1. Is there any "skip to last/most recent image" function in playback mode? One thing I find a bit annoying is that when I go back to look at relatively old images, I then have to scroll all the way back just to get back to my most one. It would be great if there were a way around this. 

 

2. An even more minor issue, I know, but for the first time I went over 1,000 images, and I noticed that the playback, the numbers start all over again -- 1 instead of 1,001, etc. Is this normal? Its numbering system resets every 1,000 images?

For 1/ if you are on the last image it brings up the first image next when scrolling forward - and vice-versa when scrolling backward

For 2/ numbering starts again with 001 when the camera creates a new folder. So the folder name has an increasing number

For both 1&2: SD cards are no good solution for long time saving pictures; ie they will break one day or another and all pictures be lost. Therefore copy your pictures to your computer and organize them, so you can easily access them.

*Only* moving the pictures to a computer is not archiving them - this will need yet another step, but depend on your computer/IT infrastructure and workflow.

Thanks, Jerry. Just to clarify about #1, though, right, but what if I've scrolled back and am now NOT on the last image. Let's say, especially as I asked about the 1,000 image mark, I have 1,000 images but scrolled all the way back to 700. My question is, is there any way to then skip to the most recent image (1000), or do I have to scroll through 300 just to get back to it? Hope that makes sense. Thanks again.

Unless I've mis-understood your question, as soon as you press the shutter button, your review button will show the last recorded image.

Both my D3300 & D800E respond in this way. I wouldn't think the D750 behaves differently.

 

Personally, as soon as I have around 100 shots on a card, I dump them on the PC, then format the card.

The only time this doesn't happen is when I'm on holiday.

Ha, that's funny -- I never put that together! Thank you! The reason being, I guess, is that usually when I'm in playback mode reviewing past images it means I'm not actually shooting. But now, knowing that, I'll just take a picture of the floor or whatever just to get back to the most recent image. Hey, whatever works.

If I am not actively shooting, I would move them to your computer for viewing.

Thinking about it, I guess that the reason I like to review images directly on the camera in Playback mode is to review other data about the images other than the images themselves, especially the histogram. There's no way of doing so on a computer, is there?

If you download Nikon’s own raw converter Capture NX-D, you can read the full set of metadata as well as checking which focus point was active and the histogram. Besides this, it is the only raw converter that applies all your in-camera settings, producing JPG-s from a raw file that are identical to the camera’s JPG output.

Unless you are shooting sports / action it is unlikely you would shoot that much in a day.  I would suggest reviewing the histogram / setting / image or whatever sooner rather than later whether you are shooting in an automated mode or fully manual.  By getting in the habit of reviewing quickly you can hopefully make any changes you may need quickly.

Tom, add events to the list. After Burns Night, I had 2300 shots to process.

 

 

Chimping is good when the lighting is variable. I tend to mostly shoot with center-weighted metering and have done so for so long that the compensation is second nature.

Agree...point was that in general you don't have to go back hundreds of images to review / compare...There is certainly a chance that someone can shoot over 1000 images in any kind of session...
