If I want to trigger another flash (SB-26 in slave mode) I set the flash output to - 3.0 EV so it is hardly visible in the shot. The Fn button brings me to the quality settings to quickly change from Raw to Large Fine Jpg when I want/need. The camera uses up to ISO 800 if needed when my shutter speed is below 1/15 sec. I am using Auto ISO set to automatically. I keep AF Assist On as it helps me focussing in dark areas. Release is locked when no memory card is inserted.
Metering I use everything it's got, so full 3D metering which is the default setting. the click already makes enough noise there, plus the AF field lights red when focussed).įocus mode set to Auto (AF-A), automatically switches to Continue when the subject is moving.įocus area is set to single field (the middle one) almost all the time.
if I want noise reduction I use a PC and a large screen to see what I'm doing.īeep turned Off (beeping in churches and other places is stupid. Only when it visibly fails (mind that I'm colorblind) I override, otherwise I correct on the computer. I leave most settings to Auto as Nikon carries a database with sample scene to which it compares each shot.
Saturation set to Normal (not Auto as this tends to over-saturate) 126 x 94 x 64 mm (5.0 x 3.7 x 2.5 in.- Color mode set to sRGB - for printing and viewing 'as is'
The D60 also features a manual flipping built-in flash with GN 12/39 (meters/feet) at ISO 100 with 1/200 second maximum x-sync speed and a combination of automatic red-eye reduction, slow synchronization, and rear curtain. It also includes a kit lens with optical image stabilization for the same kit price as the D40.
The camera’s electronic rangefinder can be used to manually adjust the focus with any other lenses.Ĭompared to the previous D40, the D60 includes stop-motion movie creation, Nikon EI-137 processor, a self-cleaning sensor unit, and an air-flow control system that reduces the amount of dust that reaches the camera’s sensor. Fully automatic autofocus requires the use of a lens with an integrated autofocus motor. Like some other entry-level Nikon digital single-lens reflect cameras, the D60 does not include an in-body autofocus motor. The D60 features Nikon’s EXPEED image processor that was introduced in the higher-end Nikon D3 and D300. The D60 is the successor to the entry-level Nikon D40x. The Nikon D60 is a 10.2-megapixel Nikon F-mount digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera released in January 2008.
