Learnt a valuable lesson today.

Once you have settings that work for you on your camera don't get flustered on a bad shoot and change the lot, you'll never get back to the original 'working' state.

Spend 4 weeks wondering what was up with my images until I looked under the metadata on ViexNX from the last good shoot and realised I had changed everything.

Like I said, a lesson learned.
 
Hi. Just curious, do you always use the same settings? I change mine all the time, depending on what I'm shooting, or where I'm shooting.
 
Dont you store youre settings in the menu, i have 4 different sets of settings for 4 different shooting environments, ie cloudy, white floodlights, orange floodlights and one called shadow shooting, these and about 6 more are also stored on a CF card which i always keep in CF card slot No2 so its always available if and when i need them. easy peasy

Quite. A trip back to the little book thing they send out with cameras required for me. I think they call it a manual?:thinking:

Why buy a £2-3K camera and not let it do all the hard work for you, the only PP i then need to do crop, straighten, resize, USM and caption then its straight off over the BB super Highway to the picture desk :thumbs:
 
+1 on having a CF with stored presets. I'm only using two so far Sports & News, but that'll change next week when the horses start again.

I tend to keep the card out of the camera, just in case.

Yes and when you're in hospital and constipated and us nurses come along with a rubber glove, thats called a manual as well, so make sure you get the right one.:D:lol:
