    Their eyes are shut!!!

I told him that I don't have that problem and I only take two of each image. He didn't believe me. I had just taken...

    Suggestions for a microphone.

    My D500 does a very good job with the audio when the wind is not involved but when outside it tends to pick up a lot of wind noise. I am looking for suggestions for a external mic that will eliminate wind noise and the sound of the auto focus on the lens.

    A few thoughts on the D500

    I have had several cameras over the last 46 years but I must say that this D500 just blows everything else away that I have ever owned. The keeper rate on this camera is extremely high. In the past two weeks I have taken 256 pictures at my grandson's Lacross game with the camera nailing all but...

    D500 has a 1.3 crop factor in the menu

    I discovered today on the D500 that if you go to the "Photo shooting menu" and then go down to "Choose image area" at the bottom of the first page you can change your camera to a 1.3 crop factor effectively giving your 600mm lens the field of view of a 1170mm lens on a full frame.
