I apologize in advance for the stupid question. I bought the Nikon d7100 and it came with a disc that I loaded view nx2 with. It appears I can only view raw photos in this program not really edit them. I can convert to jpg and I can label them and upload them to the Nikon sharing site and I can rotate them but it doesn't appear that I can do much else. There is a button on the tool bar for capture nx2 which is greyed out. Does capture nx2 come with the camera and I am just not seeing the disc. Maybe it didn't load bc I have an older Mac running 10.6. Or do you have to purchase capture nx2?

I have been a Sony fan for a long time. Just about every television set I bought was a Sony, never had a problem with any of them. Whenever I bought a VCR or DVD player, Blue-Ray player or CD player it was always a Sony. I now have a 42" Sony XBR-3 we use in the bedroom and it's about 7 years old and looks as good now as it did when I bought it new. I have been looking at their new 65" model for my living room but at $5000.00 it's gonna have to come down considerably before I take that plunge. Your experience has me thinking twice about future Sony purchases, they used to make their own panels but, no longer do that and there may be the problem.

I am a new participant in UH (but have been reading the forums for a while) and this is my initial post. Have been a hobby shooter for 20+ years, now retired and want to up my game, including going for better equipment. Am a Nikon guy (have had the D7000 since it first came out), so looking hard at the Nikon D810, and wonder about the best lens for landscapes to use with that body. Of course, people will have different opinions about this, but I'll appreciate your thoughts. (Comments about a medium telephoto appreciated as well.)

SAVE THIS MARRIAGE or ASSIST IN THE DIVORSE

I recently purchased a Leica M Model 262 with a Summicron 35mm lens (F2)
My primary purpose for the purchase was utilization of this camera for street photography; thinking that the 262 matched with the Summicron 35 would be a "big" step up from my Canon 5D Mark 3 and Ricoh GR

Candidly, it's been a "rocky" first six months of marriage

So what"s the issue?
I have discovered that my images are consistently underexposed, especially evident in shadow areas
This occurs both in manual AND aperture priority modes

I tested metering, shooting the same subject both in manual and aperture modes, with and without automatic iso and exposure compensation
In all instances underexposure "reared its ugly head

The only way that I can bring back shadow detail (without blowing out highlights) is to add one full F stop of compensation which moves the histogram just to the left of "center"
Ideally, I like to move the histogram to the right of center, but doing so (2 F stops of compensation) blows out highlights

Any ideas?
Any suggestions?
Is there a good divorce lawyer out there?
