The focus limiting is to keep the lens from "hunting" the full length of focus while in AF. Set it to full. Focus stacking relies on a number of different images taken of the same subject while progressively advancing the focus point with overlapping depth of field. You then take the images and...

I haven't really tried much macro with the D3400, but my experience with other cameras leads me to believe that using AF with a static subject like mushrooms is doable. The main issue, IMO, is it may difficult to get focus where you want it. You can use a single point focus mode and move that...

As BF Hammer said, it is basically a focusing aid. It's much easier to see if an area is in focus when it is magnified. As you discovered, It doesn't change the magnification of the final image, only what you see on the backscreen. Another thing I frequently do is to look at the image after...

I would recommend that once you compose, use the magnification button on the left side of the backscreen to enlarge the image. It's the button with a magnifying glass symbol and a + sign in the middle. Be aware that there will be a delay on shutter release when using LV on the D3400. I believe...

Not sure. I rarely tracked people.

Some great images.

You can have my Z8 when you pry it from my cold dead hands! ;)

A little slow on the longer end of the zoom.

Here are a few more.

I've been through several of the Z bodies, so here's my take on the ones I have experience with. The Z5 is a great entry level full frame. It is inexpensive (relatively) and is a solid performer. AF is lacking for moving wildlife. The Z5ii is probably much better at AF with the Expeed 7...

The Pup and I went to the zoo yesterday. Here are a few:

Camera found in woods. Looking for owner. This was the last image in the camera. You paid HOW MUCH for a camera lens?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I guess it's time to switch to a new year's thread. Unfortunately, things were a little slow at Magnolia yesterday. Early morning was very low light, and the critters were not as cooperative as I'd have liked. "Mama said there'll be says like this. There'll be days like this, Mama said." This...

Wow. Those eagle shots make mine look like a kid with an Instamatic. Not that there's anything wrong with being a kid with an Instamatic.

So, which Z camera are you going with?

Mirrorless is the direction that almost all manufacturers have turned to. Nikon no longer develops new DSLR cameras or lenses. If you are looking at a crop frame Z mount, I would highly recommend getting the new Z50ii over the Z50. My daughter has one, and I am surprised by it's features and...
