A couple pics of the Babysitter for C&C

[ADI54]

probably a novice question - but choosing normal/vivid etc overwrites my customized settings right?

Is Normal better to use than changing the saturation and tone compensation manually?

and which color mode do you use (I/II/III)?

Bitter Jeweler - This one is truly underexposed. I think DSC_0895_729 | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
or DSC_1158_940 | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
shows it better.

seems like you and your owners manual need to spend some quality time together....

tnx for the lovely sarcasm mrpink, But I did warn it's a novice question.
Anyway, my camera didn't arrive with a manual and I couldn't find one to download.
All the information I have on it I've learnt from reviews online and forums. I'll be happy if you could give me a productive advice - such as where to download one.

it wasn't sarcasm. Almost all "novice questions" can be answered by the information in the owners manual.

as to the second part of your response, a four second google search yielded :

User's Manual - D40 - Guide to Digital Photography

My camera was used, so it didnt come with a manual either, you can go the nikon website and download the manual though...so try that
also...as PINK stated...Ken Rockwell has his own version of the manual that makes it easy to understand, but alas, that is one man's opinion, and I was shooting in vivid per his manual, but it was really making my pics looks weird, so I switched it. You have to have your own ideas of how you want your pics to look, not try Rockwells.

try Nikonusa.com then in the search area type D40 then choose the 1st option that says D40 and once you get to the product on the right hand corner box it says Manual..click on that...you can download it
or just use trusty old google!

Ken Rockwells user guide is pretty good for telling what the camera buttons do in plain english. If you can separate fact from opinion I actually suggest reading it, but only as a supplement to the owners manual.

Last time I tried "a couple pics of the babysitter" it nearly got me divorced!...:lmao:

Given your lens choices, these don't look too bad, but I would work on the exposure/lighting. don't be afraid to use a little fill flash.

My sides ache from laughing!! good one!
