Hi!

 

I am a newbie!  To start shooting w/ a D90, I am planning to use the Auto Mode.  What settings, if any, can be changed if I use the Auto Mode?

 

Thank you!

The Focus points

(Auto-focus, if the switch is on the lens)

For the rest most likely ... none

You will be better off starting in P mode. This lets you control ISO, raw, jpg or both, Picture control, manual white balance, colour space and the flexible program setting that lets you change the aperture and shutter pairing on the fly if you want to try another. The Auto setting is more something to use when you hand the camera over to a non-photographer to take a snapshot.

Dear Jerry,

 

Thank you for your reply!

 

MCurrie of the Nikonians forum suggested to look at the back of the Nikon D90 Manual. I did and everything is spelled out.
