    Retrieving photos from unrecognized memory card?

    I have a Nikon D600, and I keep cards in the #1 and #2 slots. My #1 card was in my computer when the computer went to "sleep" and when I turned it back on, I got a message reminding me to eject my card. Now, when I put that card in my computer, it doesn't show up anywhere, and when I put it in...

    What to bring on vacation

    I'm getting ready to leave on my first vacation (to Israel) since I bough my Nikon D600. I have had the camera for a year and a half and I mostly use it for studio-style portraits of my daughter and indoor and outdoor quick shots (family day trips, pictures of my daughter with her toys in the...

    Inconsistent exposures

    Hey everyone! I'm fairly new to digital SLRs, and I've mostly been using mine for indoor portrait shoots of my daughter (now 16mos). I've been getting great results with my indoor shots, but when I took the camera on a family trip to Colonial Williamsburg, it seemed like my exposures were all...

    Compatibility with older lenses

I'm having a hard time figuring out, though, what AI, AI-S and non-AI mean in terms of compatibility with my new D600. I'm ok with manual...

    Adding lights vs. wider aperture lens

    Having a baby and living in an area with terrible weather is forcing my portrait efforts indoors. Despite a house with lots of natural light, my current setup can't keep up with my wiggling baby and I'm getting a lot of motion blur due to the slow shutter speeds. The current setup: Nikon D600...

    Best settings for truly black portrait backdrops

    I'm preparing for my first baby session with my D600 (continuing a monthly photo project with my daughter) and I was hoping for some advice on the best combination of settings and equipment to get truly black-appearing backdrops. With my old Canon "SLR-like" camera I found that either the...

    Retrieve files from buffer?

    Ok, I realize that I am going to sound like a complete moron here and I'm sorry. Early in the morning, before coffee, my 5-month-old suddenly discovered that she could reach her toes and I grabbed my brand-new D600 to capture the moment. I'm upgrading from a combination of a Canon PowerShot S3is...
