Am a D200 user, recently purchased an SB800 (no manual – just downloaded pdf file from net) and am trying to learn about setting my camera properly using the flash. While browsing the site, I came across the Custom Setting function page – and for the first time some of the fog has been lifted. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Will explore your site more – but I really am grateful for the side trip I took.

Greg, the best advice I can give you here is to shoot in RAW, and then adjust your image in one of the RAW conversion programs. That gives you the most flexibility in editing the image for correct (or pleasant) WB.

And is you help me too, would be really nice too, i’m still not really good on taking pictures at low light or at night, they almost always look somewhat yellowish or out of focus.

Thanks much Neil! I have been using my D200 for almost a year now, but was still able to glean a few pointers from your tips to help me out. Your time spent in listing out these functions is much appreciated.

Amy .. thank you. I obviously didn’t check properly.
I’ll amend the text to show the correction you pointed out.
thanks!

Neil.

Thanks for this Neil.

One point I thought I should clarify is that on my D200 with firmware 2.00, custom function f7 allows you to take several photos without a CF card inserted. It does not allow you to continue shooting when the inserted card is full however, so you never risk missing a shot in the way you describe.

Had images taken with no card inserted been copied from the buffer to a newly inserted card, then this would have allowed you to swap cards without interrupting a shoot. Technically there’s no reason why it couldn’t have been done.

I’m STILL hoping Nikon release a new firmware version that adds a new custom function to allow the user to disable Auto ISO mode when shooting in manual. Auto ISO could have been extremely useful to me, but this oversight is as good as a bug. Has this been fixed on the D300?

I recently purchased the Nikon D-300. I previously had the D-200. However, I’m having some trouble with the D-300. Do you have any recommendations for this camera. I’m trying to get clean, crisp prints of grandchildren.

Your comments will be appreciated.
