Photo tip of the week: Create a “reset routine.”

Do you reset your cameras at the end of a shoot? Do you double check your settings when you begin a shoot? Do you do one or the other, or both?

Some cameras have a reset default factory settings option.

Maybe you want to reset to something like shutter priority (S), 1/160th of a second, ISO 400, exposure compensation 0, AWB, evaluative metering, JPG. Even easier, set the dial to program mode (P). Know that the easiest thing to adjust in the moment is your ISO – if it’s dark, remember to bump up your ISO.
This way if you need to quickly grab a shot, you can.
