Copyright setting in menu on camera?

My fiancé and I are working on setting up a wedding photography business and our main camera body is a Nikon D750.  I watched an initial setup video for this camera recently where a wedding photographer recommended using the menu setting 'copyright' to insert his business name and website address.  I added this option in my D750 menu.  When I later told my fiancé about it she flipped her lid because she learned from Taylor Jackson that you want to be able to turn your digital image over to your clients and allow them to make as many copies as they want and to own the images.

Would me using a setting such as this actually prevent any of this from being possible, especially since it isn't a real copyright?

Any © info you Nikon will attach to the RAW file, affects only
those files. When published, you may opt for attaching © info
or not. Better still is to sign a © release to a specific person or
organisation leaving the © info in the metadata.

As a new arrival to this forum may I say 'Welcome aboard' - there are heaps of people here with many years of photo experience, and most are available to help you with questions such as this one

May I say at the start that it is many years since I have done any paid weddings - I did them for many years until it became tiresome. But at no stage, did I ever give the originals be they film or digital to the client for their subsequent actions. It is simply never done by a professional, independent photographer. If however you are an employee of another business, then you are simply a 'camera operator' and what happens after you hand over your images to the manager is no longer your concern

Two things here -
a) you say that "My fiancé and I are working on setting up a wedding photography business" and this sounds as though you are new to the photography-for-payment world. Should this be the case then I invite you to do many, many hours of practice with camera + computer editing + marketing =before= you attempt a commercial gig of this sort, and
b) a significant reason why we do not pass originals to others is that should they make a mess of the editing and printing process, when others see the crappy print / digital image and ask "who took this photo" it is your name that is used, not theirs ... and they are the ones who have mucked-up the original image

So to come back to your original issue re- inserting your copyright data into the camera ... I would NOT be conducting any commercial activities WITHOUT that data being on each image

Hope this helps

It is very rare for anyone to turn over originals (RAW) to the client. Work for hire, or for the right price, yes.

But for weddings? No.

What you will do is deliver JPGs to your client, and license your images to them. And those will be copyrighted because you own them. No one transfers ownership of images to a client. A client can have a JPG and print/share/whatever with your say-so. Nothing more is required. And you maintain ownership so that you can use them for promotion.

In short: your wife doesn't understand how this works. So suggest you do more research into photography business procedures, either through WPPI or PPA.
