1. Manual lens usage for D80

D80 can use a manual lens with a Nikon F bayonet, such as Zeiss's ZF lens, but it can only use the M file! Because D80 does not support the input of non-CPU lens data, cosina made two new freunda lens 58f1. 4 and 40f2 because the lens is equipped with an electronic chip, you can use file a on D80 instead. However, manual lenses require manual focus, even on d3. However, all Nikon's digital slrs currently have electronic focal points for manual lenses.

The Nikon manual lens focal tip is completed by the electronic range finder on the fuselage. The D80 electronic Range Finder is only effective at the f5.6 or above aperture, that is to say, when the aperture of your manual lens is F8, the electronic Range Finder is actually invalid because it is limited in the measurement distance after all! The data released by Nikon is that the D80 electronic Range Finder is the most accurate in f2.8!

If you want to use the top flashlight, remember to set the top flashlight to m in the settings menu. Similarly, an external flash like sb800 cannot use the TTL mode. I generally use the M mode.

2. D80 cannot focus

We recommend that you check whether the aperture of the lens is at the minimum aperture and locked. If there is no g head of the aperture ring, this problem does not occur. The second is to see whether the switch dial on the body is dialed in the M file, and finally to see whether the set menu is set to Af-on, that is, using the "AE-L/AF-L" that button focus.

3. Flashlight Problems

As mentioned above, if you want to use a manual lens to use the camera top flash, you must remember to set the camera top flash to m in the settings menu. If you want to wirelessly control the sb800 from the system, remember to set the flashlight mode to C command mode in the menu, and you must enable the host top flash when the system is flashing; otherwise, the system cannot flash.

Sb800 can find the remot wireless mode and SU-4 flash, SU-4 can flash, in other words, as long as you can feel the flash can flash, but the photosensitive degree is not high, therefore, when the light is strong, flashing is often ineffective.

4. Flashlight for manual head

If you want to use the top flashlight, remember to set the top flashlight to m in the settings menu. Similarly, an external flash like sb800 cannot use the TTL mode. I generally use the M mode. However, an external flashlight such as sb800 can also use the-class aperture mode. As long as you set the aperture on the sb800, it will determine the distance that the current flash can cover, and automatically control the output in the effective distance, which makes it easy for you to adjust the camera position during shooting. For example, you don't always have to adjust the camera position as you do in the M file. But at this time, the shutter speed cannot exceed the synchronized shutter speed of the fuselage, And the D80 is 1/200 seconds.

How to Set D80 portraits ?!

1. If you want to clear a portrait, you must stick to the raw format.

2. color phase + 3 degrees, saturation-1, sharpness default, other options can be not adjusted. Since the white balance is in raw format, it can be processed later. The color phase + 3 is used to remove "Nikon yellow". Reducing saturation is to retain as much details as possible to avoid the most likely Red overflow of Nikon cameras. This setting is especially suitable for sugar credits. The skin is white and red. You can adjust the curve later.

3. Adjust raw files in nx2. Adjust the exposure and color temperature as much as possible based on the photo style. If you encounter any special problem, you can consider generating TIFF files and then processing them in PS.

4. You can use the NX plug-in color Efex Pro 3.0 NEF update tool to produce a variety of effects. The loss of raw files is the smallest, and it is best to adjust the basic items in NX.

Nikon D80 usage tips-metering Mode
In the three metering modes of D80, in the full manual mode, in the scenario with bright background, first use 3D matrix color to measure the light. After the bottom line in the viewfinder shows normal, the camera does not move or focus, adjusted to the central key light measurement, you will find that the exposure index of the bottom line of the viewfinder shifts left 1-2 cells (the exposure index is calculated using the default 1/3ev of the camera ). That is to say, the same focus, the same amount of light passing, the same situation, the central focus of light measurement will be less than the 3D matrix light exposure 1-2 1/3ev unit, continue the above operation, then, when the light is measured, the exposure index of the bottom line of the viewfinder will be shifted to 1-2 grids. This shows that the spot light will be less exposed than the central light measurement, and 1-2 1/3 eV exposures.
The above is the normal measured data in the case of a stable camera with bright background and the same aperture and shutter. the above description shows that in most cases, matrix lighting is used to take care of the exposure index of most scenarios around 75% (just like the exposure difference of a Small DC is not much, so many friends say that a small DC does not have an inaccurate exposure problem, in fact, the Small DC is based on this exposure. For the sake of insurance, it will not be underexposed, and all the films are correct.) At this time, there are plenty of exposures, generally, it will not be underexposed. In some cases, it will be overexposed, which is suitable for landscape shooting.
The central key light measure is suitable for measuring the key parts of portraits, such as the face and eyes.
Point metering is basically based on a certain point Image 2. 5-3% of the part of the metering, this is suitable for close-up, micro-distance and other light metering needs creative photography, is a favorite of experienced photographers, in the later stage, you can adjust the strong contrast between the light and shade, or the background is a pure black and pure white close-up. For example, the distance of the lotus flower is measured on the white lotus petals, regardless of the background, and the light comparison is adjusted on the computer later. After the film is released, the Lotus background is generally black, clean lisuo: if it is a silhouette of the Sun and the sunset, the light is measured on the bright background, and the background of the figures and buildings is black, which also achieves the effect of silhouette. For a small DC, there is basically no metering point, and even some are not very sound.
Based on the above: the three metering modes of D80 are:
1. The 3D matrix light is exposed, but the shutter must be slower or the aperture must be larger. Compared with the point light measurement, the exposure index should be larger than the point light measurement Level 2-3 1/3ev, and the aperture should be nearly two levels larger than the point test, or the shutter should be two levels slower.
2. The central key optical indicator is the most accurate exposure, but the 3D matrix is less than 1-2 levels of 1/3 eV, the same as the point optical indicator over 1-2 levels of 1/3 eV, the shutter is faster than the matrix light measurement level, and the aperture can be smaller than the point light measurement shutter level 1, and the aperture Level 1. It is in the center of the entire optical measurement and is relatively balanced.
3. Point metering. It is the mode with the smallest exposure index, but it is also less exposed than 3D matrix light measurement, level 2-3 1/3ev. But the shutter speed is faster and the aperture can be smaller.
