[QUOTE="hark, post: 738556, member: 13196"] Jpeg Fine vs. Normal vs. Basic is a difference of compression. Fine has the least amount of compression. Normal has some compression which can bring in a little artifacting but lowering the overall file size. Basic has the most amount of compression so an even smaller file size with more artifacting. The 'L' button is to lock the focus dot inside the viewfinder. When it is locked, you won't be able to move the dot with the up/down/right/left arrow keys. Ask me how I know about both of these! ;) When I shot high school drama photos, I stood in a darkened balcony (NO light up there except from what came from the stage). One time I changed my ISO and scrolled the rear wheel. The problem was the ISO button on the D610 was in a different place than the ISO button on the D7100. Inadvertently instead of changing my ISO, I switched from RAW+Jpeg Fine to Jpeg Basic. :sorrow: However, at the time I didn't know what happened other than I knew my ISO didn't change. When I got home, I realized my mistake. The stage lights were made up of a variety of colors plus the spot light. The overall color of my images was brown - something like tungsten. Fortunately Nikonites has some Knights riding White Stallions. One of them by the name of Jake gave me info on how to adjust my color balance. :encouragement: And other times I have inadvertently locked the viewfinder button. There's nothing quite like needing to change your focus point then realizing it won't move because it is locked. I've lost a few shots from doing that. :beguiled: [/QUOTE]
