The Raw images do get cropped when set to DX mode. Expect to lose fine details doing this. By only utilizing the center pixels of the sensor, you drop back to 2008-level sensor resolution. There is no "have your cake and eat it too" scenario. On technical merits, this all works. You will have...

You did confirm the lens is what failed by testing on another camera. Now inspect the AI pins on the lens. Do they look damaged or perhaps got some dirt over them? Otherwise you may be looking at internal electronics failure. I have the same lens so I feel a tiny amount of the pain here. I want...

Really you have opportunity to rise early on August 10th through the 13th and do this, but Jupiter and Venus will be at their closest on the 11th and 12th. Looking with Stellarium, I see the best time to take photos from 4:15 to 4:45am. Kind of low in the east sky, but then the sunrise ruins it...

During the month of July I have been trying to expose 2 rolls of 20-year-old B/W film I came to possess. Nearly done with that. Today near end of work, I decided to find out if I am smarter than the boss' dog. He is afraid of my camera. Runs away to hide as soon as he sees it. Today I set a...

One of the earliest tips I read about WB was to use Daylight preset for golden hour photos. The golden then actually looks golden.

Reading the text, it seems the trigger is not being triggered by the camera. Many possibilities on why. To try and narrow the possibilities, try that trigger on the hotshoe cable instead of directly on the camera shoe. If that works, it could be as simple as the trigger not fitting against the...

The technical answer is yes, the lens can be attached to the camera and you can take photos. But it is a compromise in so many ways. The easy rule of thumb with FX and DX formats (Full frame compared to APS-C frame) is that the lenses are the same mount. But they project a different size image...

All the edits here are fine. I just will throw in the portrait edit for possible consideration. It does loose some of the stem context.

Version 3.0.1 has rolled-out with an attempt to fix 3rd party lens compatibility. May want to stand by and see how well that fix is working for other people.

@Clovishound thanks for looking up the VR spec, I could not remember. And I would say Nikon is not slowly removing DSLR from their lineup. They have already struck them as current products on the Japan website. All the D-series bodies are in their legacy section today. Just a matter of moving...

A few thoughts. As I read your story I really hear a lot of desire for zooming in to long telephoto focal length. I do not detect any concern for shooting a wider focal for things like group photos or a landscape. I am guessing that is not the case and you are taking that ability for granted...

Out of context, your message headline sounds so violent. :D

About $94.99 more than my photo software budget allows for. ;)

While I agree with shooting Raw and tweeking the color layer, I tried to answer the OP's question in a direct manner. I have to disagree with the people complaining about Picture Control being difficult to use. Rolling a custom color profile all by yourself with the software is the hard part...

We have to start with "is the lens cap still on?" Sorry, but never overlook the obvious. Something stuck to the front of the lens? I don't want to immediately jump to a failure of the sensor.

I can almost see this as one of those 1960s beer advertisement pictures you saw hanging in a bar with the simulated flowing water on the waterfall. 🙂

It is the Nikon DK-20 eyecup and aftermarket versions are cheap and plentiful on Amazon and other sources. There are some alternate eyecups also available out there that fit on the viewfinder and shade the eye better. But at the cost of sticking out the back more.

I have not been a user of Fuji and I only have the 1st generation Z5. The Nikon terminology is Picture Controls for the color profiles. With the default setup, the Picture Controls are available after pressing the "i" button and selecting in the menu that appears. You can preload profiles on...

15 years ago for a D80 and later D7000 I used a Tamron 18-270mm VC PZD. It gave acceptable photos. These "superzoom" type lenses tend to show barrel and pincushion distortions at the extremes of both ends of the zoom range. And it is typical to have a lot of focus-creep. As in the field of view...
