just google for the basics of photography then learn from there and most important SHOOT MORE!!

As I read before, it's not accurate and it needs to be tuned every once in a while.

I bought the digital hygrometer, I tried measure the humidify level inside the camera bag in the cupboard before, the humidity level is below 45. The digital hygrometer will also record max humidity level and min humidity level so you can check what's the highest humidity level and what's the lowest humidity level. So far, seems it's below 45.

my D70s put in camera bag for years still nothing happen

ya from the age i purchase till now. sent to service no report of fungus. only sensor dirty

anyone has experiences with the J1/V1 video recording mode? i discovered that the AF-Single isn't usable as it record the AF motor noise whenever i attempt to half-press the shutter button, although it isn't loud but still. i think the AF noise is also due to the dimmer lighting focus method (contrast-detect? was testing indoor) and it's audible without sticking the ear close to the camera, so it's normal to hear that when the built-in mics are so close?

funny enough, the AF-Fulltime mode focused really well and fast but completely silent. guess i'll just use the AF-F all the time then?

thank you

too bad not mine

Some Scenery by My Photo loh, on Flickr
so what do you think?

i never try AF-F, i heard full time is not really accurate all the time

use manual focus if you can

nice shot, would be better if those black cloud is not there

So when D600?

at least it's completely silent, better than robotcop handling the camera. the AF-F so far very accurate and fast, try to zoom in and out (by moving the camera, only got pancake lens) slowly it'll stay in focus all the time..just want to find out if it's normal, but I gues it most probably is.

manual? not with the puny little low res display though, and no peaking assist like rx100.

you wan try my D70s screen display or not?

you got OVF mah...

He's using the Nikon1. It comes with Hybrid AF.
Anyway, mirrorless is known to have smooth, fast, and accurate AF especially for videos. Even Sony's SLT have super fast and smooth autofocus for videos.

For Nikon1, you can watch some YouTube demo and comparison. They tested and compared it's autofocus mode (tracking) for moving subject against the Panasonic G series, it's very fast and accurate.

Not really sure about the sound, but if not wrong, they have a special lens for movie which supposed to be silent and have smooth focusing.

As for manual focus, I'm not sure how Nikon1's lens. I think it's not easy to use manual focus with the lens. Even for DSLR, it's not easy to do it and manual focusing can introduce "shake"; When I took video previously with DSLR, I try to minimize touching the camera, so I fix the focus instead.

Hi All,
