Beautiful images--I love the color and light. Bob

Below is a hand-held spontaneous grab shot.  I was trying to capture the two little girls in mid-air as they were jumping to their mom.  I didn't succeed, but I think it shows that the DP2M...

I use the OVF which lets me brace the DP2M against my forehead.  I regularly get sharp images at 1/15 (but not always).  The problem with this technique is that it takes a while to learn to...

Sorry, I didn't see that manual focus had been discussed already.  The only thing I would add is that you can use the AEL button to lock the focus without locking the exposure.

Why not just focus the lens at infinity manually?

Seems you're right--a quote from the Nikon Store shipping policy is below.  Sounds like Nikon Service has the same policy. "A recipient signature is not needed for deliveries from the Nikon Store....

I had this UPS incident a few years ago:  I stayed home to take delivery of a new computer and kept watching the online tracking.  I was suddenly surprised to see the tracking info showed  it had...

It's irrational, I know, but I share your fear. Lovely light and color.

Hi Andrew, It seems my previous conjecture is wrong--I encountered the same problem you describe with some high ISO BW shots I took this evening.  I was careful to keep all settings the same when I...

Rick, ISO1250 was used (it's in the data at the top) so he probably was using noise reduction as you surmised in one image but not the other. Bob

Hi Andrew, I don't think this is a bug.  In the sharper image, you have applied custom settings (see the orange indicator at the top), and in the softer image you have the original photo as taken...

See if the Windows Event log has any additional information.

I don't see a way to do precisely what you want, but I use P mode and auto ISO to do something similar.  P mode seems to try to keep shutter speed in a normal range, and moves into hand-shake...

My sentiments as well!  Thanks for sharing.

Lin, I think what the manual is trying to say is that in manual mode, you can manipulate  the shutter speed and/or aperture settings to provide over- or underexposure as indicated by the meter...

Hi Rattymouse,I usually don't get involved in this type of exchange, but I felt the need to respond in this case.  Since you've gotten your DP2M you've asked many questions here and I think you've...

Make certain you're using the latest firmware for the camera (now 1.04).  It's a two-part update so make sure to follow the install instructions carefully.  Firmware 1.02 introduced a minor bug: in...

Very beautiful.

MotomanDK, your photos look very much like where I live in Westchester, NY so I hope you'll soon be seeing flowers as well.Thanks to everyone for looking, your comments and suggestions are much...
