shooting. You may want to use different names and settings
in each bank; however, you could learn something from how I
configure each of mine:
▪ Bank A – General Purpose: Bank A is my general
purpose bank. I use it when I’m just walking around with
my camera doing general photography. I will often
modify the camera’s settings when using bank A. I know
to check before shooting when using this bank. I
generally shoot in RAW mode but might switch to JPEG
as needed. This is a completely variable bank, and the
only one I modify regularly.
▪ Bank B – Best Quality RAW:
This is for when I am shooting commercially, with the
best quality my camera can muster. I use this on any type
of shoot that requires me to post-process the images
in-computer. My critical settings for bank B are Image
quality at NEF (RAW), with NEF (RAW) recording set
to Lossless compressed and NEF (RAW) bit depth at
14-bit, Image size set to Large, White balance to AUTO,
Neutral (NL) Picture Control, Color space to Adobe
RGB, Active D-Lighting to Off, and ISO sensitivity to
Lo 1 (100 ISO). Once set, I rarely modify this bank.
Note: NEF (RAW) bit depth set to 14-bit will slow the
camera’s frame rate from 7 frames per second to 2.5
frames per second. If you are a max-quality sports or
wildlife shooter, you may want to leave it set to 12-bit
instead.
▪ Bank C – Best Quality JPEG: This bank is for when I
have no time to post-process the images. I need them as
soon as I shoot them but must have maximum quality.
My critical settings for bank C are Image quality set to
97
