Little farm full of funny critters.. this Nikon D500 is getting a workout.. some times very frustrating but i am learning.. but one thing off on the settings and i spend an hour going through them all to find the error.. then i might mess it up fixing that.. anyway i will hopefully ..get there.. but there sure is alot to learn on this camera. Any help or suggestions is always welcome..

Write down your settings on a series of Index Cards? One card for each of the multiple menus.

I spent more than a year photographing our cats in our backyard. I tried different settings in manual and would check the meta data of the ones I liked and didn't like. I am constantly trying new things and learn something new every week. Keep up the good work

Great idea and with out any public distraction and being right in your own property you can relax much more right things down, take breaks. run in the house for a beverage anytime. Keep at it, you are doing well .

Your not alone, i have no clue about most stuff photography related considering how deep it can go and only care about capturing things I think is worthy at least at the time and knowing how to use and understand my camera and lenses to the best off my and the gear ability.

When I was learning, I would take a series of photos based on the menu I was trying out. It was easy to take 100+ photos and then format the card.

yes it is easy.. especially with this fast camera.. sometimes i think it will get worn out it goes so fast..thank you Cheryl..
