I have a Canon but the same rules apply For Canon 1080p video clips canot be longer than 12 minutes due to the 4GB size limit in the FAT32 file system of DSLRs ( need to confirm the 12 min for 1080p on mine ) And a secondary issue is overheating processors KK
FreshCoffee2 well done nice camera. and thanks KK for answering the question for all of us that also wondered why but never bothered to ask...

I'm old school in that I set my AF point and focus. back to the camera...
Brett_H Dslrs have buffer over-run issues so they're limited to 20 or 30 mins for protection of data. There are firmware hacks out there but why would you! Happy Nikon Nikkor thread :thumb:
Brett_H Quote from: Brett H on Yesterday at 09:46 PM Is that f1.8? Answer from GeekKopi: 52.5mm equivalent at f2.2??? How's my math? The DOF looks a bit deeper than that....? yes ts a 52.5mm equivalent, f-stop was at 1.8, the DOF would look deeper due to the smaller sensor. i thought long and hard about the full frame 35mm but comparing apsc/full frame to medium/large format, they are not so different 😛 (i keep telling myself)
Brett_H Yes! The big difference between the Full Fram and Crop Sensors (I own both) is that pictures with the Full Frame Cameras are much, much more expensive :rofl: In all seriousness I had a 1.3Megapixel Ricoh camera back in the 90s that took wonderful 6x4s. A great picture is the difference, not the format or the brand. Except Canon. Their Pro stuff is awesome but I have great difficulty using their mid-range gear. SHOTS FIRED in the Nikon thread!!!
GeekKopi Here's a another test pic - my Staffy in the park yesterday. Couldn't get her to sit still so I had one hand on the camera and one on her collar. 35mm, 1/640, f1.8, iso100
kbilleter Animals are tricky. Black and white poodles in the same shot is quite a pretty challenge according to my wife.
FreshCoffee2 Coincidentally, today I need to take some shots of a horse to send in with an application for breed registration, so it will be interesting to see how it goes. Expecting it to be a lot less stressful than photographing the wife's dogs...they just wont stay still for a second ;D Warning however, I will be using a canon 😉

I found a link to a developer that has put together these presets to be added manually to Lightroom and they are based on the same algorithms for those found in the newest CC version.

GeekKopi Hi Brett. Quick question. I don't usually use auto ISO but when I'm lazy and want to shoot with it on in P-mode I'm trying to figure out how to limit the upper end. I want to set a limit of 400 and if I need anything above that then I manually set it. I've looked into the menu but somewhat confused. Maybe it can't be done?
Brett_H Yep, easy... There is a menu setting which lets you set that under shooting menu from memory. I've set my upper limit to 6400 in Auto because it's the equivalent noise-wise of iso400 on the D70. I'll check it tomorrow if you can't find it before then. Shot another concert tonight with the D750 and the 24-120F4. Boring lens and camera... Every shot a stunner. Where are the idiosyncrasies. The D800 has them?? I switched to a 180F2.8 Nikon prime for some fun when photos of the kids were becoming pedestrian. Now that's a funky piece of kit!
GeekKopi Thanks Brett. I found the menu. It took me a little while to understand the setting. I've got my iso max limit to 6400 and the default to 100 so the auto iso can choose up to 6400 if 100 is not suitable. Post some pics up of the concert. I'm hanging to take the camera out for a spin. It's been a busy week.
Brett_H Hey mate, I can't post pics online because there were kids in the concert. I'll find a couple of other pics I've taken over the week.

Once it's registered it becomes a standalone Lightroom 6.x.
