I can tell you about the SB-400. There is no display or controls on it. Just an on/off switch and the strobe rotates up in 1 axis only for bouncing off the ceiling. It does not work in the Nikon CLS as either commander or remote devices. It is a flash for around a home to be used in iTTL mode. A...

The circuit board of the hotshoe is broken and the ribbon cable looks ripped in camera body. Assuming you just glue the broken plastic together you would be replacing those. You can buy an entire D5100 possibly for less $$$. Consider this camera as a parts donor. Edit: now that I can see the...

Low-key at it's most basic is an under-exposed image. So auto exposure modes should be off. That includes auto-ISO. I would begin with a fixed ISO and aperture you want for control of depth of field. Then dial in your exposure with shutter speed. If using strobes, then shutter is also going to...

My PC a year or more ago stopped finding my SD card readers. I have 3 different readers and they stopped working 1 at a time over a few weeks. I wish I wrote down what I did to fix, but it was in the Windows 11 settings somewhere. Has not been a thing since. It took me several days to find the...

Try cleaning with Q-tips soaked in white vinegar. It's a mild acid that will react with the residue. Water soaked Q-tips after to help neutralize the chemicals. That flash will only be useful in manual power settings. Your D7000 is iTTL which means SB-28 or newer. Film TTL on the SB-26 will...

You may have to provide a link to such a product that will interface to a D3400, or I would say it does not exist. I searched for the OP. There are many intervalometers for Nikon cameras, but they require the connector for a wired remote shutter release cable on the camera. The D3400 does not...

Think of this less a thing for helping an amateur and more for helping an independent repair shop. In the USA (and I assume worldwide) manufacturers have been making it impossible for any repairs except by their own factory-authorized facilities. This has been locking-out competition from...

Nice! Congrats Clovis.

There were great photos this month. I bet I never work so hard to produce 1 photo again. ;)

I checked the mirror again, I see myself. I'm a little afraid to try touching holy water.

It happened to me again today. It happens a lot. Automatic sink faucets and towel dispensers rarely are able to see me. I just spent a minute trying to wave my hands frantically under 2 different restroom faucets to get water to flow. Then I could not get a paper towel to dispense at 2...

I kept all the flashes. If I get rid of any, 3 months later I will finally want to do a multi-flash setup with radio triggers. If I keep them, I will know it is an option then never do it. :) I've tried to think of projects for using the SC-17 cord as off-camera light, but I just keep coming...

I revisited the N70 film door problem this past weekend. Thankfully this time I was too lazy to throw out anything after I put this camera down last summer. A small piece of plastic for the door latch that had broken off was lodged in tight to the door seal. That is what blocked the door from...

Silly goose.

#2 is with a sampled white balance instead of the flash preset. Z5, SB-600 bounced flash, Z24-70mm f/4 @42mm, S-mode, 1/200, f/4, ISO 200

I have clear skies, but I'm working long hours and very tirrrreeed at night. :sleep:

I personally am suspecting the prism screen is loose. I don't believe you would see through the lens if the mirror did not fully drop down. I like the plan to upgrade to a D5600 best of the options. +$50 over a D5300 replacement is a no-brainer for that kind of upgrade in kit. That repair...

I don't know. Either this is a feature and setting added by new firmware, or I might expect this if you are using a saved U1-3 custom setup.

I had to build my subject first. My future CPAP stand to replace a rickety cardboard box. Z5, SB-600 bounced flash, Z24-70mm f/4 @42mm, S-mode, 1/200, f/4, ISO 200
