[QUOTE="Rick M, post: 317129, member: 4399"] It sounds to me that the subject is too dark. Sorry, I couldn't resist! :) Onto the problem, if you don't understand the "gadget" from Amazon, unplug it and the remote, put them aside. Set the camera to Aperture mode, f7 should do it. Camera on tripod, focus on the moon, both lens and body in manual focus, VR off if you have it. Spot meter mode and role the EV back to about -3. Disable auto ISO and set it for 100 or as low of a number to get over 1/300th. Make sure active D lighting is off also. Use the on-board timer to actuate the shutter. Mess around with the ev compensation until you get a good exposure. Something is in some auto mode, flash, focus, exposure, who knows. Don't get frustrated, there is some reason buried in the menus, you just have to come across it. [/QUOTE]
