![]() The D60 has done a fine job of balancing flash light with ambient light and the result is very natural. Portrait: 2.82MB, Program, 1/100, f16, ISO 200, 18-55mm at 55mm (equivalent to 83mm)įor this portrait shot we kept the sensitivity at 200 ISO and manually popped-open the built-in flash to fill-in harsh shadows and provide some balance to the overcast background. The camera, set to the default AF-A mode, correctly identified the ship approaching and switched to continuous focus to keep the result sharp.Īs you’d hope, the increase to 200 ISO hasn’t had a negative impact on noise levels, although the heavily saturated processing remains. Our third sample was taken with the D60’s sensitivity increased to 200 ISO and the lens zoomed-into its maximum 55mm. Landscape: 4.85MB, Program, 1/200, f7.1, ISO 100, 18-55mm at 18mm (equivalent to 27mm)Īnother shot taken at 100 ISO with the kit lens zoomed-out under bright conditions.Īgain the lake has a slightly unreal blue colour to it, but if you like punchy images, you’ll love the D60’s default settings.Īnd again the crops are sharp and detailed, even up to the corners – the new DX 18-55mm VR is a great performer for the money. The crops are sharp and detailed with no noise or other artefacts to worry about. This shot illustrates the D60’s default image processing, which is certainly vibrant, although you can tone it down if preferred. It was bright and the sensitivity set to 100 ISO, so this represents ideal conditions. This first shot was taken with the D60 and the 18-55mm zoomed-out to an equivalent of 27mm. The three crops are typically taken from far left, central and far right portions of each image. The crops are taken from the original files, reproduced at 100% and saved in Adobe Photoshop CS2 as JPEGs with the default Very High quality preset, while the resized images were made in Photoshop CS2 and saved with the default High quality preset. The individual exposure mode, file sizes, shutter speeds, aperture, ISO and lens focal length are listed for each image. The D60 was set to Large Fine JPEG mode and sRGB, with Auto White Balance, 3D Matrix metering and the Optimise Image parameter set to Normal for sharpening, tone, colour, saturation and hue Noise Reduction and Active D-Lighting were set to their default Off settings. VR was enabled for all these handheld images. The following images were taken with a final production Nikon D60 running version 1.0 firmware and fitted with the Nikkor DX 18-55mm VR kit lens. ![]()
