I've never used back button focusing. That's a personal preference thing, so I suggest you try it - see if you like enough to keep using it. I always have my D7000 with me. On my photo trips, I ...

Go online to nikonusa.com and find the customer support option to download user manuals. Get the D600 manual in pdf format. Then use it to see a diagram of the focus points  - that will tell you ...

Renting a 24-70/2.8 would give a fast lens over the full zoom range, but that lens on your D600 will feel like a cinder block hanging on your neck by the end of the day. Even your 24-85 will have ...

First, try a hard reset of the camera and see if the U1/U2 issue remains, if it doesn't, life is good again. If a reset doesn't solve the problem, contacting Nikon might help, although I am ...

What does your Dad take pictures of, and under what light conditions? If he shoots daylight only, and maybe indoors with the flash, the D80 could be all he needs. What does he do with his photos? ...

I strongly recommend you go to: http://www.naturalart.ca/voice/blog.html Mr. Hill does truly exhaustive testing and his evaluation of the 120-300 should tell you what you want to know. Use you ...

Not sure if you mean D700 or D7000, but it really isn't important to what you need to do. First, the grain - check the current ISO setting. Is it higher than you expect, or do you use Auto ISO? ...

Frankly, Morris has about as much real-world experience at shooting BIFs as anyone you are likely to find, so I suggest giving his recommendation a lot of consideration. Remember that the longer ...

I agree that your best option is to contact Sigma and see if they have an update that can take care of the problem. If there is no fix from SIgma, you still have an option. The Nikon update simply ...

I'll second this experience - in part. A few days ago I, too, received an email from Nikon thanking me for registering a camera I purchased and registered last spring. However I did not try to ...

#1 - darken red slightly and lighten cyan #2 - darken red slightly #3 - complicated. desaturate all colors some, then individual colors, especially red and green will probably need further ...

I made the switch to FF several years ago and bought the D610. I've been quite happy with it, but it has its limitations. I upgraded from a Nikon D7000 when I got the D610. I got the D7000 in 2010, ...

Your "head right UP to Sedona" leads me to believe you are flying into Phoenix. That makes a difference. If you haven't been to Arizona before, I suggest optimizing your time for the Grand Canyon. ...

Missing from your post is a vital piece of information - where did the manager get this other photo, and has the reluctant employee agreed that it can be used for the website. If the employee ...

I'll expand on the Ansel Adams legacy. He tested pretty much every combination of film and developer, and the negatives that could be produced when underexposing, overexposing, with certain ...

My list of favorites, is similar - I just restrict myself to selected parts of the year because of the mobs. 1 Yellowstone/Grand Teton, WY (mid-week in fall & spring, OK all winter) 2 Denali, AK 3 ...

Unless AA is different from the rest of the world, you should pay attention to which seat you choose - the size of the spaces under the seats in row in front of you are not all the same size. The ...

You are far more likely to get a useful answer if you post this in the mirrorless forum. And you should make it unmistakably clear what happens when you shoot at the wider angles with and without ...

My estimate is that the seal around the perimeter of the LCD is compromised, and moisture got under it. That could create the white circular objects that aren't an electronic image, and would ...

I haven't experienced anything like this with my D610, but I have a few ideas. Autofocus is a joint venture between the body and the lens - either could cause problems. Have you tried a different ...
