then there is no need for setting the camera for . White Balance . Lens Correction . Noise Reduction . Sharpness Settings All these can be applied while processing the RAW image. Not using these settings also speeds up the camera processing, so you can shoot faster in bursts.
