I tend to use center weighted metering for most of my photos including birds. It depends on the scene – I eyeball it and use the +/- button with Aperture Priority and Auto ISO. You did great here, @Needa. Do you know if this is a grackle? They are black with iridescent bodies. Sometimes their...

Continuous will allow multiple images while the shutter is pressed. Most NIkon cameras have a mode dial. At the bottom of the mode dial shows options for shooting. It should be identified as a CL or CH (Continuous Low or Continuous High). Low shoots fewer frames per second than High. I think...

Sorry about that. Take a look now and let me know if you have any issues.

When calibrating a lens, nothing should change how the other lenses work on the same body. The camera body will remember the calibration based on the serial number of the lens. So even if you have 2 identical lenses, the calibration will only be affect the lens you adjusted. Glad to hear the...

Do you mean the image shifts a little compared with the rest? If so, do you have VR turned on? I notice that happens with a couple of my lenses when using VR.

@Silversnapper so sorry. I am fully responsible for the glitch so the buck stops with me. As Marilynne said, we are working behind the scenes to stop spammers. There seem to be some issues – and I didn't foresee the problem with accounts like yours. Thank you for being so gracious! If anyone...

I'm in SE Pennsylvania which is included in the area supposedly visible. This is what the Aurora Pro app lists for my area. Not sure I'll be out there, but you never know. ;)

If you see the spam again, please be sure to report it. A new change was made behind the scenes. Anything that gets through, Marilynne and I will take care of as quickly as possible. Thanks for your help everyone!

@Marilynne and I are doing what we can. I reached out to jdeg asking for help somehow. It's been crazy lately. Thanks for your patience!

I had 2 rotator cuff surgeries and don't have quite the strength to hold long lenses steady. So even if I am using a fast shutter speed such as 1/1600", I still use VR. I've tested it with and without VR. The VR images are superior with sharpness. The only issue I've had with VR (and with more...

@AnotherGeezerwithACamera your file size was way too big being 6000 pixels on the long side. Moving forward, lower your image resolution. Thanks!

Hello and welcome! If I'm not mistaken, your 70-300mm lens is probably f/5.6 at its widest when zoomed out while the Sigma I *think* is f/6.3 That means the Sigma shouldn't focus quite as fast due to being a slightly slower aperture. Not sure if the Sigma can connect to the Sigma dock for...

Let me see if John can help, Roy.

Hi there! You will find lots of helpful information here. Welcome.

Nice to have you here!

My area has experienced some incredibly heavy downpours these past few days. In fact a Code Red Emergency warning came up on my phone around noon. But once the storm passed, the sky turned beautiful. So I wanted to go to a particular farm. However, due to some of the roads being closed...

That one is really unusual. It reads both CF Express type B as well as QXD in the same card slot.

I don't have any firsthand experience with that body, but to add to what @BF Hammer mentioned, what mode are you using? If you are using Quiet mode, most likely there is slower mirror movement to help quiet the mirror's sound. If you are in Quiet Mode, can you switch to a different one? Other...

Congratulations, @Silversnapper – nice capture!
