I am using a 995 and I have the following exposure question: When using the the camera's self contained flash, how does the camera calculate the automatic...
Indoors or outside? Outdoors forced flash automatically acts as fill flash to supplement ambient light. Indoors if the camera senses exposure that requires a...
It's been about five months since I used my CoolPix 990 because I've been shooting with the CP5K on loan from Nikon. We had to shoot some family pictures...
... Thanks for the response Larry, but you really have not answered my question. Perhaps I was not clear. I'm using the "flash always" setting. If I let the...
I assume you're referring to out doors. The camera is automatically setting the flash for fill and doesn't overexpose unless you're too close to the subject...
I've now posted many pictures from my recent trip to Japan. All taken with my 990 which continues to provide incredible service to me. I will also be looking...

Hi group, I have been away from the list for several months. What is the latest thinking on best 256M compact flash card and source. TIA...vDog...

In the text file that accompanies the photos in a folder, shown below, I'm confused by the "FOCAL LENGTH" listing. I wasn't 8.2 feet from the subject and I...
Look on the front of your lens and read the focal length. On my CP990 it says 8-24mm which means at the wide angle setting I'm shooting at 8mm focal length....
Hi Lee, Nice light on the Geishas. I've been preaching about shooting flash that way for two years and it's nice to see someone else getting good results doing...
Thanks for sharing those - it brought back lots of memories! Yes, it can be very wet in Kyoto, and yes, you would have enjoyed the bullet train! David...
When you have the camera set to 'anytime flash' (fill flash) it basically disregards the flash in computing the exposure. By that I mean it meters ambient...
Hi Larry, Do you think you could put a full 35mm SLR or DSLR with a telephoto lens on this tripod? Have you tried it with anything other than the 990 and 5000?...
... would be changed. I REALLY hated this. Admittedly, if trying to run at the most open f-stop, it would have to change, but at an intermediat f-stop, I...
... The focal length of a lens is the distance behind it at which an object at infinity in front of it will be in focus. It is a property of the lens, and...
It's a great tripod for the cameras I'm using it for. For anything else I'd consider it a backup. I own four different size Gitzo tripods. But when using a...
The problem with your suggestion is that you loose my favored shutter speed setting of 1000 for these shots. When I tried the Aperture Mode, I got fuzzy...
Thanks for the information. I think I've been rummaging around the photo newsgroups and I've found the Velbon is probably too light for a full size SLR or...
From: "mentalblock_DMD" <mntlblok@...> ... It is a precise way of indicating if your lens is at a wide-angle, normal or telephoto position. The range...
Speaking of Self Timer.... The only mode where it works is close-up combined with self timer. I wanted to preset my focus using manual focus and still take...
The self timer method has been around for years and has always been regarded as the best method for taking pictures without moving the camera without a cable...

Thank you, very much. I just love smart people. I now know that I never need to pay any attention to that line again. :-) I was trying to run down a problem...
Excellent. Thank you, very much. I now understand that I can use that line of text to tell me about where I was between T and W for that shot. Kevin ... It...
