Have you done a two button reset? Two buttons will have green dots next to them, hold down the two buttons for a few seconds and the screen should ask if you want to reset the camera to factory settings... It's a good starting place. There are still some settings on some cameras which persist even after a reset but the important and some obscure settings are 'zeroed'. With some bodies permanent exposure compensation of plus or minus 1/3 of a stop isn't unusual. Keep a close eye on the histogram until you get used to the camera, even then keep an eye on it, that's your best guide. Our eyes are easily misled because they compensate for bright or dull light, we sometimes don't realise how bright or dull it really is, the sensor isn't that smart!

Yes - I did the reset and also cleared out some other user set items it doesn't cover. It is on the latest firmware too. I have read that it tended to overexpose so I'll have to see what correction it needs.

I almost always set -2/3 stop exposure correction (As opposed to compensation, the former doesn't show in the finder)

A few from today - experimenting with exposure and fill in flash to get the results I am looking for - D610 & 28-70mm f3.5-4.5

Love two, three would be nice but for the stick... The first one lacks sharpness, maybe movement, or focus? The bee and stamens should be really sharp in my opinion. Wind is usually the biggest enemy of flower photography. It can be dead calm, by the time I have set up my tripod and focused on the flower a breeze suddenly develops, it come from nowhere, the moment I reach for the shutter release!

Possibly some movement in 1 - I was after the hover fly and it kept moving! Sorry about the stick in 3 - I'll chop it off next time  I am pleased with 2, I stopped the lens down to get DOF and used flash to get the exposure - the shadows really throw the flowers into 3D

Technical question - the menu of the D610 offers the choice of 11 or 39 focus points - in what circumstances would I want to use each of these settings?

I’ve always assumed the more focus points the greater the risk the camera will choose to lock onto something other than the point you want (eg the background or close by detail). However in situations where the subject is moving about (eg birds in flight, sports) having more focus points increases your chance of keeping the focus locked on.

got to agree with you re-more focus points allowing for error Eric , there are many multi point modes on my current olympus body but I tend to find for a cluttered background just using either of the two single points is best (two sizes of points ) for birds in flight I tend to use cluster focus (all points) if the sky /background is clear .im pretty sure from memory that this will apply to the nikon A/F system to
