    Menu Setting Help for my D7200 paired with the updated 80-400VR

    The G menu is for movie mode. No idea, but won't affect your stills. F4, either leave it as is or if you want to use back button focus (bbf), set it to af-on. If you set it to af-on for bbf, also turn A4 OFF to disable focus with the shutter button. Use bbf with af-c. Just ask if you want more...

    Post your latest purchases.

    @mikew made me buy this Sigma 105 macro. I have a perfectly good Tamron 60mm and I was trying hard to not think about wanting a longer one but he had to go and post about the sale going on now.

    Stupid ads. Anyone else getting this?

    The ad went away for a few minutes and then it came back. I screen shot my regular banner ad and the the troublesome floating ad. This is my usual type of ad I see here. It scrolls off the screen as I read and not a problem. This is the problem ad today. It floats and blocks my view and you...

    Using onboard flash as commander for sb800

    Ok, now I am going to complicate it, lol. Nikon makes this thing: Nikon SG-3IR IR Panel for Built-In Flash 4905 B&H Photo Video I never really though about it real hard, but now I'm not sure why this thing is needed if all preflash is before the shutter. Maybe subject distraction? But reading...

    What is this and why is it happening?

    I took the liberty to overexpose this. It sure looks like a major structure and not a camera part.

    My posts are being moderated

    Me too. I've posted 'good deals' in the Deals! forum and they fall into moderation for many hours. I don't care for this protection because sometimes I'll want to share deals that only last a day or a few hours. Amazon has some great price dips and lightning deals, but they disappear very...

    EV Compensation -- I should know... but

    @cwgrizz I agree your -1.3 looks the best. I don't think we can put a good rule on this. It comes down to do you want more or less exposure than what your meter says. @gustafson Think of the +/- compensation as an offset to your camera's meter. Plus compensation makes your meter need more light...

    The "Blood Moon"

    Lots of clouds, but luckily, lots of openings too right up until nearly peak. Then it completely clouded over. This was one of the first few actual uses of my sigma 150-600, so low on experience with that. I'm low on moon experience too. I was totally surprised when the moon got dark. I thought...

    Sigma 150-600??????

    OK guys, please steer me into a 150-600mm for my d7100. I know there are a number of Tamron owners here. Not as many Sigma owners. Pretty sure 10 Gauge has the Sigma and @Felisek too, I can't remember who else. I spent half the night reading posts here last night, but I'm looking for some...

    what went wrong?

    To the OP. Like the others said, try spot metering and try to get closer or zoom in more. As also mentioned, flash is something to play with too. On-board might be a little weak for the job, but if you have something more powerful, you can have some fun. I probably have a hundred shots invested...

    Lightroom Prints from Nations. How to?

    Thanks, calibration is another thing on my list to learn. I'm only using a laptop, so it may never truly be calibrated. A small change in hinge angle makes a big change in images. I did go through the Windows calibration. That seemed a little hokey, it was just q&a on how the screen looked...

    Lightroom Prints from Nations. How to?

    Thanks guys! I was over-thinking it as usual. I just uploaded some full size images and went with the flow and it was very straight forward and simple to crop. Even a final screen to check my images and options. I didn't actually order yet, but feeling more ready. @Pretzel , is there an...

    Lightroom Prints from Nations. How to?

    Hi all. I pretty much never make prints. My experience is limited to uploading to Walmart. I want to try Nations Photo Lab. My end of the year goal is to get some nice prints on the walls. Near-term I need some 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10 in a few weeks. Walmart would be fine for this upcoming need, but...

    Popular Photography Subscription $5

    I know it's not the greatest magazine out there, but I like to flip through it every month. I try to find a deal every year and pay less than $10. I noticed today Amazon has a Popular Photography subscription, new or renewal, for $5/year. Not sure how long the price will last, but for $5 I...

    D7100 - Lowering ISO's with built-in flash

    We have all been caught by that unexpected camera behavior. I have come to like auto iso, and have ruined several shots with flash and auto iso. @WayneF typed some good info recently on this: http://nikonites.com/d5300/30518-iso-onboard-flash.html#post450755
