Suggested Camera Settings?


I will be taking some "mugshots" of my local High School Fall sports teams in a few days. They will be taken inside of the High Schools Gym. After past trials, I always have huge issues trying to take photos in the poor/weird gym lighting, They always end up extremely noisy and/or the color is really off. So, what are some suggested settings (ISO, WB, etc.) to use to get better quality photos? Also, should flash be used?

Equipment that I have: Nikon D5200, Nikon SB-700 Speedlight, Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm 3.5-5.6G lens.

Windows 10: Why can't I import photos from camera?


I have a D5100 Nikon and when i connect it to my PC via USB, a box pops up telling me the computer can't find the device. When I try to open up the D5100 through "This PC", it says there are no files on it. I have never had a problem with my camera before and importing to any other computer.

Are these Nikon lenses good?


Im thinking about buying a Nikon d3300 with the 18-55mm lens that comes with it. My first question is, are the lens that come with it good for general photography and will they be able to capture good detail? Also im thinking about getting an extra lens later on, probably this one here:

Is this any good, or is the same quality as the one given with the camera? Because if it isnt that good i might save up for this one instead:

Playback display options on Nikon d5200?


In the playback menu on my 5200 there is playback display options. I wanted to use highlights and I have used them before but turned them off. Now I want them on again and I know how to turn them on you check the box just as you would for any of the options then click ok. My problem is that it never actually works. At first I though maybe I just don't have any highlights so I tried overview and histogram and everything else and nothing shows up after I take a picture and I can't figure out why. If anyone knows how to fix this it would be great.
