D80 questions.

wrote: wrote: the camera. Is there an advantage to using a mechanical over I/R release? The IR shutter release won't work unless you are standing somewhere in front of the camera because that's where the IR sensor is. On the other hand it will work from a much larger distance. Not to mention that the D80 does not have a receptacle for a mechanical shutter release :-) not mechanical, but the d80 has a receptacle for an electronic release. nikon suggests the mc-dc1 but there are third party alternatives. also, the infrared remote works reasonably well from the sides and even from behind if there's something in front off of which it can bounce. |

Not having used either on the D80, I suspect the corded one has the potential to transmit movement to the camera, while the IR could be inconvenient because of positioning. Bob |

The new cords are electric not plunger air pressure bulbs like the old days. |

It's a physical connection, therefore there is chance that you might yank the cable and thus the camera when pressing the button. Not likely but not completely impossible, either. jue |

Not likely but not completely impossible, either. and you could also trip and fall while using the wireless remote, crashing into the camera. it's also arguably more likely to happen since one often has to reach over the camera to point the remote at the front of the camera, possibly becoming off balance. |

I use the D2 series' electrical release (10-pin type) frequently and if you don't take precautions against things as simple as the cord swinging, you will see the results in extreme macro shots. Mirror lock-up is standard usage also in this type of shooting. If it is there in extreme macro, it's there in normal usage, just not as visible. Bob |

I do notice such effects in normal usage when I'm trying for critical sharpness. What is it about extreme macro (which I haven't played with) that makes it more noticeable there? -- Chris Malcolm DoD #205 IPAB, Informatics, JCMB, King's Buildings, Edinburgh, EH9 3JZ, UK [http://www.dai.ed.ac.uk/homes/cam/] |
