Nikon D3s problems filming in incandescent light solved!!

bengtsall — Thu, 13 May 2010 14:14:31 +0000

My Nikon D3s is back at Nikon service right now because of a problem when filming in fluorescent or incandescent light.
The only way was to use iso 2500 1/40 sec or 3200 1/50 sec. In all other settings I got wandering horizontal dark areas all over the image. You can see the problen here:

I just found out what the problem is and it isn’t anything wrong with the camera.

It’s a setting.

In the “Movie settings” the “High-sensitivity movie mode” must be OFF.

Best luck with your Nikons

He put down the shovel for the last time and with an almost invisible smile strapped on his knapsack.
The walk home was to long for one day but he didn’t have an option. He needed to see her today.
The question he wanted to ask her was to important.

A charcoal-burner didn’t have the luxury of seing their loved ones more than on rare occasions.
This was indeed a rare occasion, infact the most extraordinary moment in his life.
A new job in the town was waiting for him and the possibility to become a breadwinner was finally in sight.

Epilogue:
He came home safe and sound and met her and she answered yes to his question.
And they lived happily ever after.,my granparents that is.

Love or allergy?

For all of us with no allergic problems we simply love the sight of the first leaves on the birches.
The air is fresh and the nature is vigorous.
The rest of the population, a growing number, look at the birches with loathe. All they see is the sentence of being grounded for a couple of month with breating problems.
That’s not fair.
