The vertical release lock switch matches the operation of the directional pad lock ring or lever on bodies that have them. What the lock and power switches have in common is that you turn them clockw …

There is little, if any, point in trying to coax some arbitrary level of "pro-ness" out of Nikon's model numbering scheme. The last time you could do that was at the end of 2003, when Nikon's DSLR li …

Only Nikon knows for sure, but I'd imagine cost and bulk are the big factors. …

Phil Harvey's ExifTool works on NRW files and will do the job for you. It's a command line tool, but it's very powerful and will save you a lot of manual work. If you can determine the difference in …

A flash on the camera's hot shoe is in a known location relative to the film plane. From that, it's easy to calculate where to place the zoom head so the light covers the area the camera actually see …

The fact that Nikon doesn't make the tools required to read and store the alignment values in the camera won't help, either. Send it to Nikon. … If you send the body in for service, Nikon will likely notice that the board in the camera isn't the one it installed in the factory and may refuse to service it. …

$200 for the lens plus $375 for Nikon to fix it still puts you ahead of the game if it's the push-pull version of the lens and way ahead if it's the two-ring version. …

There is nothing on the right side of the body that's assignable to change the ISO directly. The closest you can get on a D300 is what you're doing. Newer bodies like the D750 allow assignment of th …

That isn't damage, it's the rubber flap that covers the hole where the cord for an external power source enters the camera. You'll find an illustration of how it works on page 311 of the owner's manu …
