Hey gang.
I'll try and keep this short and to the point(s)
1-I had the AF and Meter board replaced in the D2H last fall.I have only used
it on a few
flash pictures
since then,but i took it to my daughter final out door tune up show and shot a
few. The 3d
matrix
metering seems to over expose now, about 0.7 to 1.0 with major right hand
highlite spikes
and
midtones are right up to the "roof" of the histo box.
I;m calling Nikon re this,to see if it something a computer check up will
fix,however, i
notice now that
the histo has 'spikes' all through it were it did not before. Picture a nice
smooth
mountain with sticks
poppin up in various places. Anyone tell me why its would do that.Similar to
what one
would look like
after using auto levels. Those kind of spikes,but they shoot up through and
past the main
body of
thehisto.
I dont get that on the istD,just a nice smooth histo,and i dont remember the
d2h doing
that before.
Actually prior to the baord going south,the 3d matrix worked pretty well
I have asked this on my nikon board but i'm being avoided:-(.
2-Turned on the computer last night and got a message that XP has not been
activated,please do so
now.Only problem is it was activated when i bought the unit over two years ago.
I have
upgraded to
SP2. Would this indicate some sort of invasion in my computer.??I have had turn
on
problems lately.
3-Tried to take a few squirrel and Bluejay pictures in the backyard with the
istD and
Sigma 300f4. I just
noticed it says macro on the lens. Is this activated with that limit/full
switch.?
I googled the lens but came up empty.
