Is Nikon d800 still good in 2020?
The Nikon D800 still is a very impressive camera. Even today the resolution and dynamic range are high-end even compared to newly introduced cameras. That say a lot since the D810 still uses (basically) the same sensor and AF system as the older D800. The camera is built to last and very durable.
What should my photo settings be?
Best camera settings in photography

- ISO: 100-3200 in entry-level cameras, and 100-6400 in more advanced cameras.
What ISO means in photography?
For digital photography, ISO refers to the sensitivity—the signal gain—of the camera’s sensor. The ISO setting is one of three elements used to control exposure; the other two are f/stop and shutter speed. With film cameras, using a higher ISO film, such as ISO 400 to 1000, often resulted in noticeable grain.
What is the difference between ISO aperture and shutter speed?
The ISO affects how much light is needed to produce a correct exposure. The lens aperture is a diaphragm that is in the lens itself or immediately behind it. Shutter speed also can affect the amount of light that comes into the camera by controlling how long the camera shutter remains open.
Where to find shooting menu Bank on Nikon D800?
The slow way. Go to menu -> shooting menu -> shooting menu bank -> select your bank. Then go to custom setting menu -> custom settings bank -> select your bank. I have ‘shooting menu bank’ and ‘custom settings bank’ as the top two items of ‘my menu’.
Why does my Nikon D800 keep changing its settings?
When you switch to a different Menu Bank, the D800 or D800E recalls whatever settings you had when you left that Menu Bank for a different one. This is idiotic, but it’s the way the D800 and D800E work. I only figured this out by having to explain it. This is why my settings were always changing all by themselves.
What to do with live view on Nikon D800?
*3 – Set Picture Control : The live view of the Nikon D800 isn’t great, but I still use it at times to get sharp focus. I zoom in the live view display and manually focus the lens to the best setting. If you change the picture control to the highest sharpening level you actually get a better display.
How many frames can you bracket on a Nikon D800?
