These make the Nikon D750 a camera which can be configured in a highly personal way, depending on your shooting style and needs.<\/p>\n<p>Going through the menu, the options might be overwhelming. Many of them can be left to the default. Some settings will clearly user preference. But with some settings, a change in the function of a button or dial can make a big difference in how the camera responds.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u00a0is an overview of\u00a0my preferences for the D750, and the settings that\u00a0I changed\u00a0immediately upon getting the camera out of the box. This isn&#8217;t a thorough listing of every item in all the menus &#8211; that&#8217;s what you have a manual for. Instead, this\u00a0is a quick overview of\u00a0the settings I&#8217;d recommend. All of this of course only touches on the options available with this camera!<\/p>\n<p>An interesting note\u00a0is that there is a\u00a0new addition to the menus. The Shooting Menu has now been split into two: <strong>Photo Shooting Menu<\/strong>, and the <strong>Movie Shooting Menu<\/strong>. This makes sense since\u00a0it&#8217;s become quite prevalent that some photographers would use a DSLR as predominantly a video camera. So that menu needs to be directly accessible.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"banner_ad\"><div class=\"adsbygoogle\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><!-- Tangents-responsive --><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"style=\"display:block\"data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5272216363056127\"data-ad-slot=\"2115071898\"data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); <\/script> <\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>1.
