    D600.. EN-EL15 battery only charging to about 75-85% each time - FIX..!!

    I'd say this could apply to any other Nikon DSLR that also uses the EN-EL15 battery (I don't know about the EN-EL15a though).. This isn't the first Nikon camera and/or first I've had issues with batteries that seemingly wont charge up properly,, but hang on a second,, or should I at least say -...

    Measuring Lux levels for different days - help required..!!

    I have lots of troubles getting good results on overcast days which are those one colour full grey/white from wall to wall coverage, no feature or contrasting clouds,, just one shade. It's the kind of day that even with the naked eye, everything, even the brightest colours, look dull and...

    Sirui P-204SR Monopod...

    Up 'til now I have used my two Manfrotto monopods, one larger unit with a ball-head and the other smaller unit without, and after a couple of outings you soon learn the value of these essential kit items. The other day I was in my favourite photography shop buying other items for the hobby when...

    Shutter count - STRANGE..!!

    Just over one week ago I took my D600 in for the shutter replacement, ex service advisory. Picked it up a couple of days ago and started shooting. I had only ever taken 1642 photos with the D600 from new,, yet I see my count now restarted at 3654. That's over 2000 pics more than it should be. Is...

    An eclipse through the eye of a D600...

    They said on the radio this morning there was supposed to be an eclipse mid morning. I didn't take much notice - Yeah, big deal... That was until about 1/2 of an hour ago things just got DARK, within about 10 min. I launched at the D600 and went outside. I have not a single clue about pointing...

    A quick Night Shoot - or something like that...

    I'm not into night shots but even though last Momday (5th Nov) was Guy Fawkes night here, the fireworks have been going strong all week and I keep missing out. My usual neighbours fireworks display just didn't happen this year, so I virtually got not fireworks photos this year at all. Tonight...

    What's on her mind..??

    Lastnight I was messing around with my flashlight, finding out that all the batteries I had in my bag for the flash, were flat as a pancake. It had been that long since I had used the SB-600 flash, I thought I had best try it on the new D600 because today I had to do some photgraphy for my...

    Cleaning fluid - how long does it last..???

    All of 3-4 years ago I bought a Delkin Sensor Scope Kit, with the sensor scope, mini vacuum cleaner, battery pack, swabs and of course the sensor fluid... I used it a couple of times on the D300 those 3 or 4 years ago but since then it has been in my cupboard. It's still practically full...

    Just one more question about the MB-D14 Grip...

    Ok, now I see the MB-D14 at least on the local Nikon website. I phoned and pre-ordered one, then while I was looking at it on the Nikon website, I noticed that you also get the battery trays like the MS-D14/MS-D14EN. Can someone please tell me that the tray(s) for them actually come with the...

    Battery grip for D600...

    I haven't seen any MB-D14 battery grips available here yet. I have seen a few places advertising replacement (third party) grips though. Given just how expensive genuine Nikon accessories are, is it worth a look at the others, if/when they are available. They could be as little as one quarter to...

    Are you into WWII warbirds

    How many of you are into Warbirds? If so, here's a shot I got just a few minutes ago. There's some sort of demonstration at the local Ardmore aerodrome this Saturday involving a De Havilland Mosquito from WWII. I bet not many of you have seen one of these. My brother and I went out to the...

    A question about the use of software...

    I was just wondering how you feel about the use of photgraphy software to alter photos as some people don't really like to mention it. I thought I had better ask before opening my mouth. I think we know which particular program(s) I am referring to...

    Another new member...

    Hello all, My name is Allan and I live in Auckland, New Zealand. Am 55yrs of age and although I've been taking photos since I was just a teenager, it got a little more serious after I bought a new D80 some 4 to 5 years ago. I only bought it because my brother laughed at my then small pocket...
