are there any software provided by nikon to check yr shutter count?

Exif reader softwares can be used to show shutter count from the files.

1st photo very well expose for me.

First don't look overexposed to me as well, I think its ok .

i thk cant recreate the problm in the 2 pics

here's 1 example of serious overexposure

i'm a D3000 new owner,
may i know what u use to clean your lens / UV filter ?

i'm searching a good quality lens pen, but most i seen is made in china 1 only,
any suggestion of where can i get it ? price ?

Get this,

thank you for the link !
now going to place my order.

I got mine for RM20 or RM22 can't recall, but I think it is easier to order since no need go around finding for it .

welcome aboard...
i got my lenspen frm bb. didnt quite sure whether its made in china or not as i throw away d packaging alredy & theres non printed on lenspen regards made of which country... however its printed "malaysia" & "www.schmidtmarketing.com" on it.
anyway, im getting new 1 as d current i already used it for lcd cleaning....

oh ya, dont 4get blower as well. get it frm mitmivec as he having combo deal. lenspen + rocket blower = RM60...

I guess should be your metering problem, coz middle is black colour, hence the system will overexpose to let the black to be just alright while the white will be over.

any recommend to get a cheaper sb 600????

Not exactly a problem, but the metering is trying to meter that guy's shirt to 18% grey. Try shooting a white background, definitely underexposed since it will try to meter it to grey as well.

I don't actually mean a problem. Wrong description from me.

What I'm trying to say is exactly the same as yours, the computer try to get a balance exposure but is fooled by the shirt.

thanks for the info..
but i curious tat how come the blower tat mitmivec selling is expensive than the Lenspen..

i tot the blower isn't necessary, since we can use the Lenspen brush to brush away the dust tat stick on the lens.

those r giottos blower, the dinosaur among others.
well as for me, i prefer to use blower to blow off loose dust, habuk, debris etc...

Same here, I prefer to use blower for the dust and all. Only using the brush for really stubborn ones and finally use the tip to make it shiny~ .

guyz, wanna ask.. i just bought a 2nd hand nikkor lens which is still under 2 month warranty.. however the the lens' zoom ring rubber is loose a little bit.. any idea where i can send to fix it?

Send it to Nikon Service Center for repair. Probably don't need to pay for repairs since it is under warranty? (Not too sure on this part, no experience with the service center.)

ooo thanx!! hope there'll not charge me to fix the rubber.. no money left after bought this lens
