I'm just a new Nikon D600 user and not familiar with my first FX body. I would like to know if I can similarly do the focus selection on the D600 like that of the old Nikon D80.
The old Nikon D80 has the manual focus point selection wherein if you half-pressed the shutter button, the camera will make the image clear even if in Manual Focus Point Selection
Does the Nikon D600 has this kind of Manual Focus Point Selection wherein the camera can automatically detect the subject that make it clear
If there's such a setting how do I do it?
I have tried switching the M/A button on the lens and on the camera.
All it gives me is autofocus, AF-S, AF-C etc.
I tried different lenses Nikon G, D lens even 3rd party lens but nothing
When in Manual Point Focus Selection, I can select focus manually, obviously; but the camera does not have the ability to focus automatically when the shutter button is half pressed
On the Nikon D600, all I get is autofocus and it is not that reliable, unlike in using the old Nikon D80 manual focus point selection mode I can focus it wherever I want and it detects the subject making it clearer.

What is up with my YouTube video?
So I made this video a couple of months ago and posted it to YouTube. I was just watching it today and I noticed that at the top and bottom of the frame are two awkward black bars that keep moving in the frame during the video.
Here is the video for reference:
Does anyone have a clue what this could be? I used Windows Movie Maker and shot of my Nikon d3100 if that has any relevance.

How to make my SD stop making doubles?
I have a Nikon D3100 and my SD card is copying doubles in which when I upload them onto iPhoto there's a double of each. But when I view them on my camera there's just one of each. Is there a setting I pushed on my camera that made it do this? Or what should I do? Please and thank you!

Will my Nikon 50mm 1:1.8 lens from my old film SLR work on my Nikon D3200 DSLR?
I'm fairly new to photography, being that I just got a Nikon D3200 for Christmas.
My parents just found their old SLR camera from back in the day, a Nikon N5005. On this N5005 is a 50mm 1:1.8 lens on it. It says Nikon AF Nikkor & Made in Japan. It also has a thing that says Tiffen on it, but I think it is a UV filter.
I'm scared to mount this lens onto my D3200, being that it is a new camera and would not want to break it through my stupidity.
Can I use this lens on my D3200?
Would I need to buy an adapter ring?
Sorry if this is a stupid question but please help!

I'm looking for (affordable) lenses for my Nikon D3100. I've had my camera for a year, and have yet to buy a new lens. I'm totally lost in what to buy and would really appreciate some feedback. I've been looking at the Tamron 75-300mm F/4-5.6 LD AF-D For Nikon, but after more research saw that it wouldn't auto-focus with my camera. Any suggestions?
