Any recommended contrasts or settings,etc?

I'm looking to take some professional-looking photos :]

Answer 1

I would recommend using Photo Bracketing.  I'm sure your camera supports bracketing, but you may need to look into the manual to find how to activate it.  Bracketing basically takes three shots every time you take a picture each shot with a different exposure.  So that if you are unsure what to set the exposure to, it will save three shots with different exposure.  Hopefully this makes sense!

Answer 2

Make sure your camera is set to the highest resolution setting- 8 mp.

Use AE mode, which allows auto exposure, but with some input from you.

Select a lower ISO setting, even if working indoors.

High ISO settings will result in a grainy image. If you must work indoors, put the camera on a tripod.
