Z9 Metering Settings Menu items

Posted by tom_sweet in Nikon Z9 Discussion, Tom Sweet, 01 March 2023 · 128 views

As I continue to explore the Z9 menus, I pulled up the Metering sections of the Shooting Menu Banks and the Custom Settings Banks to look for associations and links between the two sets of banks. I am including a spreadsheet (work in progress) here. There is less dependency when in the Metering area than there was in the Focus area. You'll see many of the...

Using the colour wheel to select filters for black and white

Posted by Merco_61 in My musings on technique and sometimes technology, 09 August 2022 · 827 views

Filters are subtractive, so they lighten their own colour and darken the reciprocal. To guesstimate the effect of a filter, you can look at the colour wheel and a sector of about 60˚ either side of the main colours for the filter will get the most pronounced effect.
This means that a red filter will lighten colours that span between magenta and yellow and...

Goodbye Nikon… again

Posted by Dogbytes in Dogbytes' Blog, 05 May 2021 · 1,775 views

I’ve had a a few Nikon outfits over the years, I’ve never really loved their cameras but they always get the job done and there are loads of good second-hand lenses to be had at reasonable prices.
My current outfit comprises a D850, 70-200mm F2.8E FL and 58m f1.4G. It is, without doubt, the best camera outfit I’ve ever had. The D850 is still a worthy cont...

Aperture priority metering with classic third party lens systems.

Posted by canoecaper in Metering a heritage Third Party lens., 06 March 2021 · 22,763 views

Greets.

Most of us know, the finest camera lenses ever made, were Zeiss (based, generally on Scott glass), Leitz for Leica and Novoflex and the Dr. Makutso designed range mirror lenses from the Soviet Union, all made from the '60s to the '80s.
All of these are full manual, generally used wide open and naturally with mirror lenses, the aperture is fixed....

I'm new to this forum and not sure how it works. I'm looking for some advice with my D 50. I purchased it used a few years ago and it has worked great up until recently.

D5300 GPS NML_28A.ee file

Posted by pedro in pedro's Blog, 23 May 2020 · 972 views
d5300, gps, nml_28a.ee, update

Does anyone know if Nikon has stopped supporting GPS in the D5300 using a NML_28A.ee file? Nikon support states sorry, they don't have a current one and can't tell me if there'll be another. Without that GPS is not accurate.
or
Does anyone know of another way to get GPS functional on D5300 without having to replace that file every 2 weeks.

D750 Err or fEE Error Messages

Posted by wildwilli in wildwilli's Blog, 06 April 2020 · 1,155 views

Just wondering how many folks out there with D750's get these Err or fEE error messages. What if any fixed it or did you have to send it in. I've seen quite a few of them but where I work we have over 650 D750's so it's hard to figure out if this is an inherent problem or if the Students are just too hard on the gear.

Posted by Devinjames123 in Devinjames123's Blog, 02 April 2020 · 1,051 views

Please Help.

I've had my greatest camera I've ever owned in my life, a Nikon d5600 bought for me 2-3 years ago as a birthday gift. It came from online. And I was using it for about a year or so, when it just stopped working altogether. Just randomly stopped working. No drops, spills, cracks, NOTHING. Also, a green light blinks twice and then stops. I tr...

d850 connectivity issue

Posted by bbarringer in bbarringer's Blog, 02 March 2020 · 892 views

I have been shooting via Capture One, but recently my 850 is not being read by my computer or software on two different Macs. Has anybody ever had similar issues with their cameras? Do we think its a camera port issue, tether issue, usb computer port issue?

Posted by Kellym in Kellym's Blog, 12 May 2019 · 1,397 views

Sooo ... am going to Africa this summer for the Great Migration, and then trekking with the mountain gorillas. Bringing two bodies (D700 & D750 - almost considering bringing along my old film FM for true B&W). My question: which lenses?
