Sounds like you’ve got the wrong digital camera for your needs.

You can lock aperture and shutter settings on many digital cameras. I used to do it regularly when studio shooting products for catalogues. Like I said, maybe you’ve got the wrong camera for your particular needs.

Allen, you have either misinterpreted what I said or decided to be confrontational and unnecessarily insulting. Stop and take a deep breath…. You said you couldn’t manually control aperture & shutter ….you can. I’ve done it for 25years since I went digital. You said you were moving the dials and losing settings….you can lock the aperture & shutter. I do it regularly. My simple point was, if your digital camera hasn’t got these features which you deem important, then change it. I have been through more than a dozen digital cameras over this time, even changing the camera for specific jobs. No matter how much experience you may have accumulated over the years, when it comes to a new technology we all have to accept there is always something more to learn. I thought that was why you joined the forum? Please note : I have made no comments about your train photograph and burnt out sun problems because I was assured with your experience you would know exactly what you did wrong. So please accept that no one is trying to denegrate your long experience. There are already people on this forum with more experience than me ……and maybe even you. Until you start engaging with them rather than attacking every comment or suggestion, you will never know. We can all learn something we didn’t know.

Hi Eric- he has departed - I don't think he ever wanted any advice! It seems to me that all he wanted was to pick an argument, we can do without that sort of member  Well I have learnt about locking the aperture and shutter - did not know that - but it seems that the D610 doesn't have that functon or I haven't found it!

It seems to me that all he wanted was to pick an argument, we can do without that sort of member Not all Nikon cameras have that feature….that was my point about changing camera. However had he come back to discuss in a civil manner, I might have been able to advise him that he didn’t need to change his camera as his D700 DOES have that feature. All he needed to do was RTFM……page 326 to be exact….  Click here to comment on this image. It’s also sad, because instead of spouting on about all the things he has done and how expert he was, he didn’t give any time to get to know us. Had he done so he might have realised that we ALL have skills and interesting experiences often hidden under our bushels. I only had to share a meal and a few glasses with a certain forum member to realise how much of a sheltered life I have led.  But then, I did present one of my own wildlife documentary films to the Queen & Queen Mother at a select gathering at Sandringham in the 1980’s…….never got a Royal Warrant on my projector though.
