[QUOTE="Chucktin, post: 654188, member: 44180"] To answer your question - your camera's autofocus may be set to _not_ allow the scene to be recorded if it does not achieve a focus lock. If that's what's happening it's buried in your menu system. Overall I say 1 - take lots of pictures, good exposures, bad whatever. This is to get to where you can pickup the Nikon and shoot without having to reason out every little thing. 2 review the images and try to understand why you are not happy with the results. 3 exposure - used to be film had a measurable sensitivity rating, ASA (if you go back far enough, I do) or ISO. Now we are not working with film but photons and electronics. Digital Cameras have a "base" (weasel word) sensitivity and everything else is an Amplification on that. And, if you amplify an electronic signal you produce "noise", a generally undesireable product. 4 A "good" exposure is what _you_ say it is. 5 Histograms are your friend, learn them, love them, be them. Happy snapping. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
