Chapter 2: The Nikon D3200 Essentials
The settings you choose when capturing your images can be the difference between a great image and a disappointing one. Exposure and release modes, the Picture Control System, focus modes and areas, flash control, white balance, ISO, and file types—all of these settings have an impact on how your image is captured. This chapter outlines these and other important settings. Understanding what each setting does allows you to successfully capture any scene the way that you want. These controls can be quite technical and a little intimidating at times, but when you know what is happening in the camera when you change a setting, it not only gives you more control, but also opens up the creative side of photography.
Understanding the settings in this chapter will help you capture any scene the way that you want.
