Some D600 Neutral Settings (Good skin tones) (revised November 2012)

1. Set your LCD brightness to-1,( find it in Setup Menu. )

0 is too bright and not close to what we actually see.

2. Set your white balance to A. (automatic) .OR

With the SB-800 using white balance of "flash" is very DEAD ON.

3. In Shooting Menu go to set picture control and make these following

settings:

Go to NEUTRAL

1. Sharpening to 6

2. Contrast to +1 or 0. Depends upon subjects and lighting

3. Brightness to 0

4. Saturation to 0

5. Hue to 0

Don't forget to click OK after you make the adjustments and before you

exit the menu.

4. Page 226 in manual. Set b5 , matrix metering to – 1/6 and also center weighted metering to - 1/6 . This has really helped A LOT with not blowing whites and with almost perfect JPEGs. Fine tuning the optimal exposure has helped incredibly to get great flash shots.
