    Hello and... (am looking for help about NEF}

    Another non-Nikon solution (maybe). https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nctdw2w1bh8?hl=en-us&gl=US It also appears that if you might install something like RawTherapee on you computer for editing, the open-source RawLib extension is installed with that. So that may also make things work.

    Hello and... (am looking for help about NEF}

    Assuming you are viewing with a Windows PC here. Nikon Rumors reported in April about the NEF codec is no longer available to download at Nikon. https://nikonrumors.com/2025/04/08/it-seems-that-nikon-no-longer-offer-nef-nrw-codec-download-option-on-their-website.aspx/ Reddit has a thread about...

    Zoom detail fell short

    @Clovishound I read it with xlFr in Firefox. I'm also running Exify for the hover-view of basic exif info. But I think I see where you are going wrong. First click on his image attachment to view the pop-up full screen image. Then right-click and view exif.

    D750 Remote ML-L3 can't set to 'On'

    The Nikon ML-L3 uses CR-2025 cell in a slide-out holder. I would guess the imitators would try to copy that. I believe the IR sensor of the D750 is not as good as other cameras. I originally bought my remote for a D80, and have also used sparingly for a D7000, D750. I never liked that IR remote...

    The same harbor in Kenosha, WI as the other lighthouse I photographed. The "historic" lighthouse and lightkeeper's home now preserved as a museum.

    NX Studio JPG Processing

    DigiKam makes a good compliment to RawTherapee for importing and organizing image files. It can also do some simple image adjustments. Organization is not something that is easily done in RawTherapee, which is something I would ask developers to add in as extra features...

    RawTherapee will process jpg, tif, as well as Raw.

    200mm f/4 lens focusing distance and blurry image at 1:1 magnification ratio

    Here is an example of manipulating Depth Of Field with your f-stop. At f/2.8 with a 90mm lens first. And shrinking the Aperture to f/16 and rotating the subject for a flatter plane to the camera sensor. The physics of the lenses means that my 90mm lens in the example will give a wider DOF...

    200mm f/4 lens focusing distance and blurry image at 1:1 magnification ratio

    You write in a lot of detail in your question, but we are missing some information still. A sample of one of your photos will help so we can see the exif data and understand your exposure settings. At 1:1 distance for a macro lens, your focal plane can be quite narrow. That means your gem in 3D...

    Turning e-waste into a digital photo frame

    Some updates on the project. The old tablet with Android 4.1 required to have Fotoo side-loaded after I downloaded a many versions from many sites until I found 1 that worked. Discovered it was the premium (paid) version that was installed. It does work perfectly, but cannot log in to Google at...

    Legacy project for my brother Tim

    I reconfirmed this, no diopter adjuster. No DOF preview available either. You either trust the autofocus or make sure your eyeglasses prescription is up to date.

    Zoom detail fell short

    @Clovishound I do see exif on the image. 1/500s at f/7.1 (135mm). If a tripod was used, VR should be turned off. Focus might be off. Shutter speed by all recommendations at 135mm is fine. But I will add that I never have had an exceptionally good example of a 70-300mm lens. There are many...

    Zoom detail fell short

    Bright white bird against dark background. The crane is overexposed and that is where the detail is mostly lost. This is where we would use spot-metering rather than matrix-metering. Even then you likely would be darkening the exposure. Shooting raw to get the extra dynamic range to recover, I...

    Tripod and Adapter Advice?

    As I searched tripods for you, this one popped up kind of unexpectedly. It looks very suspiciously like the Three-Legged-Thing Billy tripod. I am linking to a version that includes a cellphone mount. It looks like it is just heavy-duty enough to support a D4S and a lens that is not too large...

    This is along the Ice Age Trail on a segment near Cross Plains, WI. Shot some photos after lunch here on the way out to a job. Then on return later in the afternoon I stopped again to switch lenses and also use the later afternoon light.
