Tips
ISO
The D6 allows for a maximum ISO of 102400, making it great for low-light conditions.
Aperture
You can set the aperture in manual mode using the front command dial while looking through the viewfinder.
The Nikon D6 has a dedicated AF-ON button that allows you to separate focusing from the shutter release. This can be especially useful for tracking moving subjects without accidentally taking a photo.
Use the dual card slots on the Nikon D6 to automatically back up your photos as you shoot. Set one slot to record RAW files and the other to record JPEGs for easy sharing.
The Nikon D6 features a customizable function button near the lens mount. Assign a frequently used setting, such as metering mode, to quickly access it without diving into menus.
Take advantage of the Nikon D6's weather sealing when shooting in challenging outdoor conditions. This makes it a reliable choice for landscape photography even in rain or dust.
The Nikon D6's 105-point all cross-type AF system provides fast and accurate focusing, which is ideal for capturing sharp portraits with a shallow depth of field.
