Hi badboy yes you did, but just had a look in your camera bag. Do you have a screw drive lens?
Hi all
I take a lot of rallying photo's and I am having problems when taking a burst of photo's that at least 3 out of 5 would be oof, at first I thought it was my lens not auto focusing quick enough (Sigma 70-200 f2.8) so I bit the bullet and bought a Nikon 70-200 f2.8 but still have the same problem. What I would like to ask is what settings would be best in the menu for focusing?
Oh sweet jesus...where has this camera been all my life........just bought a very low mileage 2nd hand one to replace an ageing but much loved D90 & am gobsmacked at the difference ....it also laughs in the face of my D7000 The difference is incredible.....I now cannot wait to see the difference in a D750...
Quick question if all you D300 owners are still around....the dial that you scroll through images with & that allows you to read the image info...can you change the directions on it ? Both the 90 & 7000 scroll images by going left and right & image info goes up & down....the 300 is the opposite way round , only small thing but keeps catching me out !
& I've found I can back button focus on this without a problem whereas I could not get the hang of it on the 7000...most strange but jeez....what a cracking sweet camera

are you sure the EN-EL4A batteries fit the the D300, they look very different to my EN-EL3e batteries ?
I've just picked up a used D300 and need to buy a couple of CF cards.
Will something like the Sandisk Ultra 8GB 50mb/s (SDCFHS-008G-G46) be sufficient for sports shooting?
Also, I'm struggling to come to terms with the autofocus settings for a sport like horse racing. Am I right in saying that 21 points (and even 9) will be fine? Horses are predictable in their movement so would using 51 points just confuse the camera?
The worrying thing is that I won't have chance to give the camera a test run before I go to a horse racing meeting on the 19th August. I'm half tempted just to use the single centre point so I at least get something in focus! I don't really want to experiment too much on the day.
Thanks.
Single point and back button focusing using AF-C. Always found it by far the most reliable way to shoot moving subjects.
Yeah, I think I'm best keeping it simple and not rely too much on the camera to make the decisions. I've been out of the loop for over a year so it'll take a while for me to get back into the swing of things.
Any recommendations on compact flash card? I'll likely get 2 x 4 or 8GB. What's the best 'bang per buck' at the moment? Planning on spending around £30 in total.
Typical error everyone makes, that is just looking at the GB of a card when really the main thing is the MB/s . A slow MB/s card can stall a camera in continuous shooting mode ( I found out to my expense). Should be looking at 45 MB/s as the minimum and faster if using video and a class4 card is also the minimum recommended for this purpose
I think Fozzybear said he picked up a D300, so no video, and no SD card, only CF.Typical error everyone makes, that is just looking at the GB of a card when really the main thing is the MB/s .
