What's wrong with my DSLR? Extreme shutter lag at all times even with manual focus?!

for the last few months every time I press the shutter button it takes 5-10 seconds for the camera to take the photo even on manual mode and manual focus. I have a Nikon D3100, 6 years old, there was a period of 6th months where I didn't use it and it just sat in my room… What that be the problem?

How many fps do old DVD camcorder record at?

I have one and it looks really smooth. Specially compare to my newer Nikon 1080p @30fps. It's crazy how they still give new cameras a run for their money.

What type of film should I use for a Nikon FM2 50mm 1.4?

I'm a little confused about what type of film I would need for this camera. If my lens is a 50mm, does my roll of film need to be 50mm? If someone could either link me to the film I need to buy or give me the name of one, that would be so helpful! Thanks!

Nikon 35mm vs 50mm lens help?

I have a Nikon D7000. I'm looking to buy a Nikon 35mm f/1.8G ED lens, maybe the 1.4G, however, since my camera is not full frame, it'll end up being more of a 50mm. What lens can I buy that will properly convey the 35mm look on my camera?

Lens recommendations for Canon DSLR?

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a new lens for my Canon 70D that suits what I want.

I need- a lens that is a wider angle, under a 20mm, is great in low light (I'll be using it to take long exposures of the stars in the night sky), also a lens that is great for daytime landscape shots as well.

If anyone can please recommend a good lens that fits those requirements that isn't too pricey, please respond! It would be well appreciated! Thank you!

When sighting in a gun scope, what does left and up mean? Thank you?

I have a Nikon prostaff and I am not sure about sighting it in. I did it last year, but I don t want to waste ammo by being wrong. So, what goes left when you turn the dial left is it the corsshairs? Or the image? Also, is it the same with up and down?

And! If it moves 1/4th inch at 100 yards, that would be 1/2 inch at 50, right? Thank you!
