    New N80

    I just received my second N80 from Amazon (Blue Penn), couldn’t be happier. It’s in perfect condition, just had to get rid of the “sticky”. I liked my first one so much, I just had to get another. Getting back into film has been a lot of fun. I just wish I hadn’t gotten rid of my FM, FE2, EM, or...

    Dirty monitor

    How many people enable the “touch screen” capability on their cameras? I’ve resisted it, because I don’t care for them; they may be faster, but after much use they turn into a greasy mess.

    HDR or D lighting?

    A real rookie question here, what would be the determining factor in whether to utilize HDR as opposed to D lighting? I mean what situation favors the use of one over the other, they seem to be quite similar, a means to deal with high contrast situations.

    Back button focus?

    After figuring how to set up back-button focus on a couple of digital cameras, I got curious about doing it on my N80. No soap, you can use the custom shooting options to LOCK focus (CSM 11), but you can’t initiate focus with the AE-L/AF-L button. Anyone have any input? 2/22 I figured it out...

    In setting up back button focus on my D5600, in custom features set-up menu I have set F2 to AF-ON, and focus mode to C. My question is about A1 in the custom features menu which is AF-C priority selection, BBF seems to work with either option selected. Am I missing something? I also set C1 to...

    Adjusting fstop in manual mode and live view.

    On my D5600 in M mode in live view I can’t adjust the f-stop. It works fine when using the viewfinder. This works as expected on my D3300. It doesn’t work on the D5600 using touchscreen either. Any input would be appreciated.

    D3300 and WU1 wireless adapter

    When using the D3300 with the WU1 wireless adapter you must set the “wireless connections” in the setup menu to “on”. When not in use and the adapter removed, will there be battery drain if this option is not turned off. I’ve read that this option is a battery hog but don’t know if this means...
