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...

I just bought a 105mm DC F/2 AF-D lens on ebay. On my nikon Df I have to max the AF fine tuning all the way to +20 to get it to focus properly whilst on my D780 it's about +15. Is this a fault of the lens? As it's a purely mechanical focusing system I don't see how the lens can have much to do...

I went for a walk in the woods yesterday (woods in Sophia Antipolis area). I cropped this one slightly just to centralise the bright circle, but I'm undecided whether a tighter crop is better, or not:- DSC_9142c by dieselnutjob, on Flickr I'm quite pleased with the accidental intrusion of two...

Sorry I don't. I've never been there.

A day out with a new (to me) Nikon Df:- DSC_8964 by dieselnutjob, on Flickr DSC_8973 by dieselnutjob, on Flickr DSC_8976 by dieselnutjob, on Flickr DSC_9010 by dieselnutjob, on Flickr DSC_9107 by dieselnutjob, on Flickr

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

I bought one. There was one on Facebook market place for £500, but, I have come to the conclusion (in my opinion) that it's probably a scam. The seller says that the camera is in London, but lives in Manchester and works for (I think) a Korean employer, and won't answer Facebook messages. I...

my daughter says it's more "old fashioned" looking, which is what she wants

that really is a lot of money isn't it? why are they so expensive?

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...

I think that gtkam would probably work as well. The fundamental point seems to be that on a Linux system that ptp mode has to be used instead of mass storage mode. This won't work (as far as I know) "out of the box" because it doesn't just pop up as a drive, but instead needs software to be...

I installed a debian package called "rapid-photo-downloader" and that works. There are probably other ways to do it.

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...

I just gave it a try. Setting the AF-ON button to AF-ON (the default) seems to cause the focusing system to operator constantly as if the shutter is half pressed, so keeping it pressed and then pressing the shutter button makes no difference because it's already continuously focusing. Setting...

Wow, what a fantastic response, thank you! So concerning the AF-ON button, it says if AF-ON only is selected.... so, does that mean that if AF-ON only is not selected, then the button does nothing?

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...
