Now we have flat profile for video I'm wondering why but still we can't change aperture in live view. Not to mention waveform, zebras, false color. Like they don't want to sell theirs products to people with video needs.
The Flat picture style really does a great job capturing the most dynamic range of the Nikon D Using an EVF or a monitor and lenses with aperture control help when shooting video with this camera. I might be biased though as I don't have large hands. Nikon D is missing dept.
I checked the out at BestBuy today and compared it with the , and I think I like the grip on the better. There's more space for your hand between the grip and the lens on the And the size difference is barely noticeable if at all.
Anyone who isn't a complete novice will probably want the which isn't much bigger than the though way more versatile. But all in all, a really nice camera. That's true, I went for the D only because I didn't have the cash for D But it's also a good start for a first time dslr. Especially because of nice image quality, similar or same like more expensive models. I am waiting for Nikon to make a dx dslr that has articulated screen with buit in motor drive.
Something like a D with the articulated screen. Lots of luck ever getting a built-in motor drive on a D class body. I wouldn't hold my breath. I guess I used the wrong word, not so much a motor drive as in shutter releases. But a built in focus motor I guess is what I mean. I was refering to the I would like a Nikon with built in focus motor and a articulated screen, thats a dx camera.
I can't afford an FX model. Sorry for the confusion. Yes me too! I have a three AF screw lenses they were a gift. Still a newb though. WE ARE waiting for it!!!!! One good viewfinder away from being a really good deal for its class. Pentax historically have pwned in this category- much larger viewfinders in their class.
Sorry with EVFs being so good, a lack of a really good optical finder like this is a big issue with me. These small viewfinders rebel cameras too are so half a decade ago old. Does anyone have any insights on the lack of a front control dial? Surely it can't cost a great deal? I imagine there are many photographers who would be absolutely fine with the AF, FPS etc of the D, and may not even care about a second LCD, but would have to really consider going up to the D7xxx just for that extra manual control.
I'd like to think it's not an entirely cynical move, maybe some people are afraid of the extra controls? But honestly can't those people just keep using auto and ignore an extra dial anyway The reason is they want you to go to the more expensive model for that extra dial. They try hard to make a distinctive difference between their models. It's just a software feature. What I ended up doing with the D is dropping the exposure compensation by that amount and then bracketing, which worked fine in most situations.
I too Encounter with my D the overexposure problem by the way, it was a Problem, that i did not Encounter with my beloved but old D Can I please ask you a question: When bracketing with the D Around one 10th of the times? Or less? Does the D have a way to bias the meter, like you can with the D, D, etc. Momentarily forgetting. Can check tomorrow It'd be in the metering menu, btw.
Rishi: my sincere apologies. It is only now, that I realized that you were answering my question to another team-member of the excellent dpreview team. Yes, with the D too I can bias the meter; either through the "exposure compensation" button as Jeff described in his review; or through the "Brightness" Option of "Picture Control Settings". The Problem however, is that such biasing will also affect those many fotos that would otherwise be correctly metered.
This is just shifting the problem from one subset of photos that would be otherwise overexposed to another subset of photos that would otherwise be correctly metered. In his review, Jeff therefore suggested use of Exposure bracketing.
Hoping Nikon will address the problem. Pretty sure Jeff was commenting that the camera in general overexposes by a bit. You should be able to fix this by biasing the meter, but honestly I can't remember if the D has this option.
The higher end cameras do. Just kidding, of course :. I was considering the D and even the D's still lying around just to save a little coin. But no, once I held the D in my hand, the decision was made instantly. Please stop speaking about a product you didn't even handle. I bought D though I was reluctant in the beginning. The articulating screen is another boon I'm not going to pass, this is why I discarded D Actually, D competes with my Sony RX10 for street photography and events.

Check out this two-minute video from PHLEARN to find out how to give your image a cinematic look , complete with black cinematic bars, which will reduce your aspect ratio to Steps for changing the aspect ratio in Photoshop Example image by quangle on Pixabay :.
If you only have the width and height in pixels, an aspect ratio calculator will come in handy. Just enter the size of your print as the ratio in the width and height boxes, just as you did in the example above for example, 8. Even now, when so many decisions can be made for us with a click of a button on the DSLR, aspect ratios are not something to take for granted. Consider the impact social media has had on the aspect ratio :. Catering to smartphone users, Instagram popularized the square format.
Although a ratio would cut details out of, say, a ratio substantially, a photo or video can look a lot more attractive when framed by your cell phone. This ratio has also appeared on Facebook. And 60 percent of those users only access their accounts from their phones. So as you can see, our increasingly mobile lifestyles dictate a lot about aspect ratio use on the internet. First, you should continue to pay attention to the ratios online technology requires. If those sound contradictory, welcome to aspect ratios!
To get the best results without confining yourself to one or two ultra-basic choices, remember:. Most of all, have fun with it. Aspect ratios offer a lot of potential for creativity now that you understand them. Go out and try something new today! Maggie King is a freelance writer, photo editor, and mother of three.

A ratio like this means the image on the screen may be smaller than it was originally, or the edges have been cut off so the image can fit onto your screen. Your TV for example, those equipped with HDTV has an aspect ratio of this is a widescreen format, where the width is just about twice as long as the height.
This type of ratio captures the effects of high definition technology to their fullest. Your local in-theater or home movie theaters typically have an aspect ratio of 2. This ratio is specially designed to help you become immersed in the show. First of all, an aspect ratio starts with the number associated with the width, separated by a colon from the number associated with the height, like so: x:y the width always comes first The x:y is an expression of a ratio, so you will encounter different sizes of photographs that use the same ratio.
Image by WikimediaImages from Pixabay. Why Is Aspect Ratio Important? For Aesthetic Reasons Changing the ratio will impact where your subject is positioned in relation to the sides of the frame. If you have an important feature positioned near an edge, you could lose it altogether with the wrong ratio. Your aspect ratio can be used to convey emotion. For example, a ratio of allows for negative space within a photograph. You can use this space to create an expansive quality in your landscape or evoke feelings of loneliness and isolation in your portrait.
A vertical image may be too roomy at a ratio of , while a ratio of could give the photo a snugger frame, resulting in a more appealing composition. Ratio Problems to Avoid If you shot according to the rule of thirds using a ratio, and then needed to create prints with a ratio, the composition of the shot may not adhere to the rule of thirds anymore. If you try to shoot in or with this sensor, you may end up having to crop your photo substantially which will mean a drop in image quality.
To avoid this issue, you may want to consider purchasing a camera with a larger sensor size. You would need to use a technique designed to capture just one frame for movement like this, instead of multiple ones as in exposure bracketing. In images with a shallow to moderate depth of field, you generally have one point of focus that is the most important of any point in your image. For example, in a portrait, the eyes should always be at the height of focus unless you have a specific reason for choosing otherwise.
The shallow depth of field involved in both of those situations makes it very tricky to achieve a proper amount of focus. Focus bracketing can be a bit different than other photography techniques, as you may have to get a little physical by changing positions or manually adjusting your lens.
An ultra-shallow depth of field calls for precision focus. Some of the most experienced photographers still choose to bracket their focus to ensure that the most important details come out razor sharp. Exposure bracketing is not what it used to be. For starters, now that we have digital technology, the technique is much less wasteful in terms of film, developing supplies and in some cases, printing. With the advent of technological advancements, you can take a deep dive into exposure bracketing with no real risk.
You may start by taking a series of three to seven shots, but then HDR may reel you in. The idea of bracketing in the first place is to save your behind if you miss the perfect shot, so always edit non-destructively. If you choose to combine images for HDR, save the originals separately. Cover your bases with exposures from either side of the recommended setting, and have fun exploring the possibilities bracketing and HDR have to offer!

Then, press the shutter typically three times to take your bracketed shots. Manual Exposure Bracketing Auto is a lifesaver under the right circumstances, but some photographers may want more control over their images.
