RE: Tribute To My Fujifilm Finepix S9900W - My favourite photo's so far - Part 2 (And So It Began...) ENGLAND, UK - #ladiesofsteemit

Welcome to the world of Nikon, that sounds like a good days shopping! Look forward to seeing the results :)

No, can't make that one. It's my partners birthday so I'll be spoiling her :)

Sort:  

Ah that's a shame, I was hoping you could show me how to use it at the event lol xD

lol, would have been happy too. If you do need help getting used to the Nikon I'm more than happy to share what I know and learned over the last couple of years :)

thank you :) I have just downloaded an ebook - D5300 for dummies! xD hahaha

A good place to start Lol! I was lucky a good friend uses Nikon and went through getting it set up ready.

The basic setup I use:

1x Memory Slot for RAW
1x Memory Slot for JPG

White balance I set to cloudy (I use Auto for indoor stuff)

Image size Large
Image Area DX

JPEG Compersion - Optimal

Colour Space - sRGB
Set Picture Control - VIVID

Active D Lighting - OFF

Image Stabilization is set on the Lens

AF set on the Lens and the Camera

Depending on what editing software you have and how old it is the RAW files used by Nikon NEF may not open, you can convert to DNG files( Search for DNG Converter) or you need a more up to date editor I use Lightroom

Good luck and happy snapping :)

Wow! some great set up tips there, thank you! :)

Your welcome :)
