Switching from raw+jpeg to just jpeg
Jun 29, 2015 21:46:54 #
I am somewhat frustrated and I hope someone may be able to give me a bit of help. I have a Nikon D3100. I have been shooting in jpeg plus raw. I recently tried to switch back to just jpeg but upon downloading, they were still in both formats. I have reset my shooting options and changed my image quality to jpeg fine and still no luck. I am sure I am missing something simple and would appreciate any help with the matter. Thanks!

I use the D3200 and will often switch between formats, It looks like your doing as your suppose to.
From the Menu screen - chose the little camera Icon
Scroll to Image Quailty- click on it
Then scroll to your selection and click it. It should go back on screen and OK should be lite.

When I go into the menu, it shows that it is on jpeg fine. It still seems to be taking them in raw format though. It has never did this before. Very confusing.

When all else fails you can do a complete reset with the green buttons !

Maybe the camera is smarter than you!
OK, sorry could not resist. Not really sure why anyone would shoot anything other than RAW. There is no reason to shoot RAW + JPEG, and JPEG along will not give you the dynamic range for editing.
But you could try a factory reset

If memory serves, once you make the selection an ok or confirm appears. You must select that and hit enter for the change to take effect.

I think there are good reasons to shoot RAW + JPG. Maybe you're learning post-processing, and you want the ability to go back later and edit those RAW files, but want to see your results in the meantime. Maybe you want to be able to post shots to social media. Maybe you don't have time at the present to edit, but want to see the results now. Maybe you're visiting relatives and want to leave behind a set of your shots.

Not so sure about the cheat cards, they seem to be how to over expose your shots! Maybe my monitor is too bright

I can't see why any would what to shoot RAW all the time. Guess some of use found it more advantageous to use JPEG.

"There is no reason to shoot RAW + JPEG"
Is that right. I love it when folks make blanket, absolute statements about others' shooting techniques. Perhaps you meant to say that you don't find the need to shoot raw plus jpeg.
Not sure what kind of photography you do, but when I shoot a job, I ALWAYS shoot raw plus so that I can easily and quickly sort through a 1,000 or more images to discard the obvious garbage and decide which "keepers" to process from the raw files. You ever try to sort through a days worth of images by viewing Raw files on your computer?
Be careful about blanket statements

After you have downloaded your SD card. What's the file extensions. Right click on a file then chose property's. It should say XXX.JPEG. not XXX.NEF.

I shoot raw + jpeg for a few reasons
I like black & white and the jpeg is handy on the back of the camera to see what I am getting.
Daylight
Far too often the sky gets over exposed when correctly exposing the subject or the subject is too dark with the sky correct. Raw allows me to use a graduated filter to balance them better (among other tools)
Jpegs are fast to look through and see which shots want binning and which have potential
white balance i tend to leave that on cloudy if it needs adjustment later I can sort that in raw.
I think there are advantages to both formats. I tend to sort by file type on the computer so i can easily scan through the jpegs and pick the best and sort by file name to bring the raw file back next to the jpeg if i feel its worth working on.
I've got better at post processing and an old good photo. I can now make a better job of it.

None of which are good reasons to shoot both and take up room on your card since the OP said they were using LR. LR using presets can do all that and more on import. And LR can also mimic the JPEG camera settings to your RAW file on import so you have the same JPED in camera edits on your RAW as the camera produced JPEG. IT's all a matter of utilizing the tools you have in the most efficient way possible.
