Camera-Specific Tips

  • 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.
