In Topic: D7500 Auto Mode

04 October 2020 - 01:29 PM

I don't use Auto so I'm guessing a bit here but I presume you're talking about the plus/minus scale in the viewfinder. If so, I believe it's there so that you can dial in a certain amount of exposure bias should you wish to slightly override the Auto Mode's setting. To use it you would press the exposure compensation button and rotate either then main or secondary command dial to select the amount of compensation you want. 

 

On my D7000 I've had occasions where the camera fired off two shots when I thought I had it set to single shot mode. On at least a couple of those occasions the culprit was the "too easy to change" drive setting dial. Just bumping it can cause it to change modes which is apparently what happened to me. When I checked, it was in a multiple shot mode. However, I thought that Nikon had fixed that in either the D7100 or the D7200.

Could anyone specifically share what steps it takes to put the d7500 into multiple shot mode and then back into single shot mode?


In Topic: Kit Lens question

Actually, there is a significant difference between the 70-300mm kit lens you received with your D3500 and the one your father suggested. The latter has the Nikon Vibration Reduction (VR) feature built in (like your 18-55mm does) whereas the kit version you have does not. For a telephoto lens on a hand held camera, VR is important IMO.

 

From the Nikon website definition of VR: "A Nikon in-lens technology that improves image stability by automatically compensating for camera shake. Lenses that offer VR will feature the abbreviation VR on the lens barrel."

 

FWIW, I have the VR version of the AF-P 70-300mm. I purchased as a used item a while ago from B&H for less than $150. It is frequently used on my D7500 and has never been anything but flawless.

I am highly interested in the lenses with Nikon Vibration Reduction (VR.  

 

Is this actually the function of the lens or does the camera help?
 

Does anyone know how the reduction is accomplished?
