It is very important to recommend NEF(RAW) release, all of which are set to "zero", "none" and "standard". You must get used to playing SLR like this.

JPG is straight out, and NEF+JPEG is recommended. The advantage of this is that you can get back some details with NEF when the direct production is not ideal, which is conducive to later revision. If you can't NX2, then JPEG. Nikon users must learn this software.

Shooting menu: It is recommended to use aperture priority mode A, and use manual mode (M mode) in special circumstances, such as high contrast or dark environment, night scene, fireworks, etc.

Color mode: always sRGB, adobe RGB, etc. I guess you won't use it until you understand it, because the current monitor doesn't support it.

Dynamic D-Lighting: automatic, play if you want, and see the effect! But now I find that turning on this function will affect the picture quality, and some menus are grayed out and cannot be set. You can set them according to the situation and get them in the software later.

Shutter mode: Single sheet mode is recommended. I seldom use continuous shooting, because the first one is misplaced and continuous shooting is useless. But in the case of high-speed movement, continuous shooting can be used. Use automatic delay or remote control under special circumstances, such as taking a group photo with a tripod.

White balance: Let's use automatic, which is good in most cases. It is suggested that sunshine +3, incandescent lamp-1 and fluorescent lamp-1, if indoors, be cloudy.

If automatic white balance mode is used: it is recommended to set it to B3, M 1. Since then, you have got rid of the embarrassment of inaccurate white balance, and almost no later stage is needed.

ISO: enable automatic ISO. Many friends don't quite understand this. In fact, when the weather is fine, the default value of the camera is 200. Of course, it is best to manually adjust the ISO when shooting tripods at night.

Focus mode: AF-A is used in most cases, and AF-C is recommended when shooting children. Recently found that AF-C is invincible, much better than AF-S, recommended. Manual focusing is used in special situations, such as macro, fireworks and other special environments.

AF area mode: 3D,

Focus Cycle Mode: On

Metering mode: matrix metering for landscape, central key metering for portrait and spot metering for macro. In the environment of inaccurate metering, the shooting mode is changed to manual mode. By the way, it is best to prepare a medium gray gradient filter for landscape shooting, and at least prepare a polarizer for the poor, and you will get unexpected results.

Exposure compensation: the principle is 0, outdoor portraits are often -0.3 ~ 0, landscapes are often -0.3 ~- 1.0, and snow scenes are often +0.7. Remember the principle of white plus black minus.

Optimized image: landscape/bright mode sharpness 6, saturation -2, contrast-1. Portrait sharpness is 3~4, saturation is -2, and contrast is-1. After modification, it perfectly surpasses the Fuji curve, and it can never be used again in the later period. Recommend it!

AE-L/AF-L lock key: All keys are held by the exposure lock. Press AE once to lock the exposure (not lock the focus), and then release AE key to focus the composition. But I later found it more useful to use focus lock, which can be used once and then re-composed.

Noise reduction: all on, save trouble. If you want to keep the details, you'd better close them.

High ISO noise reduction: standard. That's what I did. If you can turn off NEF film, the details will be better!

Operation process: (1). According to the theme (portrait? Scenery? ), select the optimal image, (2), modify the white balance and ISO(3 according to the ambient light conditions, (3), select the shooting mode (A/M); (4).a mode selects the aperture and carries out exposure compensation; (5) Select the aperture and shutter to shoot. M mode. (Other people's experiences)

As for cable release and remote control, you can't live without them. Different functions have different effects. Using tripod and cable will make a shocking film, provided that you don't have to be afraid of weight and have enough patience and perseverance!
