What exposure mode are you using?

As an alternative, you can get a card reader that has a USB-C connection, or whatever connector your tablet has. You can put the card in the reader and plug it into your tablet and read directly from the card. I have tried this using both with SD and CF Express cards. I picked up a CF Express...

I am planning on going back before the warbler breeding season is over. I'll try and pick a bright day. It wasn't too bad today, but we did have more overcast than sun. I think I'll bring my tripod to help keep me on target while I'm waiting for the "jump". The nice thing about the warblers is...

Got out to Beidler Forest this morning.

Well, I tried out the pre-release capture on some warblers this morning. Not ideal conditions as there wasn't a lot of light due to a heavy canopy. I really wanted some in flight pictures so thought I'd give it a shot. I set the shutter speed too slow to get sharp images for small birds, trying...

Well, the insect activity in my backyard wildflower plot is slowly increasing. I was lured out by a black and yellow beetle on a deep purple flower, but he took off as soon as I started shooting, and I only got one poorly focused shot. I looked around before giving up and discovered this...

My limited experience with jumping dolphins is that the jump is slow enough to be able to be captured if you are ready to shoot and quick on the shutter. I was lucky enough last year to be on the beach when a pod was fishing offshore and frequently breaching. I switched to my long lens and tried...

One of the unfortunate aspects of the inclusion of electronics in camera equipment is longevity. My dad's old Rollie TLR from the 60s is still going strong, despite having had a large number of rolls run through it. Every electronic dependent film camera I have is currently non functional...

I'm sure a lot of folks felt the same way when film cameras began to disappear. Technology moves on. I was fortunate that very shortly after I got interested again in photography, that I didn't have much invested in equipment. That made the move to mirrorless rather painless. After I got used...

So ugly they are cute.

Went down to Cypress Wetlands in Port Royal SC with the Carolina Nature Photographers Association. Light was a little harsh, but lots of activity. The new Z8 performed very well. Still very pleased with it's tracking.

Nice.

Check for debris in the slot. Otherwise, I would call Customer Support. Unfortunately, if it requires a trip back to the mothership, it would likely be cheaper to pick up a good used camera.

Did you see this? It's not specific to the Z50ii, but Should be applicable to all Z cameras. Nikon Support

It wasn't the tripod foot I was thinking about it was the head.

Played around with it. Still doesn't look that much like me. That's one funky looking monopod.

The first iteration looked like me, but didn't include legs, and was much more rotund than I am. I forgot to smile when the Pup took my picture, and told AI to make me smiling. This looks good, but doesn't look much like me. Apparently it can't spell Nikon either.

Well, the insects are just starting to show up in my small backyard wildflower plot. This was my first try this year at insect photography, and I am rusty at it. It doesn't help that the subjects are few and far between. I normally would have sent this image to the round file, but I'll post it...

Today I finally got around to looking at pre release capture on my new Z8. I tried setting it up on a bird feeder, but the birds didn't cooperate. I noticed a bunch of dragonflies in a field and thought I'd try my luck with them. It worked, although the camera couldn't keep focus lock on such a...
