posted this for someone else but thought i'd share it here as well. i tinker with settings often though and nothing is clad in stone.

my camera settings (Coolpix P5100) are thus:
top dial set to A.
setup:
FUNC button set to ISO.
sound settings set to off. i don't want my camera to make sounds.
digital zoom set to off.
AF assist set to AUTO.
VR on.
date imprint off.
brightness 5.
date off.
welcome screen off.

A settings:
distortion control off.
converter off.
noise reduction AUTO.
fixed aperture on.
flash control AUTO.
flash exp. comp. 0
auto-focus mode Single AF.
AF area mode Center.

ISO sensitivity as low as possible, typically 64.
white balance AUTO.

image size 12m (4000x3000).

i also have the Macro (flower symbol) selected as well.

and that's about all i can tell you.
