If you don't know what to do with your spare time, go walk your dog. If you don't have a dog, walk someone else's dog. It's a better way for you to spend your time than what you are doing right now. If you think you don't have any spare time, then you probably don't have a dog.

When I change the EV compensation, how will that affect my aperture, shutter speed, or ISO? Let me me try my interpretation of the question. If my camera is in manual mode and I change the exposure compensation, what are the new actual settings that the camera uses? Does the shutter speed change? Does the aperture change? BTW, does the ISO change? Same question, but with camera in full auto mode (yeah there are different auto modes), or shutter priority mode, or aperture priority mode. (Does the ISO ever change with exposure compensation?) |

What (presumably mid-range) phone cameras compete with $100 Point & Shoot cameras? The down votes aren't explained, so I'll piggyback on them (but I won't down vote). This is an open ended question. It isn't clear what you mean by "easily compete with the most serious Point & Shoots" Also, looks like spam with the statement "Hint: you can wait for tomorrow's Mobile World Congress for your answers." |

How can I shoot in a studio at the widest apertures? You can also try an ND fader filter or even two polarizer's stacked for the same effect. dpreview.com/forums/thread/3455638 and bhphotovideo.com/c/… |

Why can my old Epson dye printer produce accurate reds but my professional lab can't? What does the lab have to say about it? I have to imagine that an award winning lab has someone who can offer some authoritative information on the topic. They might even show you some counterexamples. If they do give you a response, please share it in your question. It's always helpful in these questions to show what research you have done. |

What is the best way to clean the sensor on a digital SLR? Incorrect spelling of the product name (Pec Pads) lead to it being overlooked in searches that use the correct spelling. (Other minor edits to meet minimum characters requirement for edits.) |

Should I use Active D-Lighting when shooting Raw? I generally use the histogram and highlight mode. I just had an epiphany about what ADL might do for the user. It appears that it might (try to) make the exposure correction that I would do after looking at the histogram and highlights. You make a good point that is easy to miss that the histogram doesn't show the raw being saturated or unexposed. That explains why there is still detail that can be pulled out in raw processing. |

Pearstone EN-EL15 Battery Quality That being said, I think I would still be concerned about the its compatibility with the Nikon charger. I have had Lithium-Ion OEM batteries in other products swell up due to being charged by other than the manufacturer's charger. L-I batteries have a complication in this regard. (That's why I wanted some feedback from long term experience.) |

Pearstone EN-EL15 Battery Quality I have read that question, which is about 2nd source batteries in general. However, after reading the reviews of the Pearstone and knowing the source, I am specifically asking if there is anything to suggest that this may be a suitable equivalent. (From what I read, it could be a rebranding of the Nikon, even.) And is there anything to suggest that sourcing from B&H (or Adorama for that matter) is a sign of suitability? Also, the reviews tend to reflect short term use. I'm looking for feedback from long term experience. |
