Switching over to a DSLR is becoming a real challenge.

Have a multitude of old Nikons, so naturally I stayed with Nikon as my lens collection was substantial. Inherited a D50, nice, simple, little small and light for my taste, but got me into the digital world. Next step was a D610. Humm, bigger menu, ok, wade through it. Still wadding through it after six months. Opps, now a D800E. Loaned a friend some cash to purchase a used one with less than 1500 shutter count and battery pack. Lost his job, I got the camera, and my borrowed lens back. I haven't figured out all the menu on the 610, and the 800E is twice as big. My head hurts.

I shoot Manual, as I said prior, I have a good inventory of AI lenses. What I am trying to do is figure out how to get the 610 and 800 to expose for over the menu settings of 1/15. I know it can be done, just can't figure out how.

I still haven't plumbed the depths of all the things the little D50 can do.
