The OP's camera is a D90.  Those are D7000 settings.

Are you sure that the camera acquired focus?  If you are taking pictures in AF-S, the camera will be in focus-priority and will not trip the shutter until focus is acquired. With a 10 stop filter,...

Setter Dog, you haven't told us yet what ISO your FZ200 was at.  At least that'll give you and us an idea of how much that extra stop over your A57 will buy you in the APS-C world.  I have a hard...

ISO is, frankly, whatever the manufacturer of the imaging system says it is.  Film ISOs and digital ISOs are not directly comparable.  What ISO basically means is that a certain exposure will...

Bah and humbug.  It's time to move to OMD EM5s and get REAL jpgs that don't need postprocessing. Hey...put down that tire iron...I was just joking...guys?

We're moving out of the populist phase of the internet and computing into a more efficiently monetized phase, and the thing that I'm a bit uneasy about is that the democratizing effect that open...

You're going to have similar problems with Nikon, at least in terms of aperture changes, focus hunting, etc.  Nikon's Liveview and video focusing is wretchedly slow compared to many mirrorless...

First off, the Panasonic's 600mm f2.8 lens in terms of light gathering power is not available at any price in the DSLR world: f4 is about as fast as you can go, at a cost of about $8,000.  In fact,...

Have a great trip.  You are carrying a charger, aren't you?  Add a outlet adapter and you're good to go juice wise.  Best not to rely on 3 batteries lasting 3000 shots. Since you are carrying a...

Remember also that what Adobe is implementing is a "phone home" form of continuous activation authorization. You can use their CC products for up to 37 days without checking in...after that, the...

A rough rule of thumb for subjects slowly walking across the frame is about 1/200-1/250. This will stop subject motion.  VR is most effective below 1/200.  If you're trying to stop fast action, or...

For years we railed against the purchase/maintenance model employed by a key software vendor to our company.  You purchased a "perpetual" license - actually only for a specific computer serial...

Appears not.  On the control panel (top LCD) and on the main monitor, but not in the viewfinder.

Remember to carry an umbrella.  You'll be traveling in rapidly changing weather with periodic heavy cloudbursts.  Don't forget the major parks in Tokyo and Kyoto.  There are wonderful flower...

I think we're veering off of the OP's original problem, which is that he got into a situation in which he had the wrong lens mounted on his camera and had to crop viciously, with the expected...

+1. Think Tank has an excellent "white paper" article on transportation vs working bags (requires you provide contact data, but they're trustworthy): http://www.thinktankphoto.com/active.aspx The...

There are dedicated HDMI secondary screens you can buy (go to BH photo and search for "dslr monitor") and you'll find a a wide range of screens from about $300 all the way to $1000 and higher....

You should read Kirk Tuck.  He just threw out ALL of his equipment blog posts to concentrate on the art and craft of his portrait and videography business.  In terms of creative output and...

He didn't say that.  What he said was you have to learn how to set your rendering settings properly to get what you want.  Nikon famously sets up their JPGs a bit soft and with flat contrast to...

If you're going to be in auto mode most of the time, the various bells and whistles on the D7100 and 7D will be of little use to you.  They will balance better with a long telephoto lens, but in...
