Ps: For these reasons it is much preferred to use a memory card reader on your computer and remove the card from camera to transfer image files.

I don't have an answer for the USB situation other than the camera body might be set to use the USB for charging only. That would be changed somewhere in the setup menu system. The Wi-Fi situation is more complex. It is best summed up as you don't connect the camera to your computer or phone...

December 11, 2025: Port Washington, WI at the harbor. I'm surprised by how little snow they received compared to the foot+ of snow cover at my home.

OK, no help from the camera body for you here. I looked up the lens, it is about 45 years old, pre-AI vintage without any intelligence built-in. You will not get a focus confirmation assist in the viewfinder of your D3300. You will not get accurate exposure metering in the viewfinder. You can...

An F-mount lens will attach like any other. The top will be where you see the aperture ring indication. Align that about where the indicator is on the body then it will fit. Does the D3300 have non-CPU lens entry in the setup menu? If it does not, you won't be able to use the camera's metering...

Also you won't match the price of Vistaprint on home gear. Printing a full-page photo on 13 pages (12 months plus cover) is going to burn several ink cartridges unless you use an Epson eco-tank. And the premium paper often is only coated on 1 side and cannot be printed on both sides. So you...

I do use Vistaprint each year. I make a run with family birthdays and anniversaries preprinted as Christmas gifts. I make another run of desk format calendars that are handed out to coworkers at Christmas. And then I do another run of the letter size format with the spiral binding at top which...

Firmware is for the original FTZ with the squared-off bottom. Won't update the FTZ-II. Just a thought.

I think I see 2 problems here. First is over-exposing, the other is the difficulty with making autofocus work. I don't believe they are related (entirely). I am looking at the Kenro web site at that particular flash. It does say TTL, but that is not actually iTTL. Could be a misuse of the term...

Thanks! Of course it did not win, but this is one of my favorite images of the sun now.

With snow coming I doubt I will have new photos by month end. From the beginning of the month, First Unitarian Meeting House in Madison.

Clovishound has it right but I was also confused as to what you really were asking for help on. You must first select a Raw+Jpg mode for saving files, then separately in the setup photo shooting menu set the role played by slot2.

The viewfinder is previewing exposure and you can change that in the setup menu.
