Should be discussing tips and tricks for using this camera more effectively.

Can describe your problem in more detail?
Does this "error code" appear when u first switch on the cam?

It refers to the number of shots you are able to take before your buffer runs out.
So say, when you half-press, you see [r09]. That means that you can continuously take 9 shots before your buffer is full, and you'd have to wait for your buffer to clear before you can take another shot. So when you shoot continuously, you should see the numbers decreasing from [r09], [r08], [r07]... but since the buffer clears as you shoot, there may be a case where the number goes like r09], [r08], [r07], [r07], [r06], [r05], [r05]...
The quality of your image determines how many pictures you can take before your buffer is full. Shooting in TIFF or RAW mode will typically get you less than shooting in Small Jpeg.
Or refer to your user's guide. Page 9 number 17.

I believe ZCA just wants snappyz to rely on his own researching skills (Read the XXXXXXX Manual) instead of being spoon fed the answers. While this is indeed the D90 thread for the camera's users, we would strongly encourage everyone to read deeply into the manual first as most of what you want to know can be found there... In other words, don't be LAZY! (not directed at anyone). FYI, I am still reading the manual whenever I've threaded into an unknown territory or when my memory fails to recall certain settings/usage.
Help will be offered, of course and if we do know the answer, when you aren't sure what certain passages in the manual means...

It's the memory buffer.
And pls don't be alarmed by the responses. It's only encouraging us to read up on the user manual more, and the more you read and try, the better you'll master your D90, or any other camera for tt matter. And it's really not directed at anyone.
Kriegs, it's treaded. :bsmilie:

Boy, this morning has certainly been a spelling bee lesson of sorts.. :bsmilie: thanks for the correction bro.
Thanks for the responses! It happens when i half press the button for focusing. If doesn't allow me to take the photo while displaying the above mentioned chars.
Yes i did read that part, the trouble was i had no idea why i could not shoot the picture while it showed.

Many reasons why shutter won't respond. One I can think of right from the top of my head is: min focusing of the lens. Happens when one tries to shoot a subject closer than minimum distance allowed by the lens. There are probably a lot more reasons..

Another reason. When lens can't lock onto target of focus. Eg shooting at empty night sky or super dark area of the scene. Only happens in auto focus mode. In manual focus, you can shoot anything out of focus.
It can also happen when the lens is still in "hunting" mode. I.e. still in the process of locking onto target.

In other words, there needs to be some contrast for the AF to work. If you try to focus on a blank white wall, it will not focus as well. Unless there is a shadow on the wall.

Did some quick testing on the "Active D Lighting" feature of the D90, which our 'beloved' Ken Rockwell loves so much.
If you shoot in RAW and use manual exposure mode, this feature seems to have no benefit whatsoever.
Shooting in JPG and one of the automated exposure modes (P, A, S), Active D Lighting attempts to prevent any blown highlights by deliberately underexposing, and then trying to recover shadow detail.
Note that if you use Nikon's RAW converter softwares (eg. Picture Project or View/CaptureNX), the Active D Lighting settings do get embedded in the RAW files. Hence the software will apply these settings during the importing of the RAW files.

D90 is an awesome camera indeed.
I think nobody has upgraded from D90 to D7000 right ?
You are quite true, i have friend giving up their D300s for a D7000 who still keep his D90..
Cheers D90 is a great Camera...

I believe that unused features are those waiting to be unlocked/learnt. After trying one rented piece, I realize there so much that I missed out on a D90 compare to D300s. Maybe less so for D7000 but the ergonomic built D300s is one thing hard to miss. If I had never owned a camera, I might go for D7k, but now, after a yr with my D90, D300s is the only obvious DX body choice, for now at least...
