Does anyone know if there is a quick way to turn Auto ISO on and off without going in to the menus? For instance if ive got auto iso set and then decide to put the flash on for a shot i have to mess about in the menu to turn it off so i can have a low ISO. I wish turning the flash on would knock...

I second what andyred says, an older quality DSLR would be my choice. Also dont be fooled by newer cameras high megapixel counts as they really wont give better pictures than an older lower pixel dslr. Its the quality of the lens and sensor that give good images.

Thanks for the quick replies. Ive just had it on a tripod at f1.4 with a focus chart as instructed on a fine tune manual on the net. After many repeated shots at exactly the same settings it varies its focus from being occationally spot on to about 8-10mm out (usually behind) but sometimes 5mm...

Hello all, ive had my D600 for nearly a month now and keep having problems focusing with the Nikon 50mm 1.4G. It generally seems focus further back than where the focus point is. For example i was trying to take a portrait shot of my wife using AF-S, Spot Focus and Centre Weighted Metering in...
