|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board D300/D300s settings Matthew Bush, Photographer Hattiesburg | MS | USA | Posted: 11:38 PM on 04.05.10 ->> Curious as to how everyone has their cameras set. Especially newspaper shooters in the area of noise reduction and d-lighting. Thanks Matt Bush  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Neat Image (or Noise Ninja or similar programs) does a much better job. Long exposure is different and useful. I usually use Active D-Lighting in high-contrast situations, although it is not very effective in bright sunlight. Some Active D-Lighting comparisons: http://sportsphotoguy.com/active-d-lighting-on-the-nikon-d300/ On the D300s, I really like the "Auto" setting for ADL; on the D300 I generally use Normal. Also love the Auto ISO feature: http://sportsphotoguy.com/secret-d300-high-speed-auto-iso-trick/  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

But it does free one up to use aperture-priority mode and set a useful 'floor' shutter speed, yes.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
