Some of my favorite secrets, which I cover in detail throughout these pages, are: Calling up the INFO display with the power switch How to get to the Picture Controls and menus with one hand How to set everything with one hand Getting wild colors.
Auto ISOInstant high magnification zooming with the center thumb button. Inserting your © and contact info automatically into every file. Using the dials to scroll among images.
Getting useful histograms. How to Use Manual Focus Lensesand. How never to shoot without a CF card.
Camera Settings top. I leave most. settings at their defaults. Here's what I change every time I shoot. FORMATAlways format your card after you put it in any camera, or if you've connected your camera to a computer. Formatting your card(s) ensures any folder or file corruption acquired anywhere goes away. You can shoot without doing this, however constant formatting is good practice and should eliminate ever having any card errors. Be sure you've downloaded and backed up all the files in at least two different physical locations before formatting.
Reset. I reset everything every time I use my camera, much as a pilot uses a checklist before flight to prevent any switches from being in the wrong position. When I don't check first, I often have left my D7.
K WB and ISO 3,2. Nikon has an easy reset feature. I use it every time! My standard operating setting is only a couple of clicks different than the defaults. Find the two green dots on the •QUAL and +/- • buttons on the left and right of the top of the camera. Hold them both down for a few seconds. The top LCD blinks and everything is back to normal.
I do this every time I use my D7. If I forget, I may have the resolution or White Balance or ISO or God knows what set to something screwy and spoil all my shots. I'll see WB problems on the LCD, but I won't notice if I left my D7. ISO 6,4. 00 or SMALL image size from the night before unless I look very carefully. That's why I always use reset and set from there. Reset leaves the detailed menu tweaks alone and is smart enough to reset only the big dumb things I might have moved overnight.
QUALity. I use Large, JPG, BASIC, Optimal Quality Mode. Reset brings you to NORMAL JPG. Once I've reset, I immediately change to my preferred QUAL setting: BASIC. Do this by pressing the QUAL button on the top left and spinning the rear dial one click to the right. This shows as L and BASIC on the top LCD.
L stands for Large image size (4,2. BASIC JPG compression. For most people and family pictures, 1. MP is too much. 6. MP is enough even for great 1. I usually shoot at M image size (3,1.
To change the pixel dimensions (image size), hold the QUAL button and move the front dial one click to the right. You'll see the L change to an M on the top LCD. I prefer warmer (oranger) images, so I hold the WB button and click the front dial (just in front of the shutter) a couple of clicks to the left to A2 or A3. These are the only things I change from the reset mode.
Everything else I tweak below is unchanged by reset. I. use a hidden menu option to set the JPG compression mode to Optimal Quality instead of the default of Size Priority. Do this at MENU > SHOOTING (green camera icon) > JPEG Compression > Optimal Quality. Once set, it stays this way even when the camera is green- dot reset. This mode gives smaller files than NORMAL and better quality than BASIC.
See details here. ISO (pronounced Eye- Ess- Oh, not "eyeso.") I. I set Auto ISO to chose ISOs for me automatically. Auto ISO selects ISOs exactly the same way I would, except that now I don't have to. Auto ISO increases the ISO automatically as it gets dark so I don't have to.
It shoots at ISO 2. Only if it gets still darker will it let the shutter speed go below a preset speed. We'll set this slowest speed and maximum ISO to fit our tastes later in the Shooting Menu. White Balance (WB) I. AUTO and a clear UV filter to protect my lens. I prefer warmer images, so I set it towards Amber by pressing the WB button and spinning the front dial to taste.
A6 is a lot of amber, 0 is neutral, and if you want cooler, B6 is much bluer. I usually run A3, but I'll use A6 in shade. It's not magic; just look at your picture on the LCD and adjust to taste. See examples of different settings here and details on my White. Balance page. White balance is how you set the color balance, and color is critical. Picture Controls. This is how you get your choice of wild colors or creamy skin tones.

Autofocus. I have an entire page on How to Set the Nikon D7. Autofocus Controls. Metering. I have used Matrix for everything since I got my first Nikon FA back in 1. You set this on the rotary switch just to the right of the viewfinder window. Matrix is the middle position that looks like a rectangle with a dot in the middle.

It's the best. Older lenses may have an "A - M" switch. Leave those at "A." To get manual focus you must move the switch on the lens, and/or the switch on the camera. It's not automatic. Different lenses require different settings on the camera and lens to get manual. Some, like the old 3. AF, required moving both the camera and lens switches!
