Is there a depth of field (DOF) preview button or function? The Oly OMD EM10 has one and its a function I find very useful

There is a preview mode for both depth of field (aperture value) and shutter speed which can be assigned to a function key.

From what I can tell, the d60 is only the d40x with minor upgrades. There is no preview button, and the info that sits on the top of the d80 is squeezed onto the back lcd. It is the same size as the d40, however, it does feel more sturdy. I can't really say why, it might be from a few more ounces in the VR lens, i'm not sure. It does only get the three focus points. But I'm not sure about the speed flash question. If you're looking to upgrade your current camera, go for the d80 as the 60 is only a bit different than the 40.

I just got an Alpha 58 and put my ancient 70-210 zoom on. Not only did it work, but when I turned it to full zoom (AKA "macro" position) and focused close, the screen lit up a green "MACRO" mode indication with the little flower. So it properly recognized a specific detailed function from a 25-year-old lens!

There is only the LCD viewfinder. In the conditions of higher backlight - often what is sought to illuminate the subject - it is too washed out to accurately compose the pic. I understand this to be a universal complaint with LCD-only finders.

There is a wheel near the viewfinder with - and + signs. Turn that in either direction to focus the viewfinder while looking in it. :-)

Vaboo! Good topic.I've got a box of *everything* -- 110, 35mm and 126 negatives. The problem is the software doesn't really allow for this film format . . . I'm going to see if they have a SDK or something to hack that.Any suggestions for the 110s?Also, can someone suggest a good (cheap) negative viewer? That pana-vue #2 looks perfect except it's for slides.Thanks in advance!

I asked pretty much the same question, but I don't have a definitive answer. Zmodo said hold your hand over the lense for about 10 seconds and it should appear in color.

Hi Marc,Sorry, I have not even been able to use mine since it arrived broken, andfotodiox was unable to help me.But, have you tried extra lighting fromdifferent angles? This usually helps.

thanks. I come from an all manual 35mm background anyway, so I thnk you can get more creative images by honing your manual focus technique. The D60 has a Rangefinder function in the Menu which may be helpful in fine tuning your focus while using manual settings. The Range finder is an index scale that appears in the viewfinder. You can determine if you've focused in front of or behind the main subject. ( tough to use with a zoom lens , I think it may be more useful with a prime than that green dot thing)

Not to my knowledge - I don't know how else to access settings. There is no viewfinder.

The view button lets you see outside anytime it is pushed. You will enjoy having the feature.

I've never tried, but if you're a stickler for details, the 85 mm fixed would have a larger aperture opening & thus a shallower depth of field for the portrait.But with software you can always change the depth of field. Take a look at "Alien Skin" software, and they provide great webnars of their features. It's one of my favorite softwares.

Yep works fine, pic quality though comes down a bit, but sure does increase the wide angle by a lot + fols look a lot thinner due to the curvature. :p

Press the Focus button repeatedly to scroll through Normal, Infinity, Macro, and Super Macro modes. The current flash mode appears on the LCD or EVF. Normal AF: No icon; Normal picture taking. Infinity AF: Mountain Icon; Distant scenery or for taking pictures through a window. Macro AF : Flower Icon; Subjects that are 3.9-39.4 in. (10-100 cm) from the lens. Super Macro AF: Flower+ icon; Subjects that are 0.4-11.8 in. (1-30 cm) from the lens. Manual Focus : MF icon; The focus icon shows the direction and distance of the focus (to infinity).

Won't effect picture contrast. Black is black. Should only effect 3d depth though my 3d is great. Rich

Hi there. No preview. It's not digital. Point and shoot and you pull a lever to get the pic.

check the remote for the aspect button (it's a rectangle with arrows) or go to the picture menu and on second "page" there is the aspect - it sounds like you're zoomed in. i did that to mine by accident.
