I just switched to Nikon, and have been using my new D700 for a couple days now...
My main question is what it means when the focusing blinks with black squares vs red squares. I hope what I'm asking makes sense.
Do you mean that one of/some of the focus point(s) in the viewfinder are showing red but all the others are black?
No, sometimes the focus points show up as black squares, and other times red squares (when I'm trying to focus on something).
I'm just curious as to what the difference is between them... does black mean it's not focusing as clearly as it can? And red maybe means that it's getting perfect focus? *shrug*
