Until recently, and just once, my D780 totally locked up. I couldn't even turn it off, the only solution was to pull the battery out and re-insert. Last month I was using the camera a lot on a trip and it happened a couple of time, so I googled it and found a post saying that if you put the...

Hi I have a DF in the post on it's way to me from Japan. Are there any particular SD card that I should buy, or avoid, for this camera? I guess given that it only has one, I want the most reliable one possible. thanks

Hi I recently sold my mint D750, and, because I could buy a new camera for business purposes, I bought a D780 and it basically hardly cost me more than what I got for the D750. I bought the D780 because I have quite a few AF-D lenses, and I like them, and the D780 squeezes as much as is...

Hi My daughter has a D700. I already had to replace the card slot board because she snapped a pin in the card slot putting the card in and out, so I told her to just use a USB cable to copy her photos and leave the memory card alone. The USB cable works fine in Windows, but, I can't get it to...

Hi I just got a D780 and there are some things I don't understand. 1. AF-ON button. In the online manual it describes that the AF-ON button can be reassigned, and I notice that the default customisation is as "AF-ON". What does this actually mean? I set it to AE/AF lock and got that working...

I'm still annoyed that Nikon hasn't made an FTZ with a focus motor to drive the screw drive on AF/AF-D lenses. It's one of the road blocks that's stopping me going from an F mount body to a Z mount. I found out yesterday that there is a Megadap adapter (MTZ11) that converts Leica M to Z, and it...

Hi. I bought my D750 with the 24-120 f4 about four years ago, and I really enjoy it. Prior to that I had a D3100 with the 18-55 kit which I then passed down to my daughter. She now has a D700 so the 3100 is surplus to requirements. I also have Sony Nex-6 with the tiny PZ 16-50 which I bought...

Hi I bought a Yongnuo YN622N kit and I am struggling a bit with it. I have a Nikon D750 and SB-700 speedlight. Problem 1. it says in the instructions that to go from manual to TTL I need to long press the GP/mode button on the transceiver and set it to orange for manual or green for TTL. I...

There is something that I don't understand. On a DSLR a small proportion of light (if I understand correctly) goes through the mirror and hits a second mirror that points the image down to an AF sensor. This AF sensor detects whether light is in phase in specific focus points, or not, and if not...

I took some indoor headshot portraits with my kit 24-120 f4 and was a little underwhelmed, and was also watching the "Angry Photographer" https://www.youtube.com/user/kathodosdotcom and he is always raving about the 180 f/2.8. Okay he raves about lots of things but the 180mm is cheap and seems...

Sometimes a Nikon D750 is just too big, like maybe if you are going to a social gathering of some kind. So today I picked up a Sony NEX-6 with the tiny Power Zoom 16-50 for £228 with six month warranty from a camera shop. It was a bit more than I wanted to pay but you don't get to pick up and...

I just upgraded from a D3100 to a D750 (about four weeks ago). The D3100 rarely came out of Auto mode, but now my daughter is doing wonderful things with it so I got to upgrade. One of the things I saw in Tony Northrup's wonderful tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmT4wVNTTjE) was Back...

I bought a 70-300 AF-S VR on ebay a few days ago and today it arrived. It was described by the seller as "Used - but in excellent condition." which is one of the reasons I bought this particular one. I just tried is on my brand new D750 (which works perfectly with my 24-120 F4) and when I try to...

I have my D750 and some lenses, and I have a Sony DSC-HX20V for when I'm out and about and not planning to take photos but it's small enough to carry anyway. I notice that one can get Nikon 1 J3 with 10-30mm now for about £120 on ebay. It seems like a lot of small camera for very little money...

First trip out with my new D750. We went to Whipsnade for the day. Some shots are taken with the kit 24-120mm and others with an old plastic mount 70-300mm f/4-5.6 G lens that originally came with my F55 film camera. I also took some nice head shots of my daughter but she doesn't want me to...

I bought my D750 a couple of weeks ago, and a pair of fast 128Gb SD cards. For the first time I started to mess with raw NEF format. I followed the advice to save to both cars in NEF+JPEG(Fine). Last Sunday we went to Whipsnade zoo and had a play, and that evening had a look at the results. I...

Hello I bought a D750 with 24-120 f/4 a couple of weeks ago. I have been trying to post some photos from my Flickr account but so far the site isn't letting me. Maybe after a few posts....
