My preferred Nikon D300 camera settings
These are the camera settings I use for day-to-day shooting with the Nikon D300.
Please realize that settings essentially tailor the camera to produce output that you prefer, so my settings won't necessarily work for you.
Picture Control
I use the Vivid Picture Control, modified as follows:
- Sharpening: Auto
- Contrast: Auto
- Brightness: Negative (-)
- Saturation: Auto

Interesting couple of pages on your D300 camera settings, the super GT race pictures were very good and I guess the more you play with the D300 the better you get at taking the ideal picture! I'm still an amateur photographer and it's one of my hobbies, I've had my NIKON D300 since Xmas 2007, so I'm always looking for "TIPS & TRICKS" from the guys out there with lots of Digital SLR camera experience, so if you have additional tips for me, I'd appreciate your comments to my email address above!
Take care & best rgds / Paul Speedie (Canada)

I think it is important to mention that the settings influence jpegs only. As far as I know, the settings (luckily) does not influence raw photography.
