I feared this was the case. May your soul be at peace Brent. I learned a bit about him trying to track down his email and phone. A retired engineer who worked on designing cruise missiles during his career.

Is this connection by Bluetooth or by WiFi?

You are set at AF-S which will only set focus once at AF-on button activation. You need to be on AF-C (continuous focus adjustment) or AF-A (auto selection of modes). Then the 3D will become an option.

Off the top of my head: 1. Something dangling down in front of the lens. 2. Mirror is not lifting up fully.

Exposure is a triangle. A balance of lens opening (f-stop), shutter speed, and sensitivity to the light (ISO) must be found for good exposure. With the tiny f-22 aperture, the photo needs a lot more light. It either means slower shutter speed or higher ISO, or both. Each setting has...

I only have limited experience with a much older version of your 18-55mm lens, and none with the 18-300mm. But here's a Ken Rockwell review of the 18-300mm. He does not use any scientific method or anything, just shoots with the gear and tells it as he sees it. Here is an excerpt regarding the...

Didn't get out much due to being sick more than half the month. Only a few photos to pick from.

So yes, what you really appear to be complaining about is Depth Of Field (commonly just DOF). Some of the stuff in the photos are in focus, but it is impossible to get it all in focus from that distance at that focal range. This can be pretty easy to get most of the things in focus with a...

By "closeup", what I mean is pointing the lens at an object about a foot away. Nothing is in focus !! And that is exactly the point. You cannot bring that lens that close to your subject. It cannot focus that closely. Unless you assist it with the macro extension tubes. If I can't figure out...

Clovis has this covered, I just will back up what he said. In plain English, all lenses have a minimum focus distance, closer than that and only blurred images. To get closer you can... Use a macro lens that has a much closer minimum focus distance. Most expensive option. Look at Nikon Micro...

Next time I recommend a quality lens from ACME for capturing a Road Runner image!

Setup menu: F9 is where you can assign a custom function to the Record button. But it is all hold button down and turn a dial type functions, so I presume they work by long-press is the custom function, quick press is recording start. Try jabbing the button more quickly? You can also assign the...

Is AF hunting for focus in the dark? Test with manual focus.

CF vs Aluminium: there really is not much difference to report in field use. I have 3 CF tripods and an aluminum monopod. Have used cheap aluminum tripods in decades past. Really I would pay more attention to the head if there is one that comes with it.

I was going to call him Steve. After Col Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar Man!

Here's a link to the album hosted on Nikon Image Space. It appears to finally be working after the updates last week. https://img.gg/w99EFtG

As I recover from flu that had me home-bound this past week, I dove back into my photos. Really, nearly all photos were good that night, but I kind of rushed my processing out of excitement to share. I processed every last shot I took that night and I have them hosted now. Here I wanted to show...

I have a Z105mm and I used to have 2 different Tamron 90mm macro lenses. There is a lot of glass involved with getting a 1:1 macro focal length, so they tend to be heavy. You can drop down to a 60mm or 40mm macro, and there are versions for DX cameras like yours. But there is another issue with...

A couple of weeks after buying my first D80 + 18-135mm lens kit, I managed to drop it directly on to the front of the lens. It was inside of a Lowepro "Toploader" case, so it is properly loaded lens-down. Even though it was lightly padded, the lens did not focus after that. I should have tried...

He is just changing his Tinder profile to single/unattached. :p
