D7000 Focus Problem?

Just grabbed a Nikon D7000 a few days ago and didn't really use it until I grabbed a new lens (85MM 1.8 afs) quality is great. However I ALWAYS have to manually focus, its as if the AF doesn't work. I tried switching the dial that says "AF M" and holding the button in to switch to AF-Single, but everytime I hold the button down, no options come up. I hold it and don't see any options anywhere to switch between AF-S, AF-A or AF-C. Please help.

Hi, today I recorded some videos on my Nikon camera, played them on the camera, and all of the audio played as I watched the videos.

Where to get old Nikon serviced?
Added (1). I have an old Nikon F2 that I haven't used in years. I am seeing more people use film again and am interested in shooting with it. Is there someplace you'd recommend to take it for service? It's been sitting for quite some time so I imagine it needs a good once over. I don't think anything's wrong with it but it probably needs to be cleaned.

Canon, Nikon, or Sony?

So I've been shooting with an original Canon 5D for the past year now and am looking at upgrading. Currently only have a 50mm 1.8 and an 85mm 1.8 and one flash unit.
Basically I'm looking at some other systems as well as Canon for an upgrade and it's come down to either the Canon 6D, 7D MKII, Sony A7, or the Nikon D610.

I mainly shoot portraits, weddings, and architecture based street photography, so detail tends to trump outright performance. At this point I'm not too heavily invested in Canon so a switch (if worth it) would be doable.

Thanks!

Flash compensation not working?

DSLR won't focus with refractor telescope?

I have a Nikon D5200 with the appropriate T-ring and adapter for my Celestron 90EQ refractor. I was looking at the moon through the scope with one of the eye pieces and everything was perfect. Took out the eye piece and put my camera set up in and all was extremely blurry. I went through the full range of motion with the focus nobs on the scope and it never came in to focus. It seems like the further in I turned the nobs the smaller and more clear the image got but it was still way out of focus. Is there something I'm missing or not doing right? My Nikon does not have an internal focus motor so all focusing must done via the lens, in this case my scope. What else do I need? Thank you.

Fun inexpensive camera accessories?

Hi ya'll

I have been asked to think of a sub £20 gift and I was thinking some camera accessory. I like film photography and I use Nikon (for their interchangeability).

So I'm looking for something for an F, F2, F3 or F4. If film camera accessories are not an option, something for a D200 or D300 would also work.

I'd like to note that I'm not even sure if it's possible to come up with anything for this price but thought I may as well ask. I was thinking something like a remote release or focusing screen etc.

Thanks for any suggestions:)

Apa kamera pro yang bagus buat videografi dan bikin film untuk pemula dgn budget rendah?

Sebelumnya saya sempat punya Handycam Sony, tapi mah masih kurang greget. Mendingan saya beli DSLR atau Mirrorless ya buat menjajaki videografi lebih dalam? Budget ane cuma dibawah 6 juta. Kalo DSLR apa yg bagus, kalo mirrorless apa yg bagus? Saran yg saya dapat itu Canon T5i, Canon T5, Nikon D3300, dan Sony Alpha A5100? Gimana saran agan sekalian? Atau ada pendapat lain? Thank you.

Thinking of upgrading from a Nikon D5100 to a Panasonic GH4?

I have a Nikon lens already, the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8. Will it be compatible as is or will I need to purchase a Metabones EF to M43?

I'm using the camera strictly for video, will there be a noticeable difference in video quality from this upgrade?

The D5100 was great to learn from. But I'm just not getting that "professional" look. I shoot music videos and market through youtube so video quality is essential.

Would this be a good laptop for my needs? (HP Pavilion 15-ab028na)?

My current laptop is semi-old and slow, with pretty crappy specs (I can safely say this even as a person that's not too knowledgeable about computer specs:P).

I want to get a new one and I've been looking around a little bit. The HP Pavilion 15-ab028na caught my eye.

I use my computer for browsing the internet, editing photos and watching shows/movies and listening to music.

I'm mostly looking for a better, faster laptop, that can handle many tabs and applications being open at the same time without freezing, for me to be able to go about my "normal" use of the laptop without having to wait for the applications to start working again.

I'm also very interested in photography (I have a Nikon D7100) and blogging and I hope to start working from home (part/full time) in the future. It's still something I'm figuring out how to go about and I'm really not sure what the future will hold for me, but I know that it's an important goal for me, so I'd like to keep that in mind when deciding on a laptop. I'm not that experienced in photo editing, but it's something I'm interested in learning, so I'd like for the laptop to be able to handle the use of Photoshop.

I'm basically looking for a good laptop that's an upgrade from what I have at the moment, that would be good for the beginning stages of when I get more into photography/photo editing. It would be a stepping stone as I'd buy something more professional once the need arises. My price range for now is about 900 euros.

Nikon D3300 Autofocus Light problem?

When in single point AF mode, besides the selected AF point, some of the surrounding AF points also gets very slightly illuminated (as if there is some leakage from the main AF point). The brightness is much less than the main AF point. I tried various modes and subjects, turning off and on the camera but the problem persists.

Is this normal? Shall I be concerned and take it to service center?

How to make my D3100's shutter faster?

I own a Nikon D3100 camera. The problem is that when I go to take pictures there is this weird delay with the shutter. It focuses, closes and then a few seconds later the picture appears on the screen. This still happens even when the shutter speed is increased to the maximum. I have seen others with the same camera point it at the subject they are shooting and there is no delay what so ever with the shutter. It closes instantly and that's it. Any help would be greatly appreciated since I haven't been able to use the camera for some time now because of this issue. Thanks

Nikon mount 70-200/80-200 shootout?

I'm looking for a fast telephoto lens for sports/candid shots.

Obviously, the Nikon 70-200 f2.8 is the most optically superior (although it has an older VR system). I know that it has issues when focusing at close objects (at 200mm it is actually close to 140mm when focused close).

Another choice is the Nikon 70-200 f4, which is lighter and cheaper, but still over a grand. Although it has an excellent VR system (4 stops), it has a smaller aperture which cannot freeze motion as well as an f2.8 aperture can.

I have also ruled out the sigma 70-200 and looked at the Tamron 70-200. I have read positive reviews from it. However, I am still a bit skeptical of third party lenses but I am still considering the tamron.

The last choice that I have is the 80-200 Nikon f2.8 which has no VR and has slightly inferior optics as well as slower AF and has no weather sealing.

I'm torn on which one to choose! Please be aware that I am on a tight budget and own a crop body as well as a full frame.

Thanks

Taller speedlight the better?

The Nikon SB-900 and 910 are taller than the SB-700 which would reduce the possibility of getting red-eye because it's farther from the camera. Does that only matter if you have a big lens? If you shoot with a short lens it will never block the flash. Now… Which lenses with the hood on are too big to use with a SB-700? The biggest lens I have right now is the 17-55mm 2.8 DX. Will it be fine with the SB-700 with a lens hood? But what if I plan on having a 70-200mm? Is the 700 tall enough for that?
