How to manually focus a 70-300mm?
I'm getting the 70-300 AF lens for my Nikon D3000. However auto focus is not available for the D3000 so I have to manually focus it myself. How do I do this? Do I just turn the part on the lens, left and right until it is in focus? A youtube video or a tutorial would be great. I tried searching but had no luck.
I bought a Nikon D3000 in 2010 and about a month ago, every so often (and becoming worse by the day) The camera will not take a picture when the camera is in Auto Focus. It takes pictures great when it is in manual focus just not in auto. When I have it in auto is doesn't even focus, there's just a low clicking noise… I really don't want to have to send it away to be fixed because i'm afraid it will be expensive since the warrenty is expired. I also have to have it for photography class on august 31. Does anyone know what is wrong with the camera and how it can be fixed? I need to know really quick!
How to get the remote cable release to work on my Nikon D70s?
Just purchased the MC-DC1 remote cord for my Nikon D70s. I want to take some photos of the stars moving at night but I can't get the cable release to hold the shutter open. It will cause the camera to close it's shutter and take a picture but it won't hold it open for longer than 30 seconds. Could someone help me out and tell me what kind of settings my camera should be at to get this to work?
Thanks!
Added (1). I did read the user manual… It has three steps to it - find where to plug it in, plug it in, hold button. I have used the lock function of the cable release but the shutter still closes at 30 seconds even if I still have the cable release locked or am holding it down.
Are these lens compatible with Nikon D5100?
AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 G VR? Also, would these be their kit-lens?
Which is better the better choice?
I have an 18-55mm lens which came with the camera. I want to buy a telephoto zoom lens. After a lot of research i came up with the Tamron 18-250mm lens and Tamron 70-300mm lens (without stabilization).
What i like about the 70-300mm lens is the macro mode as a i like to take macro photos with my Nikon D3100 DSLR, the problem is that this lens is not versatile as the 18-250mm lens.
So should i buy the 18-250mm and sacrifice the 50mm difference and the macro mode? Or buy the 70-300mm and ignore the changing of lens?
Does the neewer tt560 speedlite flash work on a Nikon D3100?
I need a inexpensive, but good flash, and this speedlite has received great reviews, I just want to make sure it works with my nikon d3100 before I buy it.
Would it look better. I'm doing videos with a nikon d3100 and they mostly go on youtube so if i were to film in 1080 and convert to 720 during editing would it look better or would that cause problems
Smudge on pictures taken with Nikon d3200?
Here's an example: 
It's that dark smudge at the top and center of the photo
I know it's not dirt on the lens since it comes up regardless of what lens I use. So is it just some dirt on the mirror? If so, how should I clean it? If not, what is it; a defect with the sensor? Any help would be very much appreciated because I just bought this camera no more than a week ago for a trip to japan, for which I depart tomorrow! Thank you
Added (1). Okay I just realized I made a dumb mistake thinking it could be dirt on the mirror (it wouldn't show up in the photo then).So is this a defect with the sensor?
How to create motion blur on Nikon D5100?
How do i take a picture with motion blur such as traffic blur?
Yes, my camera is 6 years old, I get it, but this is the FIRST issue it has EVER had, I'm incredibly impressed and satisfied with it's performance.
The issue, it only focuses on one of the possible focus areas. When you look through the lens you see a little box darken over the area that the camera is focusing on, mine will only focus on the area to the far left.
Any ideas what I can do to fix it?
