the one complaint i have heard from other d7100 users and i found myself is the camera straight out of the box under exposes ,meaning positive exposure compensation needed and leading with long lenses to slower shutter speeds and/or higher iso .this also has tended to induce noise . i sat down with the manual this morning and found out that the exposure for each metering type can be manually adjusted in the menu system ,so i dialed in 2 bars minus compensation as my zero marker and hi-ho its now running like a finely tuned nikon ,happy daze . heres a house martin in fly past mode after tuning up the camera  LEARNING THE GAME by blackfox wildlife & nature imaging, on Flickr and a swallow popped in to say hello to ,both shots 500mm hand held the swallow using the handy 1.3 crop mode .  i think this is my best side jeff by blackfox wildlife & nature imaging, on Flickr

How much crop on that swallow and at what distance from camera?. I cant get an image like that from 20feet away where they sit on the telephone line. I guess you are only 6-8feet away.

nope your a bit out jk original image was 24mp cropped down to 4 mp distance to subject 39 feet or 12mtrs ,both shots hand held 300mm lens plus 1.7tc giving focal length of 500mm and for the house martin same sized crop and distance to subject was 98ft or 30metres . both figures taken from exif info and looking at the exif i didn't use the 1.3 camera crop mode as i initially though

Still marvel at your handholding Jeff. I photographed a tawny owl in my garden yesterday. It sat perfectly still looking straight at me. My handheld 450mm shots looked like it was doing a Salsa in a hurricane. Not going to be displayed!

I cant see the distance information on my EXIF even using the latest lenses on my D3S. Which software are you using to get the Distance information ?

Well you see I dont use Aperture and I do my cataloguing in Lightroom which doesnt show it either as I have it set up. I always forget that Photoshop has all the bells and whistles. I know that it shows in Nikon CNX2 but that is so slow compared to Bibble5/Aftershot Pro that I never use it. Since I moved from Windows to Mac in 2007 the only thing I miss is iMatch which had really fast and good for cataloguing and getting image EXIF data. Like I always say there is no perfect software!
