Comments on: What works and doesn’t work http://www.diyphotobits.com/2008/12/10/what-works-and-doesnt-work/ A few bits and pieces about photography Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:11:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Brian http://www.diyphotobits.com/2008/12/10/what-works-and-doesnt-work/comment-page-4/#comment-11471 Brian Tue, 24 Jan 2012 05:37:48 +0000 http://www.diyphotobits.com/2008/12/10/what-works-and-doesnt-work/#comment-11471 Tried this program with my new D700o this evening. It seems to work okay... I can't seem to change the shooting mode from Program to Aperature Priorty, to Shutter Priority, or to manual through the program... It doesn't detect the mode when I physically change the mode dial on the camera either... However, It seems to recognize the mode at program startup. Once recognized properly, I'm able to adjust the aperature or shutter depending on the mode detected. It will, however, take changes to iso, white balance, and exposure compensation via the program. Bracketing seems to work only if not using the built-in flash; when using the built-in flash, it uses the standard 1/60 shutter setting on all pictures. Haven't tested with my hot-shoe flash, SB600 though... Also, it only seems to work when online. Kind of wish that it didn't need an Internet connection.... Sometimes, I don't have a connection available... That's about all. Great program for what it costs. Tried this program with my new D700o this evening.

Shooting remotely wasn't even on my shopping list, so I am not just pleased, I feel like I won the photo lottery (minus the D3X and private island :). Your chart has 1 report on a D5000, user said only fired remotely on manual, but everything worked for me. I'm using Win7 home premium. I still don't have the synch-viewer for RAW, but I'll swallow the extra memory & shoot JPEGs at the same time. Really, thank you very much. Awesome program. Hi-

The time between shutter releases doesn't match the required time entered in the GUI, but this could be down to the Laptop running a tad "hot". But all in all, very pleased, thank you!
