    Hello, please help with this problem.
    The subject of shooting does not always fall into sharpness. And in daylight and cloudy weather. Frames with 100% focus hit only with manual focus. The problem is with the kit lens and 35mm.

      It is very difficult to help you in absentia with such a minimum of initial data. Guiding questions: did you get into focus before, on the same lenses? if there are other lenses besides the ones mentioned above, how does it behave on them? what modes do you use? hit / drop the camera / lenses?

    Good afternoon, please tell me what is better to choose:
    Nikon D3100 body
    Nikon D3200 body
    Nikon D5100 body
    Price up to 13000 rubles

    Nikon D3300 body
    Nikon D3400 body
    Nikon D5200 body
    Nikon D5300 body
    Nikon D7000 body
    Price from 16000 to 20000 rubles

    + lens (which one?)
    The camera is bought mainly for shooting goods in an internet store and social networks (leather goods: backpacks, bags, belts, wallets).
    Which camera from the above is better to buy for photographing my products, is it worth overpaying several thousand for cameras from the second list?
    What lens to buy for high-quality shooting of leather goods?
    What else do you need to take high-quality photos of catalog products?

    The D90 is certainly better in body and ergonomics, but in terms of the matrix and the picture, especially at high ISO, it will greatly lose to the D5100…. There would be a matrix from d5100 and a wonderful balanced camera.

        d7000 is noticeably more expensive on the secondary, but they are also usually killed) And d5100 is simply almost new to find. And yes, the 7000 is a very balanced camera.

    Today I purchased this unit ... as a second camera. Previously, the function of the second camera was performed by the D3100, but after reading the reviews, I realized that I needed to upgrade! Yes, and a rotary screen is needed ... well, and ... apparently, if compared with the d3100, the upgrade was worth it !!! Recommend!

    Good day!
    I bought myself a virgin D5100, so much so that for the first time I wondered about the "reference picture" - for the first time I come across it. there was no point in doing it on the existing D5000.
    Tell me - are there any special settings or “wishes” for such a picture?
    Thank you in advance for your reply!

    Hello. The other day I bought a Nikon D5100 with a range of 2150 frames. I liked the camera, but there is one BUT. My old Nikon D50 camera had an extra display for quick setup. The Nikon D5100 has to constantly open and flip the monitor. I don't really like this moment. On the one hand, it is good that it can be turned over for transportation, on the other hand, there is a high probability of accidentally breaking it. On Nikon D3xxx, the monitor is always facing out. I would like the Nikon D5100 monitor for the most part to stand with the display facing out, and only turn it over with its back for long-term storage.
    Question. Now there are armored films for cell phones. Their thickness is about 0,5-0,8mm.
    If you stick this film on the monitor, will the monitor close for shipping?
    Or is it better to stick a simple thin film?
    Is it possible with this film to keep the monitor with the display out for a long time like in Nikon D3xxx? It hurts not to bother him all the time ...
    Who solved this problem how?

      The camera is old and inexpensive, I see no reason to bother with this at all. The display will be blurred only with very, very, very intensive shooting. Set it in an active position and shoot as much as you can, without ever worrying about this trifle.

      This is genius. If you wanted to, then you had to take D3xxx.

      Why would you turn it over with the film into the "transport position"? They glued on the usual film, not even "armored", and that's it.

      I own the same model. Since the device lives in a good bag with a soft inner lining, I don’t warm my head. But on Nikon 3100, which was taken to travel around all sorts of fucking, I'm going to stick an armored film for the screens of smartphones, but my hands do not reach it.

      Good day!
      I glued the film on the d5000 in the same way, turned the screen “face” on a permanent basis (so as not to open / close it all the time), as a result of 3,5 years, the flight was absolutely magnificent. I wear it when transporting in a photo backpack.

    "The camera is old and inexpensive, I see no reason to bother with this at all." The model is old, but the camera is almost new ... sorry for the atnak ...

    Another question arose: I read that the Nikon D5100 pops up a message about a low battery and it stops shooting. Yesterday, when testing the camera, I got a message about a discharged Akum with an indicator of 20-25% and he stopped taking pictures.
    What is the cause of this phenomenon? Features of Akum? Camera firmware glitch? How to deal with this?
    I already know about the spare Akum.
    Maybe there are some thread corrected or office. head firmware?

      This is not a glitch, but a feature. Perhaps the battery is really old and worn out or dying. It's not worth getting into the firmware.

    Thanks Arkady for the answers.
    There is one more question. In the "Settings menu" I found the "Firmware version" window.
    Three firmware versions open in the drop-down window: A-1.02, B-1.01, L-1.009.
    What does this mean and how do you use it?

      If you carefully read the description of the firmware on the official Nikon page - then (for example A-1.02, B-1.01, L-1.009) one of its parts (in this example it is L) is the firmware section responsible for correcting the distortion "pillow" - "Barrel" for various models of lenses used. Moreover, in the same place, on the download page, you can see a table of lens models for which the adjustment is made, and in what cases. An attempt to thoughtlessly “crawl in and play around” in this file can lead to the successful turning of the device ...

    In firmware version A-1.02 / firmware B-1.01
    - Time-lapse mode: approx. 700 shots (CIPA standard *).
    - Continuous Shooting Mode: Approx. 2650 shots (Nikon standard *).
    I can't understand, do I already have updated firmware?
    If the firmware is updated, and Akum is barely enough for 100-120 frames, then I will have a problem in Akum ...

      Yes, most likely the battery is half-dead. By the way, when trying to purchase compatible batteries, it may turn out that: 1) The batteries will not work on the device, which he will honestly warn about; and 2) all sorts of Chinese products "based on" are of disgusting quality, either not charging, or losing charge for several days. And if nothing can be done with the second one, except for replacing the dead one with another (less dead one), then with the first problem everything can be solved - there are tricky modifiers of the original firmware that allow you to carry out many interesting manipulations, for example, turn off the check for the originality of batteries, remove the time limit for continuous videos, etc.

    “The D5100 does not have a choice of RAW compression levels and a choice of color depth ...” And whoever has compared it with the d7000. Raw with 5100 which settings on d7000 corresponds to. In terms of color depth, as I understand it, 14bit without the option of switching to 12. But what is the compression ratio? The one that gives out the highest quality, or the one that saves space on the map?

    Once again, I'm thinking of buying something from the D5100, D3200 so that I don't mind using it in winter in cold weather. Why in the next? Because I had them, but I sold them because of the triviality. Here it is: I like these devices, but I am bespectacled with -2.25 diopters and I wear glasses. It is inconvenient to shoot through the viewfinder with glasses, and if you shoot without them, then the diopter adjustment in the viewfinder of the Nikon D5x .., D3x ... rulers does not reach the correction I need. There is no such problem in older models. And then look for either an eyecup with a dopplens, which are not in Belarus, or found in Ukraine, but for $ 25. Well nafig for that kind of money. Kenon has no such problems. But something did not come to me 600 \ 650 \ 700 series from kenon. Yes, and having a full-frame old Nikon D700, I have, respectively, some optics for Nikon and flash. Therefore, the canon is not particularly considered. By the way, the lens from Jungnow 100mm f 2.0 is very good both at full frame and at crop. The only thing that is very afraid of the slightest backlight. Just a little gets in and the picture fades. The Chinese quickly solved the problem with overexposure of this camera with firmware. On the D90, by the way, the focus, before the lens was flashed, did not work properly. After the firmware, everything became tip-top. So now I recommend this lens.

      Hello. Are you shooting in JPGe or RAW? In JPG, the camera itself controls the sharpness depending on the selected PictureControl, and in RAW, you need to sharpen it yourself during processing. If you process in Lightroom, I advise you to immediately record a preset with a sharpness of 40 and apply it when importing.

    Hello. I encountered such a problem: when working with a manual lens, the built-in flash does not work, the display shows the message “Flash in TTL mode.

        You write that you have tried all the menu items and buttons, but did not try to read the instructions for the camera? In the camera menu, find the shooting mode menu item, it has the built-in flash item, it has 2 TTL items and manual m. Choose the second one. You will be prompted to select several power options from full to 1/32 or 1/64. Here you decide for yourself.

        The manual says only about an external flash:

        In the built-in flash menu, you can change the power, but this does nothing.

    Hola. Tengo una nikon D5100 desde hace seis años (encantada ) pero ahora me ha surgido un problema y es que que no enfoca por el visor, el zoom del objetivo va y viene sin enfocar
    Ya probé con diferentes objetivos, por lo que creo que el problema está en el cuerpo.
    También señalar que por la pantalla si enfoca.
