None.......best to do it on Photoshop.

Darren · 4th November 2005

Normally None or at most Low. Prefer to use Photoshop's sharpening tools and the new Smart Sharpen function is the one I use all the time now.

Artosoft · 4th November 2005

Depending on shooting wat subjects, will set to diff settings.

Astin · 4th November 2005

I would suggest NONE for in-camera sharpening. Use Nikon Capture to sharp after the shoot, if too many images can do a batch process.

espn · 4th November 2005

I leave it at Normal, since it's not affecting NEF files, in NC, can always change it.

airforce1 · 4th November 2005

I leave it at normal when using raw, use capture or ps to fine tuning.

Incastasman · 6th November 2005

depand on de curves i use.. some curves dun need to sharpen.. sometimes i jus leve it normal, as i will do it in Photoshop.

IvT · 9th November 2005

I normally leave it at normal and use PS later for further enhancements

Normal in cam and all works in Photoshop using Nik Sharpener Pro.

d7t3 · 17th November 2005

"normal" for casual shooting; "off/none" for special events -> USM

andrewtanjk · 17th November 2005

Why not use the SHARP setting in-cam ? Most of my pics are blur in normal mode.

Shiro MS08th · 19th November 2005

None.

Using PS smart sharpen if needed.

Witness · 23rd November 2005
