As there doesn't seem to be a dedicated thread I thought i would start one for anyone that wants to post D3300/3400/5500/5600 photos and discuss related material
I have the Fuji XT20 but still enjoy shooting with the D3300 so please feel free to post ,
Try focussing about a third of the way into the scene at f8 in aperture priority, use ISO 100 with a tripod and let the camera select the shutter speed.I've just bought a D5300 and I'm a complete novice when using a dslr. I'm trying to take landscape photos but the focus is all in the foreground and I would like the whole picture to be sharp. I've been told f18 is the way to go but what about the ISO and shutter speed (is that the option on the left on the display screen). HELP. At the moment I'm taking better photos on my iPhone 7!

A remote cable release will help avoid any movement from pressing the shutter.
Also, if you press the directions on the selection wheel it will move the focus point around the little diagram of the focus area on the shooting settings screen in the bottom left under the shutter speed.Thank you. Could I please ask another question. On my friends camera when you go to take a photo, you press and the camera focuses and then you take the pic fully pressing the button. On my D5300 it doesn't seem to have a focus point. It has a grid and a square in the middle but I think this is just to select the middle of the photo. I can't seem to find the focus point. Sorry for such basic questions.
When I was researching which camera to get, I couldn't find a good reason to go for the D5300 over the D5200.On the D5300 front it's cheapest from HDEW, Black Friday or not ...................
I do tweak my Canon Compact JPEGS as it does not do RAW. I very rarely tweak my D3300 JPEGS as I have so many RAW files to pick from, so if a JPEG is not too good, I usually bin it.My D5300 makes the perfect image in jpeg
Some seem to think they can't be edited because they're already formatted but they respond well to sharpening, curves and levels tweaks in PP if required. Raw is good for landscapes with OTT Old Testament skies.
Yeah ... bring it onNo auto settings in the jpeg setting lust on or off like active dlighting and distortion control
erm ... well, on if you want noise reduction and erm off if you don't.And noise reduction on or off
Yes, his head is a little soft. Otherwise a nice photo.A visitor this morning. Pity he moved his head - the rest of him is reasonably sharp.

Many here have used ExPro in various cameras, no bad reportsThread revival! Any of you D5000 owners bought an aftermarket battery that you can recommend? My recent purchase came with the original battery but I always like to have a backup. Plenty on Ebay and Amazon but don't want an explosive one! :0
