Nikon D3000 Digital Camera with 18-105mm lens Questions & Answers
Release mode resets to default when camera turns off
That's the way the camera works. You can use the "Remote on Duration" command in the Setup menu to change the length of time the camera stays on waiting for a command from the remote, but if the camera times out then it will revert to non-remote operation. An alternative would be to hook up an external power supply and keep the camera from turning off at all.
Autofocus not working
Have you tried to see if you camera is running the latest firmware? If its not update it.
Nikon Teleconverter
You could probably use either a 1.4 x or a 2 x, depending on how much you wanted to increase the focal length of your lens. A 1.4 x would give you a range of 98-420, a 2 x would give you a range of 140-600.
Having said that, teleconverters are not usually recommended for use with zoom lenses, and you would lose one stop with the 1.4 x, two stops with the 2 x, thus necessitating longer exposures. Also, with the increase in focal length comes an increased probability of camera shake being more apparent, due to the increased magnification. In your position, I would attempt to get closer to the subject, using a teleconverter as a last resort if this is not possible.
My Nikon D3200 says shutter error can I fix this issue myself?
hi,
did you charge your battery full ? if the battery is not charged enough, it will not drive the shutter opener motor perfectly, and if any type of dirt or friction on the shutter drive gears this will happen, please check the shutter movement by removing the lens.
How do I change the format of my downloaded pix from NEF to JPEG?
I use GIMP 2, a free open source editor that is very sophisticated.
I think I had to install an add-on so that it would read NEF files. Gimp converts all files that are edited in it to its own "xtg" file extensions. After I finish editing, I save the picture in the "xtg" file extension then I import it in "jpg" format to the same folder where the original NEF along with the XTG formats are stored. During the editing process, I usually scale the image if I plan to send it somewhere on the web.
I think a lot of other editors have a similar function, especially if the proper codecs are installed.
In addition, in the past I have used conversion programs to do the same thing but it's been a long time. Do a web search for NEF converters and you may come up with a free program or two that will allow you to make the conversion without editing the picture.
