    Nikon D750 & D780

    Thanks for replying. Thought face detection is one of those focus thing that's similar to phone's camera with rectangle boxes around faces. Any tips using this face detection?

    Nikon D750 & D780

    That's how I do it. Auto ISO is new to me and seeing so many good photographers using here, I started playing with them. D750 is my first FF and since high ISO images are so good with this camera, I've no problem setting it to the highest ISO. As the flash topic came up here, I spent almost 2hrs...

    Nikon D750 & D780

    If I use ttl and auto ISO in aperture mode, camera's meter in most indoor situations is underexposing. I was not aware of the fact that auto ISO only raises 2 stops from set base ISO. Normally I use M mode to expose for background to my liking and use flash in TTL. But it's too much hit and...

    Nikon D750 & D780

    A quick test. With built in flash, auto ISO can go to max value set. Using my Godox TT685 mounted on camera, auto ISO only goes up to 2 stops from whatever is base ISO. Exposure meter displays on aperture mode depending on under/over exposure and min shutter speed set on Auto ISO. Is this the...

They're fully vetted, medically checked, language tested and their vehicle fully...

    Beginner upgrade - lens or camera?

    3.5 - 6.3 but at times no option than to use 2.8. For head shots when really close to subject, no problem with the focus or sharpness. Ordered a year old nikon 50mm 1.8D from bay market for £90. Will try to learn more with this lens and won't be a big loss when time to move. Also will give me...

    Beginner upgrade - lens or camera?

    As per OP, I currently have Sigma 17-50mm 1:2.8 EX D which I find very soft and few times out of focus. I even sent D7K to Nikon service centre for focus alignment as there were report of issues when first released. Mostly I'm only in full body family portraits. Never managed to get pics as...
