froknowsphoto.com It is really exciting when you get a new camera whether it is a new Nikon D3100 or D7000 or Canon T2i or 60D. But as soon as you take it out of the box what are the 7 things I suggest you set first in the menu? 1. Set the Camera to RAW and never take it out (or RAW + JPEG if you are new to RAW) 2. Set the card Lock - make sure that the camera will not fire without a memory card in it. 3. Set your date and time - make sure you do not let it write the date and time on the picture. 4. Set your White Balance to Auto - You are shooting RAW and will tweak it if needed later. 5. Turn off AUTO ISO if it is on - You will make better selections than the camera 6. Picture Review Off - This will keep you from looking at every single picture you take 7. Image Rotation On - This will orient the vertical shots properly when you bring the files into LightRoom There are a lot more settings in the camera I could talk about but I find these 7 will help you get off to a great start.
