hi guys, im new to photography.recently got a d90 with 18-105mm kit lens.would like to ask when i focus that time,the lens is focusing but the lens wont move as we mostly see in real life. is this normal?

that's an IF lens (internal focusing), so nothing moves externally.
for more ''secret'', read the manual

thanks bro.
guys,is there any outing that u all will organize.probably can learn from all sifus.

hmm.

this guy sent his unit back to claim for yellow tint warranty, nikon said its normal and sent it back.
interestingly he wants to trade it for a D3s...

haha yellow tint/green tint is like the last thing I would bother or worry about a camera body
those defects in AF/metering/processing/battery are more worrying than a slight yellow/green tint

what defects are there in AF?
or is it ppl who are trying to get to grips with the high MP?

nope, and Nikon has unofficially acknowledged the AF issue too
the AF issue is something that the left AF point are always OOF while the centre and right focus point are spot on
and it's not an user error, since ppl test it using tripod and compare image capture with liveview where in liveview all the focus point is spot on so that rules out sensor's problem.
it's more apparent on wide angle lenses like 14-24 and 24mm.

another thing to trouble you on colour space and colour gamut for images uploading on the internet

colour space and colour gamut explained

no point in getting the best camera and best lenses and stuffs but 1. didn't print it out 2. upload it in a wrong manner

so if its not sensor problem, and in liveview its all in focus, so something is happening when its written to the card?

should be something to do with the AF module i think.
Nikon has only let those NPS fellas know about this, I tried to contact Nikon but to outsiders they would only say there's no AF problem reported.
But they have notified NPS members that Nikon hq is following the matter and bulletin has been issued to nikon subsidiaries to update the issue (according to Ming Thein) .
and with no new shipments for the past week, I assume Nikon is sorting the problem before any new shipments are made(just guessing).

LiveView using Contrast Detect, sure different when using viewfinder.

If there is Back Focus or Front Focus issue, using LiveView doesn't have this problem.

Duh!!!
because in liveview mode, sensor is the one focusing not the AF module. That's why normally one compare an image with one taken under liveview mode to check front/back focusing. And you fine tune your AF in your body til it mirrors the result achieved in liveview. It's not right to say liveview sure different when using viewfiner. A perfectly calibrated AF module and lens should yield identical result when compared to images capture by using liveview.
And I'm talking about the AF problem for D800. Because it's known with wide lenses, the left focus points are OOF while the centre and right are not, using liveview is to check whether it was due to the AF module or sensor.

Huh?
I'm saying if have problem with focusing, using LiveView sure will spot on, as reply to your statement about when they use LiveView it's spot on.

they used liveview just to rule out the AF issue from the sensor, nothing else. -.-
so they know the problem is probably due to AF module misalignment. Because it's odd to see centre and right focus point able to focus properly while the left side always appear OOF.

Added on April 13, 2012, 10:16 ambecause if the sensor is misaligned, using liveview will yield some odd shift in focal plane. . . .

That's why I say LiveView will yield different result and will show spot on. LoL, your reply like disagree, but then you said back the same thing back? LoL.

Anyway, I think I misunderstood from your initial statement.

hmm. . . if sensor is misaligned, it's not true that it will always get perfect focus in liveview.

Thanks, that's extreme cases?
Most issue people face is either back/front focus by body AF or lens.

nice share. Ive always been on sRGB since long ago. And never bothered to try out other color space. Will give the others a try.

On subject of printing, there is lots to learn about that. Im still trying to figure out whats the best print out. Hmm..

beside color profile, the printer and paper is equally important as well

haha thats why been all around the printers looking for one which suits my taste.
