[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 302737, member: 12257"] Further adventures: O.M.G. That big beautiful viewfinder in the 1.3x crop mode allows an old guy to NAIL the focus on far away object! Also messed with off-camera flash a bit, and even without digging through manuals, setting up the SB700 in slave mode and getting the D7100 into commander mode is quite intuitive. A couple of moments messing around with the menus and I was firing off test shots. I did mess around with HSS flash as well, but the flash becomes "underpowered" pretty quickly as you ratchet up the shutter speed. I'm sure there are times when a good photographer should use HSS, but those times will have to make themselves evident to me at a later date. Gonna try the "cook me a perfect steak dinner" mode tomorrow, as I'm sure, after all this toying around, the D7100 has that option somewhere... [/QUOTE]
