Not so sure i agree with this just yet. I would say to shoot in auto for a little while to get used to the camera before switching to manual or even shutter priority. Especially if you're going from a phone to a camera or Nikon to Canon (and vice versa). Auto can often produce the best photos but not unless you completely know your settings and how the specific camera reacts to light/color. ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIKE TO SPOT FROM INSIDE A MOVING CAR. NEVER USE MANUAL THERE.

Yeah, I feel like a lot of people will shoot in manual just to say they do. When I'm at car week I shoot auto almost the entire time (except at night of course).


I agree there. Probably because all of the photography websites always say they should but what everyone forgets is that those photography websites are all talking about landscapes and not automotive photography. if there's a lot of movement (water being the exception) i wouldn't recommend manual at all.

If there is a lot of movement you have to shoot manual...

If i had to pick my absolute biggest piece of advice for a new camera owner though, it would be to go buy a Hoya or B+W polarization filter as soon as you get the money.

Just get a cheap tiffen lol, works fine

That's me lol. I honestly have never played around too much with manual, and unless the shots have very bad lighting, I don't even bother. I've done fine with auto for almost all of the pictures I've taken.

ONLY USE RAW IF YOU HAVE A RAW CONVERTER IF YOU DON'T YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO USE THE PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And also the D3300 is an awesome camera. I'm so happy with mine. I'd highly reccomend the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 lens when you get the chance, I just got it and am in love lol.
Also, manual with the D3300 can be a little annoying if you don't play with the settings for every single picture. Also, if you're doing manual focusing (which I don't really reccomend unless it's needed) you have to be careful because it's super easy to get out of focus pictures.

You can use Nikon's View NX 2 program from their website to convert your files from RAW to JPEG. Your camera should have come with a CD to install the program on your computer. If not, you should be able to download it from Nikon's site for free.

or, download adobe's RAW to DNG Converter for free, that way it keeps the images in RAW format, but it is a RAW that is openable by your computer, also, if you just open them up in Lightroom then you can see them without having to convert them
