Can't see exposure indicator in viewfinder on Nikon D7000 Even when you press the +/- button? |

When focusing at max zoom, focus is lost after zooming out. Is that normal? Really? I always thought cheap lenses would do that. I've mostly found it on kit lenses, as the asker has stated. |

Small, faint circle in corner of image. What is it? @MichaelClark What? Are you saying it can damage it? Why would they have have a "mirror lockup" function then? I never said to do anything else... BTW, it's perfectly fine to blow the sensor as there is an IR filter over the actual sensor. You replied as if what I suggested would make the problem worse. |

How do I get the Super Control Panel of Olympus OM-D E-M5 to appear on rear-LCD screen when the EVF is on? The latest FW is 1.6 |

Canon G11 Lens problems @jrista That's fine. I wasn't meaning to be uncivil. It was just frustrating that someone was telling me what was what when I pretty much do it as a job. |

Canon G11 Lens problems @Caleb Please see this answer for reference: photo.stackexchange.com/questions/29320/… Someone had disassembled their lens and when it was assembled, it would have looked like the part you linked to. Stop arguing with me, will you. As I said, I thought it would have been easier to quote (in this case) the part than to check, internally, the severity of the damage. Just because it's not designed to be something, doesn't mean it can't. |

Canon G11 Lens problems @Caleb Well, it's certainly case by case. And I'll have you know, that in some cases, the part (in this case, a major part) is more expensive than labour. It's easier to quote and not dismantle the unit to check the severity of the damage because after a lens replacement, you can guarantee it will be working. I never said, "In all cases it's cheaper to clean". Did you quote and inspect this camera in question? Have you differentiated the cost difference in cleaning and replacing the lens? No. |

Mirrorless camera: setting the diaphragm Hey, doesn't the OM-D have 3? 1 for mode, 2 for aperture/shutter? |

Why does my Nikon D5000 stop live view after 30 seconds? Exactly my point. Maybe they didn't notice it? "No mention" does not equal "Not happening". |

Why does my Nikon D5000 stop live view after 30 seconds? When I was reading through the manual, it appeared that the 30second LV overrode the Video Mode. However, it does state in the manual that the REC with strike through can appear, but it doesn't explain when it can appear. |

Does a specific f number across all lenses denote same amount of light? Are you also concerned about the format size as well, or simply from lens to lens at (for example) f1.8? If I am incorrect in this, is there a term that tells me across all lenses the amount of light they will pass through to the sensor? No, as the amount of light from your source can change, so will the amount of light on the sensor even at the same aperture. When we say a light source emits 1500 lumens of light, it does not really matter if the light source is incandescent, CFL, diode etc. If you're not worried about colour/white balance, no. It's the same amount. |

Are there any digital cameras that show the partial picture mid-exposure? It's kinda strange, isn't it? Most of the people who buy this model have at least some idea of photography (hint, look at all the "I just bought a Nikon D3100/5100. How do I shot this?" questions here) and would have used film a while ago but they think that people who have no idea about photography are buying them! "They don't even know what live bulb is..." |

How Autofocus with Single Focus Point works after Re composing Well, it can, but what will make it defocus is moving back and/or forth. Depends how much you pan but for portiats, it's generally OK. It's even doable for some macro photography. And sorry, I'll edit my first point. I read compose as focus. :) |
