Setting tips
Select AF-S for Focus Mode when shooting a stationary subject. When autofocus focuses against your will on the background (such as the sky), select Flexible Spot, which enables accurate focusing on a specific point that you choose. For handheld shooting, it is convenient to know the rough shutter speeds (1/x sec. or faster, whereby x = lens focal length in mm) that deliver photos without blur from camera shake. In other words, the shutter speed should be 1/50 sec. or faster when using a 50mm lens.
Shooting tips
If image quality is the top priority for a scenic photo, it's a good idea to set the ISO sensitivity as low as possible. But when shooting in the gentle, dramatic-looking light of morning or evening, the shutter speed in use may be too slow for handheld shooting. You may also want to frame the shot steadily before precisely choosing a point of focus. In such cases, having a tripod and remote commander for the camera provides greater assurance that you can clearly capture the shot that you want.
