    No camera operation for a Northern Lights shoot!

    Hi, I'm hoping somebody can help me with this. I have custom settings which include re-assigning auto focus to the AE-L button. I like this because I can choose where to focus for depth of field whilst having some control over which parts of a scene I want to choose for auto exposure. It should...

    Nikon blackout (anti reflective) lining in mirror box.

    Hi, I have a D750 and have had problems with the Nikon black out anti reflective lining shedding black fibres on to the sensor. At first sight I thought it was hairs or dust from outside and just blew them away. Everybody shooting with a DSLR comes across 'dust' but mine comes from inside the...

    D750: Unable to Clean Dust off Sensor

    Mine was the same until it went back to Nikon for the warranty recalls. Have a look at my photos attached. Has your D750 body been back for the recall fixes and does the inside look like my photos if you look with a magnifier?

    D750: Unable to Clean Dust off Sensor

    I have posted this to warn others. It worries me when you are out shooting and a seemingly unsolvable event occurs - either you get a setting configuration you accidentally set or in my case a dust spot on the sensor. Whilst on holiday with my D750 and 24-85mm lens combo, I got back to our...

    What minimum shutter speed do you use hand held with primes?

    When I first bought my D750 body I put on a 50mm prime lens for testing. That gave me a light body/lens combination for walkabout shots. Some shots had evidence of shake even at 1/60 which I thought would have been o.k. I am talking small amounts, so small you might think it was a focus issue...

    Focus check preview zoom - equivalent print size?

    I often think scrolling around the zoom preview (OK button) always shows soft pics to me. Does anybody know what the magnification or equivalent print size would be? It must be quite large looking at the ratio of the small box to the entire preview frame. Thanks.

    Nikon UK Warranty Recall Slow

    Hi All, I started the process of 'Advisory Issue Recall' in U.K for the shutter problem about 3 months ago. They say I should wait for an email which may take 2-3 weeks! Last week I resubmitted a new return request, then had an automated email 'apologising for delay and thanking me for my...

    New Look D750!

    Nikon couldn't give me a focus distance readout, the lens ring engravings for focus and distance are poor and assume servo control. Working with DOF and hyperfocal distance is a real pain. I'm also using a laser distance measure with my cellphone DOF app, but that needs batteries and is a...

    Getting focus right is the most important thing

    I migrated from semi pro DSLs with smaller sensors to the D750 and now I'm having to deal with 'real photography'. Depth of field was never something I worried too much about until now. I think this is the big pitfall for beginners and migrators moving to full frame. I can make mistakes with...

    Displaying photos on your T.V

    I thought I would share this in the general section because I fell into a trap with a hard to find solution. In the past I have used camera JPEGS, batch cropped and resized with IrfanView. You work out from the TV native resolution what variables to put into Irfanview. Because Irfanview saves...

    Highlight Overload and Dynamic Range.

    I've started this thread to see what others think. I've had several electronic cameras over the years and I am currently on the D750. But I'm finding the problem of sensor dynamic range, does not seem to have vastly improved. A captured image with blown highlights, like bad focus, cannot be...

    Auto ASA

    I started using the Auto ASA features in Aperture priority mode only to find the D750 setting itself to ridiculously high ASA values. I then set the maximum ASA to 3200 and minimum to 200 ASA with a minimum shutter speed of 1/30. The zoom lens I'm using has image stab. and hand held shots at...

    Folder and file management

    I shoot RAW+JPEG and Movie. This might be a wish list question but I would like the D750 to save each file type into a different folder name. When it comes to transferring files from the card, I have to rely on Windows file type ordering to distinguish all three file types saved in the same...

    D750 in a strange mode

    Hi, I am away on vacation and my D750 has got into a strange mode. I normally shot aperture priority. The autofocus display is the same as in full Auto mode. I normally see all the small squares on half press then a lock and solid small square at the lock point. At the same time in Auto I see...

    Fill flash on the D750 - Is the option really there?

    I have been all around the manual and cannot get my D750 to set options on Page 185 Flash Control Mode i-TTL balanced fill-flash for digital SLR using built in popup flash. I'm using matrix metering mode, 'A' priority and do not see the Flash Mode option on page 183: 'Fill Flash: The flash...
