This is how I normally shoot. I am able to focus on my subject and then adjust my framing to how I like it because my subject doesn’t always align with a focus point. One problem occurs when I’m taking a picture in single-shot autofocus (AF-S) and the focus locks then it stays locked until I half-press the shutter button again. Yet, there are a couple problems that I generally run into when shooting like this. It makes sense right? That’s the way it’s always been. You press the shutter button half way down to focus, and then all the way down to take the picture. When I first started shooting I had my camera setup like every other camera I have ever played with. Image with fixed exposure and recovered shadows. It’s pretty easy to bring detail back from the shadows whereas it's significantly harder and sometimes impossible to bring the detail back from blown highlights. If you are not sure whether you need to go up or down with your exposure compensation, then err on the side of underexposed. For this kind of work it’s important to realize you are not looking for perfect exposure in every shot (although that helps), you are trying to catch the moments as they happen. With practice you’ll be able to quickly see a scene and know if you need to go up or down with your compensation. What this does is links my exposure compensation to the rear wheel so that I can quickly adjust exposure compensation without the need to press any buttons. The key to using aperture priority like this is that in the menu, under custom settings, I have ab3 easy exposure compensation set to ON. Is it too low and I need to raise my ISO? Is it too low and the last 10 images I took are a mess with motion blur? No more worrying and double checking. With these settings I can walk around looking for moments and not have to worry about what my shutter speed is at.

In addition to aperture priority, I have auto ISO set to ON, my minimum shutter speed set to 1/200, and my max ISO set to 12,800. manual is the best and you’re not a pro if you don't shoot manual. However, if I’m shooting a bride getting ready in front of a window, then her dad walks in to see her for the first time and he is standing in a dimly lit doorway, the quickest way to get that shot is aperture priority. This article is geared towards the Nikon D750, however the majority of the settings, if not all, are applicable to most cameras.

I’m here to explain what I feel to be the best overall setup and why. It’s a small lightweight body that packs a major feature set and has even lured Nikon D4 shooters to 'upgrade.' The camera is packed full of customizations, some of which can be pretty hard to understand and even difficult to find. The Nikon D750 is one of the most talked about cameras in a long time.
