    EN-EL3e batteries

    My D90 with the MB-D80 fitted and two fully charged (well the charger light isn't blinking) are only showing up as being 97% charged. They are both Nikon batteries and not that old. Is this normal or should I leave them on the charger for longer? Thanks Brian

    Fill flash with built in flash

    This is probably a really stupid question but if I want to use the built in flash as a fill flash, how do I do it? What setting must be made so that it flashes every time and not just in low light? Thanks Brian :confused:

    Distortion control installation problem

    I am trying to install the latest firmware on my D90. I have downloaded the file to my Macbook then started to install the dmg file it gets to the end and a message comes up 'The installation failed, the installer could not install the software because there was no software found to install'. I...

    Cannot get to grips with Function button

    Can someone please help me with the Function button? I have read loads of stuff but cannot get to grips with how to use it. I would mainly like to use it with 'flash off' but it doesn't seem to do anything. Is it possible to use it to change ISO setting? Sorry if this is a little garbled but I...

    Cheap Cokin type filters or screw thread

    I want to get a ND filter for my 18-70mm lens. I cannot afford to get the more expensive makes so am a little unsure as to what to get. I can get a set like this Ex-Pro 6 Square G.ND2 4 8 Filter set 49 - 82mm - for Cokin P-Series holder LF6 | eBay. Or get a single 67mm filter. If I get a single...

    F/N75 lenses?

    I am a little confused by what lenses can be used with my F75. I have various lenses for my D90 but do not want to waste film by putting something on that might not work properly. I read somewhere that my 50mm 1.8D will work and somewhere else that it won't and will cause vignetting. So, I am a...

    Hama Polarizing Filter

    I am going to buy a polarizing filter for my 18-70mm lens. Cost is limiting me so I have narrowed it down to a couple of choices. One is the Tiffen at about £44 ($69) Kood (£34 ($53) or a Hama £41 ($63). I am at a loss as to which one to buy. The Hama one has a little pin on the side, presumably...

    Polarising filter and UV filter?

    Is it a good idea to have a UV AND Polarising filter left on my 18-70mm lens at all times? Thanks Brian

    Zoom/focus barrel loose on 18-55

    I have just bought a used Nikon AF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G DX VR lens. I immediately noticed that there is a lot of wobble in the zoom/focus tube. I contacted the seller (who are very reputable) and they said to return it (they paid) for inspection. On their website I noticed the same lens but in...

    Barrel distortion

    Does anyone know if the D90 can get rid of (or at least reduce) barrel distortion on the Nikkor DX 18-55mm VR lens (the cheapo lens)? I downloaded an update last year but am not sure what lenses it covers. Cheers Brian :confused:

    HB-45 or HB-45 II

    I want a lens hood for my Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens. On ebay there are two different ones for the same lens. One a 'normal' hood and one with cut outs in it. Which is the correct one? Thanks Brian

    D90 or upgrade to D7000

    I have a D90 which is in excellent nick with a shutter count of less than 9000. I only use it for general photo taking and occasional wildlife etc. I was wondering if it is worth upgrading to a D7000. I can get a used one in the UK for about £350 (body only). To be honest, I think it might be a...

    Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II Lens

    I am thinking about getting a Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II Lens. Firstly, is it a good lens, secondly, I am a little confused about whether or not I will get 18-55 on my D90. As it seems to be a 'crop' camera does that mean that the lens is actually 27-82.5? Thanks Brian :cool:

    On/Off switch stiff?

    Should the on/off switch on a Nikon D90 be fairly stiff? It has a shutter count of 8671. Maybe it's me being a wimp. Also, how do I set the face recognition autofocus? Cheers Brian :cool:

    I have also just got a D90

    I have just purchased a used D90 in as new condition with a shutter count of 8671. I will be using my wife's lenses off her D3000 (which everyone seems to hate), the lenses are Nikkor AF-S 18-55 3.5 - 5.6G VR (which came with the D3000) and Nikkor AF-S 55-300 4.5 - 5.6G ED. I am hoping that...
