NIKON D800 ON PREORDER

Posted on May 31, 2012 by Drew — Leave a reply

Well I took the plunge and preordered a NIKON D800 back on May 4, 2012. In typical fashion Nikon is unable to fill the initial demand for the D800 and D800E. That’s ok I am a patient guy. This will cause a shift in my photography. I have since sold my NIKON D90 to a co worker. This is actually somewhat interesting in that it is his first DSLR and like always it gives me ideas to help others learn as well as learn myself. My CANON 60D will serve as a backup and secondary camera. The NIKON D7000 which is technically the little womans will probably see little direct use from me. This will not affect site content as Continue ReadingNIKON D800 ON PREORDER→

So you you have been plugging along with your D90 in AUTO mode since the day you took it out of the box. They only time you ever rotate the exposure selector is when you inadvertently switch it or someone else messes with the camera when your not looking. Well Im here to tell you to fear not.

NIKON D90 “F- -” ERROR

Posted on March 22, 2011 by Drew — Leave a reply

This is a common error among D90 owners. The problem stems from the data connection of the lens and body. There is speculation that either the D90 body or kit lens is slightly out of spec causing a poor connection between the lens and body. You can return both the body and lens to Nikon for repair but in most cases its not needed. In most cases the problem disappears after you have swapped lenses several times. To speed up the process take the lens and perform a lock/unlock about a dozen times. The twisting and locking seems to make things right. *Note* My D90 has only experienced this error with the kit lens.

NIKON D90 “CHA” ERROR

NIKON D90 “CHA” ERROR This error is quite common with Nikon DSLR cameras and shows up quite often with D90 users, myself included. Usually removing and reinstalling the SDHC memory card will clear it up. Additionally if possible format the memory card. I get this error with my two Sandisk and my Eye-Fi Pro X2 SDHC memory cards. This is a Nikon issue. Don’t blame the memory card vendors.
