There is another mirror up mode where you press shutter release once to raise the mirror, then must press the shutter release a 2nd time to take the photo. This is supposed to reduce vibration from mirror-slap on long exposures. On my D750 and D7000 it was labeled 'MUP' on the function dial and...

I just didn't have any photo inspiration this past week.

Welcome. I had to look up the specs of the D300, but yeah I won't dismiss the battery as the issue even as you tried 2 different batteries. EN-EL3, same as the D80's I owned years ago. If you are using the original batteries they can be bad by now. If you have bought aftermarket replacements (I...

RAM and storage drives are pre-ordered for and have the factories running at capacity to fulfill the AI data centers being built. This will affect our ability to buy digital electronics for months/years to come. The PC I bought is a refurb. Read that as lease return that has been wiped and...

So I have upgraded my PC and will have to wait about 10-15 days for delivery on that. I just planned for continuing to use the same display, which is a 23-inch 1080P display, a bit wider than 16:9 ratio. Really it is a common HP LCD monitor from 18 years ago with a generic badge. Today also on...

One day later, I still have not bought a lens. But I did just buy a PC. :D A refurbished Lenovo tiny desktop from Woot (a deal of the day site) so I do have to act if the deal is right. And I really do need to update my photo editing PC desperately. The CPU in my 16 year old Asus PC is so...

I finally paid off my car loan 10 days ago, and I have my home equity line of credit down to where I will pay off in days. But I came very close to extending that loan out 2-3 more months. For the holiday weekend, my local camera store was having big promotions and another "Cash 4 Cameras"...

Zf manual says to release the Fn button then press it again to bring up the WB target on display. Then move it to your target (card) or leave it centered. Then OK. Perhaps you need to assign WB to a Fn button to do it this way. Looks to me measuring from a photo (the other way) is easier

The Voigtlander 40mm f/1.2 Nockton keeps distracting my attention lately. I want it, but I have 2 F-mount lenses to upgrade to Z-mount with more urgency.

The sensor is "dual gain". Base ISO is 100, but there is a 2nd point at 800 where the quality improves a bit then gets noisy from there. So if you were to choose 400 or 800, it would be better to shoot 800 against all prior common sense. Next thing to address: does your selected video...

Don't you follow those directions while reviewing a photo you have taken?

Is there a AF/MF switch on the camera body, below the lens release button? (Where the D7xxx bodies have it) Edit: I just looked, not there. But then I noticed you mentioned the camera is in manual-focus mode. So I do not expect the AF to work at all in that condition. When an AF mode is active...

I may never work so hard or long at a photo as I did the lunar eclipse this year, but discovering this mini railroad museum in small-town Wisconsin was just so satisfactory.

At this time I have traded in my D750, Sigma dock, and a Coolpix P4000 that also shared the connector. Cables went with them. Expand your search to include terms like Sigma dock or even Fuji, you will get more results.

Somebody in China decided that some F-mount lenses look too ugly with the FTZ adapter. The part I notice is that the lens release slide might be hard to use. And this kind of rubberized sleeve might be a big dust-magnet.

This eclipse project has been such a learning curve with new software procedures. Convert the .NEFX files to .DNG with the Adobe DNG converter, then I can actually load them into RawTherapee for better work flow. Then relearning some of my image blending techniques in GIMP. Now the result of...

Second try. Used an earlier image of the sunlit section of the moon when it was a little larger, which covers the shadow transition more.

Aug 27: Nearly-full lunar eclipse. I gave the Zf pixel-shift feature a first-time run. Camera takes 32 exposures shifting the sensor to 4 different positions. View-NX then will process them into a single NEFX file. This gives me a 96MP image from a 24MP camera. My vintage 2010 photo editing PC...

Entry #3: Blood-Soaked Moon

I just use these sites for sharing my photos to other people. I archive the photos on network-attached storage once I get around to moving work off my PC hdd. Instagram is a poor fit for me, never signed up for Facebook or other stuff like that. I just like to open a new photo album up each new...
