talking abt the AF n its points, if we were to use the rule of third for composition, how is it possible to do that with a spot metering? thxs.

I am not using D7000.. but most Nikon cam you can lock the AE point. use the AF point.. press the AE lock button, recompose and AF.. then click.
You can move the selected AF point. Camera will spot meter at that AF point.
from manual:
Camera meters circle 3.5mm in diameter (approx 2.5% of frame). Circle is centered on current focus point, making it possible to meter off-center subjects.
hope that helps.

redmonsoon said:No no, you're mistaken,
Im sure he meant take tht out, and use another, usually a stickon protector. Eg GGS lcd protector.
Do u need to use another other than tht is of course debatable.. Bt i'll recommend it because.
1. The default plastic protector is nt flush tight, so dust n sand particles may/ and often go in between to scratch e lcd.
2. e GGS Glass protector is clear n nice. Ok debatable..
3. Easier resale cause u can offer a no scratch nikon plastic protector..
4. Abt $15-$20?.. Still affordable
Ok all personal opinions, up to urself..lol

Don't get conned. The plastic protector can be bought if need be. Don't need to protect that one honestly.
ok, thxs for your view. of cos, it's highly debateable la. anyways, just to clarify wif u
4. Abt $15-$20?.. Still affordable <-- this is the price of the GGS LCD protector or the plastic cover.
anyways, views r to be respected, maybe taking best of both worlds n as a kiasu singaporean, i would get the LCD protector n also use the plastic cover. anyways, i think the plastic cover looks nice n it's cheap as well. i got quoted on the LCD protector it was like $29???

Probably Nikon original plastic cover is about that price.
I don't quite like it coz:
a) looks ugly (personal opinion)
b) has a gap which might allow small abrasive particles to get trapped in between LCD and it.
c) sticks out too far and presses against my nose.
If you stick those handphone kind of screen protector (thin plastic), you can still fix on the Nikon plastic protector.
But if you stick on the GGS protector, I don't think you can fix on the Nikon protector.

Blur Shadow said:Yeah. My iPhone screen protector is only S$5. A genetic screen protector from iPhoto (formerly Lords) is about S$6. Go figure man.
