So based on that picture can you tell if the settings are set to best picture? I have a 2 gig sd card it only saves like 200 pictures, does that sound right? I would think it would hold a lot more

According to the D90 manual a 2GB card in a D90 shooting RAW files will save 133 images, or if shooting Fine quality JPGs it will be 271 images.

A JPG from the camera will be about 6MB but the RAW file can be about 11MB.


The original image file shows it has been shot as a JPG.

What is the difference between raw and fine? Does it look like it is set for the best picture?

2gb is quite a small capacity card these days. You can get yourself an 8gb card for only a few dollars now that 16, 32, 64 and 128gb cards are regularly out there.

Now the image...did you support the camera on a tripod?
Because the shutter speed is 1/8 sec which is a bit slow for handholding.

The general room of thumb is that to avoid camera shake you need to have a shutter speed faster then 1/ focal length used.

In your case you used 18mm ...so conventional wisdom would recommend a shutter speed faster than 1/18sec....not 1/8sec.

Of course, using automatic and program modes, the camera decides the settings. Apart from going onto the other manual and semi manula modes, your main option is to increase the ISO. It's currently at 200. If you dialled this up to (say) 800 it would change the camera settings to make the shutter speed faster, for hand holding.


Incidentally I see from the data younhave focus mode set to AF-A. Personally I would set this to AF-S.

Raw is the unmodified file that requires software to optimise its appearance.
Fine is a Jpeg setting. With all jpeg settings the camera does some in camera optimisation of the image. Once done, it compresses the file to save space. The amount it compresses the file CAN have a quality Impact. So using Fine setting it minimises the amount of compression and maximises quality. Of course the less you compress...the bigger the files and the more space it takes on your card.

Generally speaking many serious photographers use raw, as they feel its important to have total control of the processing. But in modern cameras for most people the quality from Jpeg is perfectly acceptable.

Can you tell me how to change the setting you mention? I do hand hold most of the time. What I am doing is taking pictures of damage to homes for insurance claims on sinkholes. Many times it is a small nail pop or a small crack in the ceiling. So I need to zoom in and take a clear picture.

I think that you need to use JPG rather than RAW.
Set the ISO to AutoISO with a minimum shutter speed of 1/100th or faster.
