What type of tips are provided? For example, what the setting should be in night/low light photo situation?

Yes. It will provide general settings and then additional tips for sunny day or snow, night or low light, sunrise and sunset, portraits, etc. Also some trouble shooting for common problems encountered. Very handy.

If you do not buy these cards you will kick yourself in the end. I will tell you about the low light setting you ask about. You need to know if you are using a tripod or not the settings are different. The card says you need an extra wide max aperture (like f/1.8) use a low ISO (200-400) for maximum image quality for tripod shots. The cards will also tell you settings for Noise, White balance, and Stills. This is page 9 of 18 in these cards. I am telling you this is the best source of info I have run into. I tell my kids when they ask how to take pictures of there kids (my grandkids) to look at these cards. I have them clipped to my camera bag. I hope this helps, Dale

Section 9 is night or low light settings; 10 is sunrise and sun set, it gives general things like equipment (tripod lens with extra wide aperture. Then a general settings section like iso 200-400 setting options. Then the bottom 1/2 of page is settings Noise-white balance. These tips wont line by line tell you how to do it. but they do give good general tips. There is allot more on the cards than I expected and as listed they are Nikon Digital SLRQuick reference guide.

Agreed that a tripod is essential for clear nightime pictures. I got some very good moon photos using Shutter Priority mode. The Night Landscape mode has also worked very well for nighttime shots.

With no lighting and no flash, it will be dark. No way around it. try using better lighting. I shoot underwater, and movies are great.

That depends - how dark a night are you filming in? Is there any other source of light on the subjects being filmed? How far away is the subject being filmed? This is not a camera designed for very low light situations - there are others (much more expensive) that do that if that is your primary need.

You should select "smart mode" first. You may do that by turning the knob on top of the camera to the black rectangle with a white "s" in the middle. You should then see a menu on the screen for various lighting situations. Select "Low Light Shot" from the menu, and remember to hold the camera steady during the shot. In this mode, you'll hear four clicks in rapid succession, and then the camera will process the shot. I hope this has helped.

Since this is a very good camera what you might want to do is some research on lighting that you can attach to it for night lighting. There is only so much that can be done at night as should be known. There are some really good lights now being produced such as LED.

The lights are at 3200k which is warmer than daylight. Set your color balance for the shoot and all should be fine. Should you have a mixed daylight plus these lights and feel there is too much yellow to your liking, simply pull out some yellow in edit. I am satisfied with these lights.

Hello. Yes it does work in low lighting areas. In the menu you can set it to 3 settings. Daylight, twilight, & night. I have shot at different times of day and been happy with the results. ( But I guess it will depend on just how low you mean. ) Hope this is helpful.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. I will take every one of your suggestion into consideration the next time. What really puzzled me is the fact that some pictures taken in the same room under the same lighting condition do not have the shadow and some do. I wish I could show you the pictures. If you have any suggestion on how I could share a photo with you please let me know.

You could probably change the ISO/shutter/aperture settings to compensate for low lighting, but I usually set it to Auto mode, and I feel it's not bad. I can still see relatively well although it's rather noisy/fuzzy (it hardly bothers me, but I usually try to avoid low lighting anyways).

It can be set either apiture or shutter priority. It has settings for night shots, and just about any thing you need.

I use bulb setting as well. This feature works best when you have a remote that is capable of being locked so you don't have to personally hold open the shutter for the duration of the shot.

The camera has a button control for adjusting its background lighting. You can reduce the amount of light the camera receives from ambient light with the button control.

I just started using camera, have a couple of starter questions.Started while it was dark out to take picture of my tabby in the house. Took pictures of him with and without flash, the flash overwhelms, but picture is a hair too dark. How do I get a slightly lighter picture.Then it got nice and light in the house and I tried taking pictures of my deep grey cat, about 8:30 with sun coming through shades behind me. Viewfinder and pictures make his deep grey fur way too light. Short of darkening the room, how do I get a more realistic picture. Happens with flash on or off.

Go to the DRO settings (Dynamic Range Optimizer) and turn it off completely. Make sure it's not in "Auto". The DRO is very useful in extreme lighting situations and to lift exposure in the dark areas of a photo. It's almost like the HDR mode but only with one shot.
