It sounds rather broken. Time to contact the service center.

I took a new try at Andromeda on December 14, 2023. I have photographed it before, poorly. Camera setup: Z5, Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G VR, FTZ-II adapter. Manual f/2.8, 48sec, ISO 3200, zoomed to 200mm. Mount: SkyWatcher AZ-GTi goto mount with EQ-mode firmware and upgrades. Artcise AS90C tripod...

I regret not seeing this sooner. I agree, stacking images of the moon makes a huge difference.

One more before year-end. I'm guessing this will be the final entry unless I see a snowy owl or something in the next 2 weeks. Andromeda Galaxy from 12-14-2023. Z5, Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G VR lens (200mm). Manual f/2.8, 48 sec, ISO 3200, 72 exposures stacked. Much processing with SiRiL and GIMP.

Turn off the auto switch option to see if the EVF comes back. If the sensor becomes blocked I believe you would get the opposite problem with the screen not working, but who knows?

I see mainly desaturated to b&w with extra contrast. Shooting film they would use a red filter on lens to add more contrast. You can apply a red filter in the post-processing when converting to b&w. Use less diffused lighting, more direct light. Sharpen rather than soften details like what is...

We are thinking a little bit alike. I am going to keep the Zeiss 15mm. I am hard-set on my next lens being a Z14-24mm f/2.8 as that is a real hole in my kit. The Tamron 90mm and Sigma 20mm can go at any point currently. The 28-105mm is permanently attached to the IR D600. I want to hold the D750...

I assembled my 2024 calendar. I will take this one time this year to shill for it. https://www.lulu.com/shop/chris-larson/2024-photo-calendar-by-chris-larson/paperback/product-6552zp5.html?q=

Welcome Richard, looking forward to seeing some of your work.

The Snapbridge app by Nikon would normally be how a camera is remotely controlled by a smartphone or tablet. But the D610 is too old to do that trick. The D750 is one of the earlier camera bodies that does work by wifi with Snapbridge. You can do some simple things like change shutter or f-stop...

Food for thought: The lens also has firmware. I don't even know if that lens is compatible with the Sigma Dock to allow a user change of firmware. It could be possible you must have the original lens you lost to work.

I apply the "D750 Standard" profile to my Z5 photos. The colors even look more accurate.

For the body, only a seasonal part time job. But changing to Z-mount glass might require some smuggling on the side.

It is just my speculation, but I think the first FTG has that squared-off bottom because that is exactly where they put the AF servo motor in the D80-D7xxx series DSLR. I suspect they tried it in prototype and had a reason to delete the motor. It may have been an imposed price limit, it may have...

Fair enough. You were complaining to Nikon about something they undoubtedly considered and rejected years ago. I too did think it could have been done. But the signs have been there to read that Nikon wanted to move on from the old screw drive autofocus lenses. This is a question that will...

They do it better with focus peaking. It literally draws a color highlight around the items in focus in the frame. In the middle or out in the corners.

Not only Sony but Canon also upped their lens sharpness game with RF mount.

I too think it could have been implemented if Nikon wanted. Actually the first generation FTZ had that extended squared-off bottom that I strongly suspect contained the autofocus servo motor in prototype stage and was deleted as it was developed. But looking at the prices of things, it appears...

Yeah, at 50mm it would be disappointing. Those kind of images are normally shot at 24mm or wider, and f/2.8 or wider if available. But the secret is that you don't do it with a single exposure. Between the movement of the earth making the stars turn into trails and the need of long time...

Oh, there is stacking done alright. Done behind the scene inside the iphone on the first level.
