Modern cameras are rather intricate machines with a bevy of features and settings, and as such, it is worth getting to know your camera well so you are not unpleasantly surprised by a setting that derails your ability to get the shot you want. This helpful video tutorial discusses seven fundamental settings you should consider changing to ensure you have the best chances of getting the photos you want.
Coming to you from Julia Trotti, this great video tutorial discusses seven camera settings you should consider changing. One that I am a big fan of is the monochrome picture profile. If you are using a mirrorless camera, this will allow you to see a black and white image through the viewfinder (if you are using a DSLR, it will show on the rear screen). The reason I like this is because by removing all color, it is far easier to see the way light is falling across the scene or on your subject's face. And don't worry, as long as you are shooting in raw, you will still have the full color image available when you import the photos to your computer. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Trotti.
What you have here are some settings you might want to change depending on how you shoot and how you edit and what kind of camera you have. I guess that doesn't lend itself to the clickbait headline, tho.
Yes to all but only if it applies to your genre! BUT a story I read in a book about one of my cameras - A National Geographic photographer sending jpegs to HQ wanted his RAWS he sent later to be edited to look like his jpegs because it is what he saw on the back of the camera at the time of capture. An impossible thing to do due to. There are settings that only affect Jpegs and what you see on the on the camera screen. D-Range on Sony cameras can be set to auto or the selected setting just this one item can change how shadows are brightened to show detail and this one many settings that in Post no slider can adjust to. You can shoot RAW and Jpeg and both will look alike but different when the RAW is saved as a TIF or even a Jpeg. The point is you can learn all the settings in the camera where it edits in camera and it is the artist so to speak like today's AI's with many years of formulas embedded or you become the artist with sliders in the many post processing programs either will be great whichever you pick.
