THX y'all - Using the AFL and NFL button worked!!!

THX everyone for your replies!! Greatly appreciated!

I took two photos for a test. I was able to delete one photo but the other one gave me a flag that says: " protected image - cannot be deleted". First, I didn't even know that I can/did protect an image and 2nd I cannot find anywhere in my manual nor on the camera's menu about it. Nikon 3300 - THX!!!

great i'll try that

thx I just bought a new Sd card and have taken only a few photos. Can I delete them then format it or will it be considered empty after I delete?

arrrr I don't understand what you don't understand. No switch on lens for mf /af. Perhaps the " on " you're referring to is that the lens has PRINTED "on" it AF-P. ( ? )

Thanks again!

Thanks! On your last sentence.... If the camera is in AF mode, and I use the lens focus ring won't it take over from the camera? Or which is in control? Sorry, I'm sooo thick on this. lol Also, if I download the firmware for the lens.... er uh how will the lens know it is to get it from my computer. Seee I told ya I'm dense.

I need some clarity! 1st my equipment: Nikon D3300 with a 70-300 lens. There is NO switch on the lens for AF to MF. However it is printed on the lens AF - P. The lens does have a manual ring for focus. OK, If I have the camera in AF will not the lens MF override the camera AF? Should I just have both camera and lens in MF at the same time? If so why do I have a lens that says AF -P if it's constantly in MF with the adjustable ring? Should I ditch this lens and get one with a switch option? What does the "P" stand for - Priority I assume? I guess I asked a lot of questions but I do THANK you for any help you send my way!

THX Linda You hit it right on " overwhelmed ". To much to learn that I want know - yesterday. It's kinda like eating an elephant not knowing where to start.

Thanks gang! Sorry about being so vague on the headliner. Now, have a bit more to work with.

Thx Stardust

THX I'll check it out!

Undecided but in a need of help in the photo editing software department!

OK, I'm way slow on learning. So, I need a relatively EASY but good photo editing software. Been looking at a few but just have cold feet to make a plunge into something I'm not sure about. Perhaps y'all can help. Has anyone used Topaz AI? Others - please....THX!!!
