I actually had Easy Exposure Compensation on for a try recently, but switched it back off because the camera readings confused me and didn't seem accurate. Watching your Video made me take another try, prooving to myself why it was a bad idea - but then I noticed that it wasn't the case at all. It was just me getting confused by the camera readings. The thing was, when the camera is unable to set my desired exposure, the reading wouldn't show me the set EC anymore, but the current exposure offset from what I want (usually "too dark"). So while I thought my EC was accidently set to -2, I bumped it up even further, saw no change (because it was still too dark) and finaly missed the shot. -- Now I know that when my camera is unable to set my desired exposure, the icon starts flashing to warn me. Yes, I didn't notice that before, so two things learned with one lesson. I think I can call that a win!

The easy exposure comp setting is an hidden gem! Not only does it make it fast to adjust the compensation, but it also automatically resets itself to 0 when the camera goes in standby mode. I don’t know you but I often forget to reset that kind of setting! The auto reset makes it way more efficient than any dedicated dial...

Outstanding tips! I'm trying to set my camera up for flash compensation when shooting in TTL mode. Is that possible? I use SB910/ SB900 off camera using a cord attached to the cameras flash hotshoe. I'd like to be able to adjust flash output from the camera body rather than the flash's own menu/buttons.

There is an even nicer way for ISO settigns IMO. You can use the movie record button (the red one) and assign it to be the ISO button. It is very close to where the ISO button used to be and works with the dials without turning on the screen! You find it under the f9 settings.

I use exposure delay in combination with timer and mirror-up mode when photographing events like lunar or solar eclipses. Pressing the shutter release will initiate a 3-second pause, followed by mirror-up, a timed-delay and then the exposure. Though, perhaps a bit AR, it's a great way to allow vibration from pushing the shutter release or mirror slap to dissipate, before the exposure is made.
@backcountrygallery

Hi Bill - On all my Nikons, the camera automatically locks up the mirror in exposure delay mode, even if you're in something like CH (I honestly jus noticed this when putting this video together - I always switched to M UP mode too). However, I also noticed that on cameras with electronic front curtain enabled, when you switch to M UP mode, the camera will lock up the mirror and the first curtain of the mechanical shutter - avoiding mirror slap and shutter shock.

Hey Steve, I have both your books and looking forward to your third! I was wondering something, and maybe you'll be covering it in your new exposure book. I use spot metering most of the time on my D850 and a manual focal point. Is there a way to spot meter SOLELY based on the focal point (like if I move the focus box to the top right corner to frame my shot, can I meter off that point?). I had issues on a shoot last week because there's not a marker for spot metering and I think I was metering the wrong area. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!
@backcountrygallery
6 жыл бұрын
The D850 links the spot meter to the AF point automatically. However, keep in mind that the spot meter is still susceptible to overexposing dark areas and under exposing white areas like any meter. It's all in the new book :)

Yes, once you format, the info is gone. So, I'd either save it to your memory card or copy the .BIN file to your computer. If you need to restore, you can copy it back to a memory card (I've tested it).

Hey Steve, just wondering how you like the MagMod wildlife kit shown in the thumbnail? I used it with my 200-500 last year but usually found it more trouble than it was worth regarding steel eye in bird shots. I even tried mounting it on a height extender which helped a bit but made it very unwieldy unless on a tripod. Maybe I wasn't using it under optimal conditions?
@backcountrygallery
6 жыл бұрын
It's a pain, but when you need it, you need it. It is very awkward on a tripod, always wants to "roll over" but still, sometimes you need fill and it's a good way to go. For much of my closeup work, I'm very close to the bird so the flash on the camera is high enough that I don't get steel-eye / red-eye etc for birds. Of course, the greater the distance, the more likely you'll have problems.

The biggest difference is that exposure delay locks up the mirror, the timer does not. Also, you can set the exposure ideally for less time than the time (the timer only goes down to 2 seconds, you can use 1 second or even less with exposure delay, depending on the camera).
