D5 Firmware Update

Apr 2, 2018 | Random Thoughts

There was a D5 Firmware Update you might wanna install. It updates:

• Fixed the following issue:
– The camera sometimes had difficulty focusing on subjects in focus points at the edges of the frame.

There was also one for the V2 and V3.

Welcome to Moose’s 7th live stream! We’re going to talk about the Settings and Menu items that can make your photography more successful and fun. I’ll provide some thought behind them and how to apply them. I’ll be live, taking your questions as well so come with your list! So tune in and chime in with me tonight 6PM PST!

“The Backup”
From gear to the computer, backing up for “protection” is a really great common question. That’s because what’s at stack are our gorgeous images, those memories that are near and dear to us. The last thing you want is to crash and burn!

D850 Filmmaker Kit

Mar 20, 2018 | Random Thoughts

As a filmmaker with a couple of D850 in the locker devoted to just filmmaking, I was very excited to see Nikon today announce their D850 Filmmaker Kit! Besides including the incredible D850, the kit includes:

AF-S NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8G ED Lens
AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G ED Lens
AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G Lens
Spare EN-EL15a Lithium-Ion Battery
ME-1 Stereo Microphone
ME-W1 Wireless Microphone Set (these are great!)
Atomos Ninja Flame 7″ Recording Monitor

This kit is a $800 in savings! Nikon has posted an informational site on the kit here. I’m told it will start shipping the 27th so you can preorder now. And after my own experience with the MB-D18, I wouldn’t be stupid like me and wait, I’d jump on it now!

“The Quest for Knowledge”
The drive so many photographers use to go out every day with their camera is the quest for knowledge! This quest can take two directions, both as satisfying and involve a camera but are very different roads.
