I have smokey haze in the sky that gets even heavier looking north. Last night I could not see any stars and shaping up to be more of that in Wisconsin tonight.

This actually is old news by now, but we are in the midst of a solar storm since Thursday. The forecasts are for another strong chance of aurora tonight (June 1) and possible the next night also. I have seen many photos come out of New Zealand and Australia from last night, and Thursday night...

And the ordinary ones too! :ROFLMAO:

I am taking a minute so your job is not entirely thankless. :) (y)

You covered the obvious and some less-obvious trouble points. I do have that lens, the FTZ-II adapter but a Z5 body, which is a little bit newer than the Z6. Clearly abnormal behavior. You do have a focus button on the back. I am not saying you should switch to the back-button focus method...

What I downloaded to my PC to view had a .jpeg extension, so Dropbox must be converting and adding the compression. VR is an electro-mechanical thing, so anything mechanical can fail. I have not personally experienced this. It's just that from a distance like I am, there is no further way to...

First of all, your post-processing is stripping off the EXIF information. I do not see any of your camera settings, and also important I do not see the focus point used. The photo is also heavily compressed so that hurts seeing what is sharp and what is not. So with that, I pixel-peeped the...

Two different lenses with the same failure on the same camera body? Have you looked at the lens AI pins on the body yet? Can you get access to another body to test the lens on?

That does dock, but the latest Nikon version firmware is very old now, before Z-series. The Canon mount versions have had several firmware updates. Apparently more trouble with those.

IBIS makes no audible sound in my Z5. I think your camera may be broken.

There is new firmware issued this week. Judging it can prevent a specific error condition, could be worth updating. https://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/559.html

Might be a supernumerary rainbow according to Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow#Supernumerary_rainbows

Working with the infrared D600 the past couple of days.

Can you check if Exposure Delay Mode is active? This opens the mirror and adds a 1 or more second delay before opening the shutter. It is supposed to help reduce vibration from the mirror slapping open when using telephoto lenses on a tripod. Item d4 on the Custom Setting Menu...

It's the most Australian thing I have viewed until somebody captures Hugh Jackman, Mel Gibson, and Russell Crowe wrestling some kangaroos over the last jar of Vegamite to spread on their Hungry Jack Whopper. ;)

Infrared Dandelions

Entry 1: Infrared Leaves.

Former D7000 user here. The 3D tracking is going to work best with f/2.8 lenses and not that great with something in the f/5.6 range in dim light. Having shot a few yo-yo contests inside a mood-lit mall, I just set to AF-C and tried my best. An f/1.8 prime may be your best friend if you are in...

Don't expect a charger packed in with devices that have USB-C connectors. The EU forbids that now, so we also become subjected to their regulation for the convenience of manufacturers trying to be compliant with the e-waste mandates.

Z 600mm f/4? Are you considering just how much use you would get with that 2nd kidney? :D
