<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 2167399, member: 36248&quot;]I know alot of people here say NO to autofocus, but I greatly prefer it when I am taking coin photos (all photos actually).&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; When taking photos of non-moving objects, like coins, make sure to set you D810 to <b>Single-Point</b> <b>AF-S</b>, NOT AF-C.&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://photographylife.com/recommended-nikon-d810-settings" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://photographylife.com/recommended-nikon-d810-settings" rel="nofollow">See here</a> for detailed explanation (among many other places, including the manual).</p><p><br /></p><p>I few more settings you might find handly for taking pics with Nikon using the tripod:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Electronic Front-Curtain Shutter</b>.&nbsp;&nbsp; I dont have that in my camera, but I use &quot;Exposure Delay mode&quot; for all coin pics.&nbsp; You should read about both.</p><p><br /></p><p>I cant tell you enough how imporant leveling the camera is.&nbsp;&nbsp; The mirror trick really does work great!</p><p><br /></p><p>If your not using Lightroom, I would recommend it.&nbsp; &nbsp; Shooting <b>Tethered </b>will make you camera, hands, photos, and back much happier!&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; It will greatly reduce shake from pressing the shutter release button.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Your photos are looking great!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
