D7000 users (Part 4)

Erm, I referring to those switch lock cable release... Not the one u describe. The Nikon IR remote works in the manner u said, but u need to switch to remote release on your camera first. I find the release cable is a more practical option.

Come to think abt it, Phottix Cleon II might work exactly what you have described, but for a wireless radio release at $60, I find it not practical... Unless you want to take group photo with yourself in it under hot sun and timer release has becomes impractical...

i already have a remote. where can i switch to remote release to test it out ?
sorry for the many questions. thanks.

my remote: dealextreme.com/p/universal-digital-slr-remote-for-pentax-nikon-canon-konica-minolta-5483 - sorry can't post link yet
it works for single shot. but for bulb mode i have to keep holding it, if i release it, the camera will stop the mode.

RTFM

what is that ?

 

[chillicutter]

just curious, would any d7000 users be interested to meet up for outing/gathering? i often see the pentax side organising outings for pentax users, wondering if we could do something similar here too.

Would like to join if possible!

i see. i read and tried but it doesn't work. So am hoping that someone might have a different path to configure it as how i wanted it to be.
thanks

U mean u have the original ML-L3 Nikon IR remote?
It should have the 'Click hold" for a few seconds, let go, then click again to stop feature. I believe it's stated in the manual as well.

The other way is to google a bit on this remote and long exposure to see if u can get any help.

nope i don't have. i have a 3rd party remote that i use it for my previous canon slr.
just that for Nikon i have to press and hold for my bulb mode to be kept running.

i google and found everyone is using ML-L3 remote. Which is not what i wish to purchase additionally and should not have.

if i read correctly, you say youre using your old remote from your canon slr on your nikon dslr? and expecting it to work the same way?

the remotes supports a number of different manufacturers camera such as Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax and Konica Minolta. I have tried them on all of it and it works like how i am used to it except Nikon until i got my D7000. Which somehow does not work.

 

[Gribber]

ok, I have found the way to do it. thanks for all help. Now i can save my money. Yays

You will see that at smaller apertures the background will be more in focus

It basically closes down the aperture blades to let u see the resultant Depth of Field based on the value you set. The smaller the aperture (or the larger the F-number), the more obvious the change. This is because u will always look thr your viewfinder at the largest aperture.

Since we are on the subject of moon shots, and I got some tips from seniors in another room, plus the moon tonight is BIG! So here's my moonshot - D7000 + Sigma 150-500mm @ 500mm, ISO 100, f8, 1/20sec, -0.7EV (this was a mistake that I only realized later).

After some post-processing in Photoshop for details (rather than aesthetics), here is what it looks like:

Very good, just curious ... Moon has got no color ? Some NASA shots show moon in blueish/purpleish shades.
