[QUOTE="hark, post: 516954, member: 13196"] I appreciated knowing this, Jake, so thank you. Had I not known about it today, I would have thought something was wrong with my D750. This afternoon I took photos in my church's Sanctuary. I've learned the best shots for what I wanted to take are when the tripod is elevated so I placed a chair under each tripod leg and extended the tripod as high as it would go. Then I climbed on a stool. The camera was a little too high to see through the viewfinder so I switched to Live View while using my Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8. I ran into another problem though. There was a delay before the shutter would fire. I was required to hold down the shutter button for a few seconds before it would work. When I switched to my Nikon 18-35mmG, it took less than half the time for the shutter to fire while using Live View. To overcome the focus problem, I set my focus point while in Live View then turned off Live View. I partially pressed the shutter to activate the AF. Then I switched back to Live View for the shot. I even changed to manual focus at one point when the shutter wouldn't fire. In any case, thanks again for the info. :) [/QUOTE]
