    Long exposure images fading to black over time...

    Hi @PhilD41 and welcome! Is this the only time it has happened? From what I can tell from your screen grab, focus doesn't appear to be an issue and the stars look to be well defined without streaks but 300mm is quite a reach for long exposures. Any anomaly between you and your target will be...

    Backpack or shoulder bag?

    If you have a bestbuy near by, thats where I bought the 30L. I got the 45 & 65 from REI, if you have one of those near by. It does pay off knowing how it fits, especially for such an expense. Though, Adorama, B&H as well as Amazon , (the other sources of procurement) offer 30 day returns...

    Landscape Panoramas

    I vote full 180. The edges help tie the scene together, my eyes travel around the image. I think the cropped in could use a big boat or something unless the clouds are supposed to be the focal point. The clouds look cool, but I think are still better shown in the 180. It seems like there is...

    Backpack or shoulder bag?

    Oh man, @Needa you are opening up pandoras box with this question. Short answer - smallish backpack with good construction and weather protection, skip the sling and no screen protector. Long answer - *takes a deep breath... I have been on the hunt for a perfect carry option for quite some...

    Wedding shooters Nikon 24 - 120 F4?

    Still a good conversation, I find myself in the current predicament. I have been asked to be the photographer at my nephew's wedding. I've never done a wedding before but I have the 24-120 f4 and the 70-200 f2.8 to be used with a Z7ii and Zf. I've been considering buying (or renting) the...

    Got a cat named Butters that likes to see if she can fit her butt in things. It's usually boxes but it turns out, there's more uses for a salad bowl than just salad.

    Nikon D7500 stuck on "Focus mode/AF-area mode" screen. Any help please.

    Have you checked that there are no switches stuck in between positions? There could be some gunk built up under a button preventing any other input from another button press. You could carefully swab some alcohol around the buttons with a qtip, (I'd start with the focus mode button) to try to...

    Sitting here waiting for my new camera to arrive.

    Hey @Clovishound congrats on your new shooter! FYI, you can transfer images from the camera to computer via USB C and skip the card reader altogether. I transfer my daughters volleyball videos this way and its pretty quick. I needed a card reader for my old Z6 to update firmware, it might be...

    Lens Creep?

    I remember that problem with DSLR's, my 24-120 was the worst. I haven't had a lens do this since switching to mirrorless.

    Seeking Advice: Gaming Desktops for Optimal Performance

    Sounds like you want the best of the best, with honors, and luckily, all that takes is a bunch of money. I'm not a gamer but have a need for some of the same hardware for the tasks I use for work and home. You'll want a computer with a SSD boot drive to make it faster, I just use a .5gb but...

    Solved - "Extend lens before taking photos" message

    Good choice and quite the upgrade from your 24-50! You’re correct, there’s nothing to extend before shooting. At its most compact, you’ll be ready to shoot at 28mm, though the lens will extend as you zoom towards 75mm. Doubt you’d ever need to use the 24-50 again. Let us know what you think of...

    Solved - "Extend lens before taking photos" message

    I like the feature. I didnt think I would but after getting used to it, I appreciate its compact design and ease of use, though I've never had a problem like what you're describing. Hopefully, Nikon will get you squared away quickly.

    Solved - "Extend lens before taking photos" message

    Have you upgraded the firmware on both camera body and lens to the latest and greatest? Check the firmware on the camera with the lens attached by going to the wrench, (Setup Menu) and all the way at the bottom is the firmware version. The (C) is camera and (LF) is lens firmware. Compare what...
