Do You use them on standard og some on high or low? Best regards Martin I would leave the settings in their default positions. The only "custom" setting on mine is the cursor settings for the wheel. I prefer the up arrow to set the quality and the down arrow to set the ISO. The other two are white balance and spot focus. You'll find a lot of information on Thorsten's site. And you may find interesting Digilux 2 ramblings on my journal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveleo Posted February 5, 2009 Share #3 Posted February 5, 2009 hi there .... best of luck with your D2 .... great camera. my (non-pro) comments are: i use the default settings almost always (if the world is drab and i'm in a punchy mood about the subject, i will kick up the saturation). the bounce flash is the best thing anyone ever invented for flash users (why would anyone use a small direct flash unless shooting horror movies ?)..... better yet, don't use flash at all (but that comment is not specific to the D2). don't overlook that B&W "color balance" setting .... you will be very impressed with those results.

laptoprob Posted February 6, 2009 Share #4 Posted February 6, 2009 Contrast and saturation low. Except in very low contrast weather. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
parigby Posted February 6, 2009 Share #5 Posted February 6, 2009 I can second the B&W setting point, it is first rate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krabat Posted February 6, 2009 Share #6 Posted February 6, 2009 Well, I have contrast and saturation normal, and sharpness low. Regards, Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruhayat Posted February 6, 2009 Share #7 Posted February 6, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) What does colour balance B&W setting mean? How do I get it in the camera? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPerson Posted February 6, 2009 Share #8 Posted February 6, 2009 What does colour balance B&W setting mean? How do I get it in the camera? Thanks. Two ways: 1. Choose "Menu" scroll to "W.Balance" then scroll across to "B/W". 2. Chose "Function" then up to "W.Balance" then down to "B/W". Page 128 in the manual. Hope that helps.

daveleo Posted February 6, 2009 Share #10 Posted February 6, 2009 yikes..... sorry for the mis-statement.... i did mean "B&W in the white balance menu" ..... not the "color balance menu". i miss my mind, now that it's gone ;>) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruhayat Posted February 7, 2009 Share #11 Posted February 7, 2009 Two ways: 1. Choose "Menu" scroll to "W.Balance" then scroll across to "B/W". 2. Chose "Function" then up to "W.Balance" then down to "B/W". Page 128 in the manual. Hope that helps. Ah. Thanks. It simply means using B&W in the camera! LOL. I thought there was some way to tweak the B&W setting further -- you know, like with the new firmware for the Ricoh GRD, where you can adjust saturation and contrast to B&W images in the camera itself.

lesh Posted February 7, 2009 Share #12 Posted February 7, 2009 The comments on the B&W in camera setting are interesting. I don't normally go B&W but would always have shot in the normal way and then tried the various B&W process options offered in Lightroom. Maybe some comparison tests are in order.
