    Why isn't my signature...

    @Chayelle, Sorry, my last comment was just goofing around, because I don't know what else to tell you to do. Didn't mean to confuse, just being a little frivolous trying to add a little humor to a weird problem. Again sorry for any confusion. I am really at a loss as to why you can't get it to...

    Marcel, is this your cat?

    @Marcel the full version of Capture NX D is free and has been since July 15. I know, I downloaded it after having Beta. It doesn't look like Nikon is going to charge for it (for now anyway. Ha!) If I can find the reference again, I will post it.

    Another Noob question -- mirror lock

    In a few places, I have read to prevent camera movement for long shutter speeds ie for smoothing out water to lock the mirror up. This is to avoid any movement of the camera by the mirror moving. Is this process the same mirror lock function as is used for cleaning in the menu? Or is there...
