michael_alger Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 <p>One more vote to forget about an additional book. Read the manual! Then, if you wish to improve your skills, buy a book about photography in general, not one about your camera. Then practice.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis_mccormack Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Ok, so I have played with the camera a bit now. I LOVE IT!! I understand the basics manual mode mostly. Want to learn some of the advance features that I have now that I Shooting digital and with such an incredible machine. Started to read thru the manual and I will finish But I am definitely going to get another book on the d700 Because the manual is kinda confusing and hard to understand Certain things. Plus I'm not the best at reading technical info. I looked At all the options and will definitely take the advice. I'll let you know what I go with for a book and also Start posting some photos to be critiqued. Thanks alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Di Leo Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 <p>A bit OT, but the manual can be had in pdf format and loaded onto an iPhone via iBooks</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travis_mccormack Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Ok so I have been able to shoot a few Photos with the camera. I have been reading through the manual and have a few questions on your opinions. Here I go: oh and the most outta my images With the settings even though I might not know what to do with them....... - I have lightroom and Photoshop, is it still nessacary to download the nikon software? - since I am using adobe should I use adobe rgb? Or srgb? - is active D lighting worth using? I tried it with not much of a result. - is what is in my shooting menu bank what I am currently shooting? - is custom menu bank what I am curently shooting with? Or do I have to set it to one or the other? -does it make a difference shooting with 14 bit raw or 12 bit raw? Ok so that's the questions Ive ran into so far, I know alot of them are probably personal Preference but I guess that's what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance.

h_m5 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 <p>By Nikon Software you mean ViewNX? Are you familiar with ACR or NEF? What do use to deal with your NEF files? </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
