Does your options become correct when you leave "Scene" mode and try Aperture Priority mode perhaps?

...you have a Brownie that is not edible.

...if you keep dropping your glass plate negatives and breaking them.

It is something I unexpectedly discovered, but my Z5 will not allow shooting a time-lapse in M mode. You have to use an autoexposure mode. But my D750 will happily do the same time-lapse in M mode. Or just tether the Z5 and problem solved. DigiCamControl has improved slowly over the years. Yes...

They may be tethered to a laptop computer and controlled by software. And "tethered" can be done with WiFi on Z-series cameras. DigiCamControl even overcomes the time-lapse limitations in Nikon Z models that prevent using Manual mode. Nikon NX Tether DigiCamControl - I actually use this for my...

Best for specific macro work might be one of those LED ring lights. But it is kind of a 2-trick pony, if you count the amateurish use for portraits that is so fashionable now. But the cost is often low. Otherwise, you can read whole books about different speedlights, advantages of each, and...

I have bought 3 EN-EL15 batteries from Wasabi over the years and have not been disappointed with them until I bought my Z5. The Z-bodies have a stricter battery check and rejects the aftermarket batteries. That is until I started reading the reviews today and discovered they updated the battery...

Getting really obscure here: Is the camera connected to any device by the USB cable when this problem is happening? Try the obvious and disconnect it. I also believe the camera will still display information with the SD card removed. But maybe remove and reseat it?

Uhh, by definition LiveView raises the mirror and opens the shutter. The optical viewfinder is blocked off and black when that happens. I think all that button you remember about is simply the LiveView on/off. But your mirrorless Z body has the button next to the EVF to switch view between the...

I think a lot of people here just are not reading the original post. He can see through the optical viewfinder and take a photo. So it is not possible to be stuck in a LiveView or something. Try the resets suggested earlier, but it's just broken if that does not resolve things. Off to Nikon...

Not really. At that far telephoto you may barely notice the difference between the framing of 180mm and 200mm. If you watch Chris Niccols' review on Petapixel he "accidentally" keeps wanting to call it a Tamron lens. Because it is not so cleverly rebranded from Tamron. On the plus side, Chris...

It has been a long-needed addition that Sigma and Tamron was serving in F-mount. I will be watching for reviews. But I am still staying with my lens roadmap to buy a 14-24mm wide angle next when finances allow it. My telephotos are less of an issue using the FTG adapter because they are already...

You were doing outdoor activities both times. Possible allergic reaction? Could be worth asking your doc if maybe you could try taking Benadryl right away if you had it happen again.

Clovishound, there are some other possibilities. If the Scene modes are truly important, be aware that Nikon pretty much stopped including the feature with the last DSLR bodies and did not look back with the Z bodies. I still have my D750 and it does have the Scene setting and options on the...

Fred, the paperweights are focused in a specific spot. Rest was intentionally bokeh'ed I guess would be the explanation. 105mm is also a portrait lens so the bokeh is important to check out.

I was intentionally slicing the focus thin with the paperweights. In the laser etched solar system crystal ball I was curious about focus right in the middle. The pyramid focus-peaking had the surface of the blue ball as the plane of focus.

Honestly I cannot see anything like a fedora hat or older generation clothing. All I see is the slightly cartoony smiley face. Rest is jpg compression noise to my eyes.

Z MC 105mm lens has already arrived. That's 3 day service with the free shipping option. FedEx ground was unusually efficient once again. Some test photos in my tabletop photo studio.
