How to oprate nikond80? |
I am a wedding photographer.i got new nikon d80. i want to know what is the best setting.i like to use digital camera with out using computer support. (i mean Not Nessary Adjeset sharpining & brightness) can i do this? Rarely I do have to refer to PC editing when it comes to my photo. Like many other good photographers, we rely on the metering on the camera and perhaps only adjust white balance and we'll get a good result. Of course it would've been better to process the photo afterwards (minor color correction, stuff like that) but it is not required. Find a nice comfortable and quiet place. Now READ & STUDY the Owner's Manual. It was not packed in the box as filler material. Its there for you to use to learn how to operate the camera. The great news is you can use the D80 just the way you have been using your other camera(s) when shooting your wedding events. All your settings will be the same. Just put the SD card in the card reader on your notebook computer and copy the image files to a file folder you have previously set up before the shoot (Before wedding; bride/groom, ceremony, church shots of wedding group, reception; traditional shots, reception; candid's) Be sure you have added your copyright notice in the Nikon's Image Comment section of its menu. Convert all the edited images into thumbnails and burn them on a CD. Your clients can then order the prints from you using the image file numbers but will not be able to make prints from such small sample files. ProPhotog I always shoot on aperture priority. However, that may not be right for your shooting situation. Learn the camera. Read the manual and try things out. That's the only way to fully understand your camera. Well, yes you can. The D80 can be shot just like your 35mm film SLR, but the biggest difference is adjusting white balance. With film, any minor white balance issues are usually handled during the printing process. So, you're going to have to trust the camera to do some of the work...and you have absolutely *nail* the exposure. If I read your question correctly, you want to take photos without doing the post-processing adjustments. This is somewhat risky, but doable if your skills are up to it. 1) shoot jpg. If you want insurance, shoot RAW+jpeg, but have lots of memory cards handy. 2) set your white balance to automatic 3) sharpness to medium-high 4) medium-high or normal contrast 5) moderate saturation. There's a portrait setting too, which you can try, but that gives up too much control to the camera IMHO. However, it will work in a pinch. To make the jpegs work, you have to be absolutely dead-on on the exposures. But if you shoot with RAW+jpeg, you'll have RAW files as insurance...and you'll have to post-process. |
