    Solved: D810 Tethered Shooting and Dell PC problem

    Thanks Needa. apart from two other Windows machines having no problem with the camera, the most frustrating aspect of this is that this PC in question acknowledges the camera with a 'ding' when it's switched on- as the Dell tech confirmed - but then just ignores it! <grrrr>.

    Solved: D810 Tethered Shooting and Dell PC problem

    The last remaining solution I can think of is to do what used to be called a "Repair Install" This copies all the latest Windows files over the top of the existing files - in essence replacing them - without touching any of your programs or data. However, I've still got a few months of my Dell...

    Solved: D810 Tethered Shooting and Dell PC problem

    Not a peep out of Dell! :mad: When I'm feeling a bit masochistic, I go through all the advice I have read and received but still the problem persists. I've reloaded more drivers than you can shake a stick at, but now I think it's time to accept that it is just one of (computer) life's little...

    I'm not sure what I am looking at here, a home weather station perhaps? It, and its mono brother, are nice images of whatever it is. :unsure:

    Solved: D810 Tethered Shooting and Dell PC problem

    I have been happily shooting my D810 tethered to my laptop until today when I decided to use my Dell computer instead - and how quickly things can go awry. When I plug the 810 into my desktop computer, it 'dings' to acknowledge connection however, the camera is not visible in File Explorer and...

    Silversnapper's Happy Snaps

    Another test as I get used to my new kit. Using the Sigma 105mm macro lens, this is an 8 shot stack of my late wife's rings.

    Silversnapper's Happy Snaps

    I am still getting used to the camera Needa and as this lens was already fitted and as the camera was already on the tripod, I thought 'why not?' It was a good test for both and I'm very pleased with the outcome. I love the Sigma 105 macro lens and I still use it a lot on other makes of camera...

    Advice on suitable lens

    Thanks. I'm enjoying using the software, however, I am having a bit of bother trying to 'switch off' the PS menu structure in my head and absorb the Affinity one, which can be very frustrating as there isn't room for both these days, but I will persist.

    Advice on suitable lens

    After some ‘wheelin’ an dealin’, horse-trading, stock clearance and assorted other fund raising measures, I am happy to report that a Nikon D810, a Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm f/4G ED VR and a Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro have all found a new home with me. Unfortunately it has all arrived at a...

    Advice on suitable lens

    The AF-S NIKKOR 24-120MM 1:4 G ED lens noted by @nikonpup has caught my eye and MPB here in the UK have a range of used lenses, many of which fit my budget, so if my camera acquisition bears fruit then I think I will opt for one of those. Thanks for your advice @Clovishound, I already have a...

    Advice on suitable lens

    Thanks for all this information guys, it's much appreciated. I am unable able to get around much these days so my shooting is limited to opportunistic local area photography and close-up/macro work and as such I cannot justify the cost of top quality lens. From what I have learned here, I'll...

    Advice on suitable lens

    Once again, as I am relatively new to Nikon DSLR cameras, I am seeking advice. If all goes to plan, I should be receiving a ‘new to me’ Nikon D810 body within the next couple of weeks and, for a walk-about lens, I am thinking of something like a 28 – 105 ‘ish auto-focus zoom lens of modest cost...
