I have a Nikon D90. Really don't know how to use it. I keep it on auto. Recently When I download my pictures I get two of each picture one in a NEF and One in JPEG. How can I get it to stop doing this?
Also How do I set it up to take the highest resolution pictures? When I blow the pictures up they are blurry. Cant use them on website.
Hi and welcome
These issue are covered on pages 62 and 63 of your manual....if you have one.
If not, press the QUAL button on rear and rotate the main dial ( the one by your thumb when shooting) and watching the top display turn it to JPEG FINE. This will compress your images the least amount and ensure they retain optimum fidelity.
Next, press the same QUAL button and rotate the sub dial ( the one by your forefinger when shooting) and watching the same area of the top display turn it till L is shown. This gives you the Largest image size and therefore the best quality.
Next turn the program dial to P rather than the green Auto position.
This will do the same as auto except the focus. You focus by half depressing the shutter button on the subject to lock on, then all the way down to take the picture. On Auto setting the camera also does the focusing automatically....this may sometimes focus wrongly on closer or further away areas causing the main subjects you want in focus...to be out of focus....ie fuzzy.
Finally to ensure you get sharp pictures the lens quality and camera settings play a major part. We would need to know more about the lens you are using. But also the settings the camera is using. Eg shutter speed aperture and ISO.
The best way to help with this area, is for you to post some images in your gallery so we can read the shooting details in the file exif.
Don't worry or be embarrassed about the quality of the images ....we often post less than perfect images when trying to solve a problem or learn more about our equipment.
