Overview

I’ve used the Nikon D3500 as a generic example. Most of the commands should apply to other models even if the menus don’t look the same.

Most of the controls are found in the Shooting Menu.


Follow the instructions below to customize your own settings.

1.set your Color SPACE to Adobe RGB


2.set image quality to RAW ONly


3.Turn off Auto-ISO


4.Turn ON Auto-WB (White Balance)


5.Set Picture Control to Neutral


6.Make sure that your viewfinder is in focus by adjusting the diopter


7.Set up Back-Button Focus

Setting up back-button focus can be radically different between different models, so I recommend that you google with the exact model that you have, eg: “ set up back button focus Nikon D850”.

Below is an example for the D3500. I apologize for the robotic voice-over, but it was the clearest, shortest video I could find for this camera. Thankfully it’s short!


8. Set metering mode to Center-Weighted
