Standard Setting

I like to also take JPGs with the DNGs. Storage is free. Makes it easy to review in Preview to get a quick idea of which are the keepers. And then I sort the DNG's based on that so I don't import 100's of shots  into Lightroom.

 

I've been adding a +1 for JPG contrast. It tends to make the JPGs read better.

DNG only except when I know in advance I may be sharing via email.   Auto WB.  ISO 200.  Everything else standard.

I have a user preset for DNG+JPG

I have a user preset for Auto ISO

I have a user preset for bracketing on

Only major feature I disable is video mode. I bloody hate that M button.

Mostly I use Classic metering, but will occasionally change to Advanced in challenging lighting conditions.
