I list Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski’s blogs as essential reading – both are great photographers and experts on Adobe software. Recently they’ve started a weekly show for Nikon digital SLR users called D-town TV. Now in to its eleventh episode, this week they look at the essential settings you should change when you first take a Nikon digital SLR out of the box. There’s some really useful tips:
- Not letting the shutter fire if there’s no memory card – this hasn’t happened to me yet but you hear of the horror stories!
- Using the rear scroll wheel to move through the pictures you’ve taken (instead of using the multiselector).
- Instant zoom in on an image using the centre button on the multiselector
- Customising menus for frequently changed settings.
Rather than go through exactly how to do each of these watch the episode – you can find it at Nikon D Town TV.
