"T & E" Trial and error! Just do it. Be thankful we don't have to wait a week to see and pay for the result.

It's very hard to diagnose a camera problem from a description of the issues. Instead, you should be posting and storing examples of your problem results so we call can see and discuss the images and your camera settings.

You guy who do these BIFs have such excellent clarity, without exception! Makes me want to give it a try, but I only have a 40-year old 60-300mm telephoto...


"Try it you'll like it!" Old lenses do just fine the tricks include good duck hunting/panning skills (or practice, practice) and a shutter speed of 1/2000 or higher. Image stabilization OFF at those speeds (above 1/640). Wide focus pattern against clear (sky) background or spot focus (when your panning skill increases) held right on the target. It's good exercise as well and when ya get a keeper WOW feels good! High ISO, when needed doesn't matter much so long as it's overexposed by about a stop. Oh, continuous shooting, my friends call me "machine gun Don!"

All fantastic advice, but wouldn't it be good to ask for a couple of days delay? The advice given aall requires a bit of time to try and evaluate what will work for you. I'd need a bit of breathing room for prep. Best of luck, your excellent results so far speak for your ability to do well.

(just learning about off-camera flash) so has to be manual and I am not sure of the settings I should use. Help! ...hoping for a quick lesson so I can get a decent shot for her tonight..."

Etram you should not have accepted this assignment... especially if you've never attempted nighttime outdoor portraiture... Sorry to be the messenger, but you have seriously exceeded your capabilities...

Since you will likely ignore my advice and attempt this shoot... The best I can suggest is to use your built in flash on the D7200 and set it's flash compensation for -1.7. Others here will try and tell you never use your built in flash... This is likely because they have yet to master this technique... See below taken with your camera model a D7200 using it's built in flash.

btw, if a commercial photographer were in your situation they might deploy a large shoot through umbrella with your (off brand) flash in manual mode using a PC Sync cord (you'll need a hot shoe converted ($2) and 20 foot PC ($15) cord to pull this off... To have the Christmas lights show up you'll need to deploy Slow Speed Flash Sycn... and let your D7200 match ambient here...

Mission impossible Etram, you're in way over your head...
And shame on those encouraging Etram to "Go for it!"
This is unlikely to end well...

I have a hard enough time finding my sd cards...those micro sd's are just too tiny...and then you have to fool with the adapters. I do have both...no choice but the micros in drones and tablets.

Dust on the sensor. If the camera has interchangeable lens capability, take the camera to a camera store that offers sensor cleaning or buy a cleaning kit and do it yourself. It’s not difficult - I did mine. I have the same issue with a non-interchangeable lens compact. Until it gets really bad I just “spot” the spots out in post processing.

Please tell how you solved this with a non interchangeable lens? I've had this myself, couldn't figure a cure other than pitch the camera in the trash.

Rapid fire burst then stack? Interesting possibilities!
