I am seeing conflicting data here, but what I cannot deny is that there is a flood of aurora photos being posted from Europe in the past couple of hours on my AuroraReach app. I have 1 aurora web site telling me the KP index is at 9 right now and a G4 geomagnetic storm. The Geophysical Institute...

What lens you are using is important. If it has an aperture control ring on lens you must have it adjusted to the highest f-stop. Often there is some kind of lock to keep it there so the camera can control aperture. Or try a different lens.

This is the all-too-common OOPS screen nikonpup.

Focus limiter is there to restrain autofocus to a specific range so it will not hunt as much. Just turn it off when working on manual focus and don't worry about it.

It's a different lens mount. They will work with the Nikon FTZ adapter in-between.

I want to say it's no problem, just do this and that. But that is not true. You can move the focus point square around the screen to select your point of focus. The camera will to focus there and should beep to acknowledge focus (if in default operation). Your mushroom subjects are not really...

Your eyes are unable to see what is in focus? Zooming in allows you to see the micro details of the photo to judge focus. Turn the focus ring and watch the details get sharper or blurry.

Sources appear to agree. I see common is not on the sleeve as I expected but the 2nd ring. Release is tip, focus lock is 1st ring. And there is a 22 ohm resister in series for protection. I might have followed my high school electronics teacher's advice and use a signal diode in series there...

My misunderstanding. My response is right for a Z5 but incorrect for Z5II. And that is a 4 conductor phone plug instead of the more industry-standard 3 conductor plug other cameras use. Odds are the lowest (outermost) conductor of the barrel is the common like any A/V connector and then you...

Don't have the pin out, but it's the same remote used for years on Nikon DSLR bodies. Aftermarket units are dirt cheap. https://a.co/d/jirASGC

And you can add a film scanner attachment to a macro lens to digitize real photos from a film camera. That's all anybody could really need, right? 😜

It will try, with about as good success as my D750. There will be misses with the hits. It is the entry-level model, which is why I am promoting the Z6II. It will work just that much better at everything. Edit: Not a real fair test, but on my eagle excursion 3 weeks ago, my bird-in-flight...

It's a lot slow, but so is the 24-50mm.

I have a feeling this lens is destined to replace the Z24-50mm. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1941956-REG/nikon_20132_nikkor_z_24_105mm_f_4_7_1.html Kind of a mirrorless take on the old 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5. Looks like it will be cheap enough to be the new kit lens, and a much more...

My short take is if you want more pixels, then the 45MP Z7. But the 1st gen Z7 and Z6 have feature shortfalls that were corrected in the 2nd gen bodies. Big one is they added a SD card slot to supplement the single slot of gen 1. So if you might be happy with a 24MP sensor, I say get a Z6II. Z5...

Exactly what are you thinking you need to control on the lens? I believe just focus and zoom is going to be available. If you buy a full manual lens, then you will be forced into using manual mode and dialing the aperture on lens. Shutter still has to be controlled by the shutter wheel. You can...

On the most basic level, any of those cameras would be a major upgrade for you. I have some feelings on this, and they favor getting into a mirrorless body early and not be hindered with having to buy 10 year old gear and keep looking through used sales to find even older stuff as the years go...

I don't believe I use the year for the in-camera copyright since the date and time are embedded in exif data with the copyright. But I will update my watermark overlay.

Choose only 1 of my babies!?!? But really, I love them all the same!

Not that many to choose out of. :)
