D2XMODE1:
For me, the downloadable Picture Controls are a much better standard
choice than
Standard
. This is the old Nikon color many of us liked, though
the reds still have a bit too much yellow-orange to them to be called
neutral. For people use
D2XMODE1
, for landscapes use
D2XMODE3
, and
for neutral color use
D2XMODE2
as your starting point.
For a totally novice D300 user, it’s probably okay to select
from the Nikon defined settings, though you’ll want to make a
few minor changes, I think:
